Acupressure
Local-Distal Acupressure uses gentle, yet deep finger pressure on specific acupuncture-points and uses mindfulness techniques to help release “armoring” or chronic tension, and balance the “chi” or energy. This clothes-on method can help relieve stress and physical tension. Acupressure supports the body's natural energy system, therefore any number of physical ailments can be worked with. Acupressure can be deeply relaxing and refreshing.
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. Craniosacral Therapists release restrictions in the soft tissue that surround the central nervous system. CST is increasingly used as a preventative health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and its effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction. Evolving from Cranial Osteopathy, a specialisation of the osteopathic profession, it uses a light touch to examine disfunction within membranes and spinal fluid between the cranium (head) and sacrum (base of the spine). In relieving tension here, in the central nervous system, it eliminates pain, boosts the immunity and promotes a feeling of well-being. CranioSacral work is effective for a wide range of medical problems. It’s light, but deep. Gentle, but gets to the core of the issue. Whether you are experiencing physical or emotional pain, going through major life changes or simply need to get a handle on stress, CranioSacral work can help you come home to yourself.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Technique
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a technique based on gentle, rhythmic and constant movements that mimic the rhythm of the body’s lymphatic system, in which the Practitioner uses a range of specialized and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the lymph fluid in the direction of the lymph pathways. Manual Lymphatic Drainage stimulates the lymphatic vessels which carry substances vital to the defense of the body and removes waste products. The main goal of manual lymph drainage, or “lymphatic drainage” is to improve upon or restore a drainage and transport system that is impaired or slowed down. A big part of the lymphatic system is located very close to the surface of the body, thus manual lymph drainage techniques are applied very effectively with much less pressure than regular massage. Manual Lymphatic Drainage Technique activates the parasympathetic nervous system, naturally reducing stress and stress hormones. Treatments are profoundly relaxing, and calming to the nervous system, can reduce pain and restore balance. Stress and fatigue can weaken our immune system. When our immunity is low we are more susceptible to viruses or other contagious conditions that might be going around. Manual Lymphatic Drainage Technique can help strengthen the immune system.
