MASSAGE
Zen Thai Shiatsu massage – a relaxing and energising full body massage treatment combining Zen Shiatsu techniques and Traditional Thai massage techniques, done on a large floor mat with your clothes on.
Zen Shiatsu techniques focus on working acupressure points to release stagnancy and blockages on the energy meridian lines. This helps to tone the body’s organs, thus assisting your body’s natural healing mechanisms by allowing them to do their job more effectively.
Traditional Thai massage includes techniques that massage and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons to help mobilize the joints and release tension in your body .
Experience a whole body massage that will assist your body to naturally heal itself. I’ll give you a unique blend of the above massage modalities specifically suited to your needs that will enhance the free flow of energy throughout your body.
How will improving the flow of energy in my body help me heal myself?
By improving the flow of energy along the body’s energy meridians the organs and tissues of the body will be toned to function more effectively, helping you release stagnancy and physical or emotional resistance (or blockages), which will allow your body’s natural healing mechanism to function better.
Will massage help me?
Yes! The massage session encourages the body to reset and heal itself. It consists of a series of precise moves on the skin (or through light clothing), applied to acupressure points on the energy meridians, plus massaging, stretching and mobilization of muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and joints.
A wide range of problems can be successfully treated, the most common ones are headache, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, sciatica and knee pain but non-muscular issues can also be treated.
