Massage Therapy

As an alternative form of healthcare, massage therapy is a great way to reduce occupational discomfort and everyday stress. It can also alleviate many chronic pain conditions. Beyond its relaxing qualities, massage therapy is an effective treatment for headaches, migraines, whiplash, stress, “frozen shoulder,” back pains and muscle spasms. Massage therapy aids in restoring normal function to the soft tissues in the body.

Stress can be managed safely and effectively with massage therapy. Stress upsets the delicate balance of our bodies’ functions and massage helps to normalize them by decreasing physical and emotional stress. Massage is greatly recommended for everyone to maintain a healthy immune system and sense of well-being. Massage can provide you with healthcare support throughout your life and become an integral part of your healthcare maintenance.

Gua Sha Therapy

Gua sha therapy, as it relates to massage, is a specialized fascial therapy. It can directly stimulate peripheral nerves, improve local circulation of blood and lymph fluid, speed up the metabolism, promote nutritional supply and facilitate the body’s defence systems. This improves the function of the soft tissue in the treated area. Gua sha is a part of the study and application of Chinese medicine. “Gua” means to scrape or rub, while “Sha” is a reddish, elevated patch of skin. The result of gua sha therapy is to improve qi flow and blood circulation, balance yin and yang, remove pathogenic factors, discharge or drain stagnant toxins and refresh the mind.
