Tui Na (pronounced ‘Twee-nah’) is a non-invasive medical massage practiced by the Chinese. Tui Na practitioners use diverse massage techniques that soften hard muscles that may have developed from injury, bad posture or neglect. The massage encourages a better blood and oxygen supply in the energy channels facilitating the healing process. Tui Na is used to treat particular problems. Styles of Tui Na differ, some are gentle and subtle while other are deep and vigorous.

Acupressure (manual activation of acupuncture points) is used in Tui Na Therapy and Reflexology treatments.

In Energetic Massage, the term ‘Energetic’ does not refer to the amount of energy used by the therapist during the massage, but to the action of treating the body on an ‘energetic’ level. This means addressing the mind, body and spirit as one in order to restore harmony. Pain and illness affect both the mind and body and therefore both need to be treated together. As well as a more conventional understanding of anatomy and physiology, the Energetic Massage Therapist is trained to identify tension and blockages in the body, and to help the person being massaged to relax using breathing techniques and the power of touch. Energetic Massage Therapy is suitable for both men and women, and can aid relaxation, reduce stress and tension, and relieve muscle pain. Because massage therapy stimulates the circulation of blood and lymph it also detoxifies the body and nourishes and improves the skin. The types of problems which can benefit from Energetic Massage Therapy include not only physical problems such as headaches, insomnia and joint or muscle pain and stiffness, but also emotional issues such as sadness, anger and frustration. A good massage therapist will always check that the person receiving the massage is comfortable with the amount of pressure being used. The parts of the body that are massaged include the back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, legs and feet. A full body massage usually takes at least an hour, after which the person receiving the treatment experiences a profound sense of relaxation and well-being.

Aromatherapy Massage combines the use of essential oils with massage techniques. The oils are specifically chosen and blended according to the needs of the individual. Using massage helps to relax tense and aching muscles, and stimulates the lymphatic circulation to help eliminate toxins from the body. Massage also improves the circulation to the skin which aids the absorption of the oils. Receiving a massage from an experienced therapist can also have an effect on an emotional level. Aromatherapy is generally a very safe and gentle treatment, but it is important to consult a qualified practitioner since some of the oils are not appropriate for use with young children, pregnant women or those with certain medical conditions such as epilepsy. The type of problems which respond well to Aromatherapy Massage include muscular tension and pain, stress related disorders, insomnia, headaches and digestive problems. Massage for Pregnancy is also available and can help with many problems such as constipation, sciatica, swollen ankles, and varicose veins.
