Acupuncture
Chinese medicine still has roots that date back 5000 years and yet we still use it today, with marvellous results. Acupuncture has gained accolades the world over for its many therapeutic benefits.
Addictions and pain management are the two most popular reasons people seek treatment. Many have also achieved fabulous results related to injuries and immune system disorders. The physiological benefits can be noticed within the first two to three sessions.
There are hundreds of acupuncture points throughout the body. However during a treatment the practitioner inserts only a few very thin needles (often referred to as filaments) into specific points to areas that help to facilitate a positive outcome. The needles remain inserted for 25 to 35 minutes depending on the condition and the presenting symptoms. The frequency of treatments is also dependent upon the severity of the condition.
A consultation is recommended to discuss the concerns of the patient and to use diagnostic methods to further clarify what might be taking place within the body and the emotional components attached. Best results are noticed with a series of weekly treatments.
Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage is a wonderful modality for both relaxation and for helping with specific health care concerns. Depending on your needs, the therapist creates custom blended massage oils using a variety of pure essential oils. Therapeutic benefits are noticed immediately via the olfactory system (simply your sense of smell).
Used on a regular basis essential oils will impart a feeling of wellbeing and many essential oils have regulatory effects on the physical body. For example, lavender calms and sedates, basil uplifts and eucalyptus helps to expel unwanted mucous and phlegm.
Clients may be encouraged to purchase their custom blended oil for use at home with a maintenance program. Good results are noticed with bi-monthly treatments.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a modality that aids the body in attaining optimum balance. The human body is comprised of various systems, for example; the lymphatic, the circulatory and the nervous system and optimal health occurs when they work in harmony with one another.
Reflex and pressure points reside in the feet, hands and throughout the body. When massage and gentle pressure is applied to the reflexes, the corresponding systems respond in positive ways. Often various reflexes in the feet will be tender which provides insight into which body systems are in need of attention.
Traditional treatments include the feet and hands, however a full body session includes the head and limbs in addition to the hands and feet. Great results are noticed with treatments that begin weekly tapering off to monthly maintenance.
