European Raindrop Therapy $100
Developed as a result of extensive research, Raindrop Therapy is an aromatherapy technique that applies carefully selected, therapeutic grade essential oils along the spine to correct back pain caused by muscular or emotional tension and toxicity.
Viruses and bacteria lie dormant along the spine, depleting the immune system, and eventually causing inflammation and misalignment among other problems. These powerful essential oils, known for their anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, work to correct many of the ailments suffered as a result of blockages in the nerves along the spinal column. Some of the benefits reported include: relieved stress and anxiety, pain relief, deeper relaxation, revitalization, detoxification.
Massage Description
Swedish Massage Therapy - Massage therapists use long smooth strokes, kneading,
and circular movements on superficial layers of muscle using massage lotion or
oil.
AROMATHERAPY - The use of
essential oils (extracted from herbs, flowers, resin, woods, and roots) in body
and skin care treatments is known as aromatherapy.
Deep Tissue Massage-Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning
deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for
chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness,
and sore shoulders. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these
adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage
therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain
of the muscles.
Hot Stone Massage -The heat warms and relaxes the muscles, which allows the therapist to apply deeper pressure, if desired. The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system. Hot stones with swedish massage techniques make for a great and relaxing massage.
MYOFASCIAL
RELEASE - Myofascial release is the three-dimensional application
of sustained pressure and movement into the fascial system in order to eliminate
fascial restrictions and facilitate the emergence of emotional patterns and
belief systems that are no longer relevant or are impeding progress.
Pregnancy Massage-Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce
anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains,
and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Massage therapy addresses
different needs through varying techniques, one of which is called Swedish
Massage, which aims to relax muscle tension and improve lymphatic and blood
circulation through mild pressure applied to the muscle groups of the body.
Swedish Massage is the recommended prenatal massage method during pregnancy
because it addresses many common discomforts associated with the skeletal and
circulatory changes brought on by hormone shifts during pregnancy. Many
professionals consider the best position for a pregnant woman during massage is
side-lying.
Myoskeletal Alignment -Dalton's muscle energy and
myofascial mobilization techniques offer the pain-management, sports therapist
and structural integrator
SPORTS MASSAGE - Sports
massage is designed to enhance athletic performance and recovery. There are
three contexts in which sports massage can be useful to an athlete: pre-event,
post-event, and injury treatment.Pre-event massage is delivered at the
performance site, usually with the athlete fully clothed. Fast-paced and
stimulating, it helps to establish blood flow and to warm up muscles. During the
massage, the athlete generally focuses on visualizing the upcoming event.
Post-event massage is also delivered on site, through the clothes. The intent
here is to calm the nervous system and begin the process of flushing toxins and
waste products out of the body. Post-event massage can reduce recovery time,
enabling an athlete to resume training much sooner than rest alone would allow.
When an athlete sustains an injury, skillful massage therapy can often speed and
improve the quality of healing.
Stretching Massage - is when the therapist will
stretch the clients muscles during the massage to increase muscle range of
motion as well as reduce pain. Stretching counteracts tension by lengthening
contracted muscle tissue, and mechanically "pumps" lactic acid and other waste
products out of the muscles. Once the contraction has been relaxed, normal
circulation is restored, and the muscles can rest. If there has been
micro-tearing due to overuse, stretching will help realign developing scar
tissue to prevent adhesions from forming. Stretching allows the muscle to regain
its full range of motion by lengthening muscle fibers that have become shortened
by work or exercise.
SWEDISH MASSAGE - Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the
body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the
heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. The disrobed client
is covered by a sheet, with only the area being worked on exposed. Therapists
use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive, and tapping
movements, with the application of oil, to reduce friction on the skin. The many
benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of
scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and
reduce swelling from injury.
Trigger Point - Trigger point therapy is a
form of deep tissue but does not scrape muscle fibers the way deep tissue does.
Trigger Point targets knots and adhesions by applying pressure to the center of
the knot, forcing it to let go, followed by stokes that provide increased
circulation to flush released toxins out and away of the affected area allowing
the body to get rid of it.
Raindrop Therapy is a massage technique that applies carefully selected essential oils along the spine to correct back pain caused by muscular tension and toxicity.

REFLEXOLOGY - Based on an ancient
Chinese therapy, reflexology involves manipulation of specific reflex areas in
the foot and hands that correspond to other parts of the body. Sometimes
referred to as zone therapy, this bodywork involves application of pressure to
these reflex zones to stimulate body organs and relieve areas of congestion.
Similar to acupressure principles, reflexology works with the body’s energy flow
to stimulate self-healing and maintain balance in physical function. This
technique is used to reduce pain, increase relaxation, and stimulate circulation
of blood and lymphatic fluids. It is especially useful in stress-related illness
and emotional disorders.
Stimulating the nerve endings connected to the various body systems is believed, by many, to achieve many beneficial results including:
-
Stress Reduction: When stressed our body's defences break down and we become more susceptible to sickness and disease. Reflexology relaxes the body, thus helping it to balance itself.
-
Improved Circulation: Blood needs to flow freely throughout the body carrying oxygen and nutrients to all the cells and removing the waste products of metabolism and other toxins. By reducing stress and tension, reflexology allows the cardiovascular vessels to conduct the flow of blood naturally and easily.
-
Stimulated Nerve Function: By stimulating the more than 7,000 nerves in the feet, reflexology encourages the opening and clearing of neural pathways. It interrupts pain pathways, therefore reducing pain.
-
Improved Immune System: Reflexology stimulates the lymphatic system thus reducing risk of infection. It cleanses the body of toxins and impurities and also stimulates the production of endorphins, leading to an improved immune system and sense of well-being.
-
Increased Energy: Reflexology revitalizes energy throughout the body by relaxing and opening up energy pathways.
