FOOT REFLEXOLOGY
Swedish
Massage is a gentle, flowing massage technique that is particularly
effective for people suffering from work related or personal stress.
Swedish Massage can relax and tone your sore, tired muscles, assist
the flow of blood and oxygen, encourage the lymphatic flow (the
body’s natural defense and detoxifying system), and leave
you feeling calm and energized. It involves applying a system
of long gliding strokes, kneading and friction techniques, generally
done in the direction of the blood flow to the heart.
Manual
Lymphatic Drainage
The
lymphatic system is composed of nodes and ducts that transport
intracellular lymphatic fluid from the tissues to the bloodstream.
This is one of the body’s most effective measures of detoxifying
and maintaining a healthy immune system. The lymphatic fluid carries
oxygen, nutrients and lymphocytes (white blood cells) to fight
infection and then carries off the toxins, dead cells, bacteria
and viruses. Unlike the bloodstream, which is pumped by the heart,
the lymphatic system is activated or “pumped by muscle movement
during exercise or by massage using a lymphatic drainage technique.
We can enhance Lymphatic circulation by adding the Lymph-Light
Treatment. (See Lymph-Light Treatment)
Lymph-Light
Treatment
The
Lymph-Light Machine uses low current, cold gas light photons that
produce an ionizing light. This light comes from a wand held by
the practitioner to target various nodes and ducts of the lymphatic
system. The frequency modulation produced by the light is safe
to use by lay practitioners. The Lymph-Light Treatment effects
cells on an energetic level by rebalancing the charge of the cells
own electromagnetic field. Cells in the lymphatic system can clump
together and bond electrically with water, which can create diseased
tissue, edema, benign tumors, swelling and other blockages that
are dissolved and released by the Lymph-Light Treatment.
Foot
Reflexology
Foot
Reflexology involves massaging of the feet and ankles exclusively.
Each part of the foot corresponds to different organs and areas
of the body and thus is a therapeutic treatment for the entire
body. It can also be useful as a diagnostic tool. When certain
points on the foot are painful to the touch this is indicative
of blocked energy related to that body part. Deep massage applied
to these areas can remove the block and get the currents flowing
again.
With simple massage techniques the whole body can be stimulated
and blocks released so that the regenerative process can take
place.
Spa Treatment
This
treatment includes a full body exfoliation with sun-dried sea
salt, organic sesame seed oil and aromatherapy. This removes the
dead skin so the body can eliminate toxins in the infrared sauna,
which follows.
This
treatment also includes a Five Point Women’s Health Massage
which consists of: deep tissue massage on the back, neck and shoulders,
anti-stress on the face and scalp, lymphatic drainage on the breasts/chest
and abdomen, cellulite massage on the hips thighs and buttocks
and lastly foot reflexology on the feet. The Spa Treatment last
for three hours.
Infrared Sauna
The
Infrared Sauna detoxifies the body on a cellular level from heavy
metals including mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, arsenic, formaldehyde
and industrial chemicals. Infrared saunas have shown to assist
in weight loss, pain management, skin purification, detoxification,
and stress reduction. It can also provide relief to patients suffering
from arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and certain
skin conditions. Infrared sauna surrounds the body and penetrates
deeply into joints, muscles and tissues, increasing oxygenation
of tissue, getting endorphins flowing and increasing over all
circulation. It is the perfect addition to any detoxification
program.
