WHAT IS MASSAGE THERAPY?

Massage is a system of stroking, pressing and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the body. Massage works on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments to release tension and/or to improve muscle tone. Massage also stimulates blood circulation, assisting the lymphatic system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system), in the process of eliminating cellular byproducts throughout the body.

Although a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are cumulative. Receiving massage on a regular basis will help the body counteract the impact of stress and restore balance. Moreover, by restoring the normal muscular tone, massage can prevent injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension and any resulting structural weaknesses. Massage can stimulate or calm the nervous system, depending on the needs of the individual. A professional massage has the potential to benefit the individual physically, mentally and spiritually.

We offer regular Sweedish Massage, Trager Approach, Prenatal Massage, Reiki. We also offer pain management using Infrared Laser technology and BEST (Best electro-stimulation technology)

This is what Dr. Andrew Weil, a pioneer in Integrative Medicine, says about Trager in his book Self Healing:

"The Trager Approach is an excellent method of reducing stress, and I recommend it to people who get tension headaches frequently. Besides calming effects, the approach can help facilitate the nervous system's communication with muscles, so it can be a useful rehabilitation method for people recovering from a stroke or traumatic injuries or who have chronic neuromuscular disorders such as multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease and post-polio syndrome.Also, research shows that The Trager Approach can improve breathing in people with chronic lung disease, and practitioners claim it can help people with various types of chronic pain."

MORE ABOUT AVAZZIA BEST devices: They produce microcurrent impulses, transmitted through the skin to interface with the body’s internal peripheral nervous system for the purpose of therapeutic intervention. BEST devices react to the body’s response to the microcurrent stimulus. With each response, the electrical properties of the tissue change. The device detects changes and responds, resulting in the very next signal being modified. This is possible because Avazzia BEST products use high-speed microprocessors, which establish a “cybernetic loop” between the device and the body’s tissue.
