Holistic Treatments 

According to Webster's dictionary the definition of holistic is "relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts". Within the healing arts we see this as way to help treat the underlying problems rather than mask the symptoms. If the generating problem is addressed, the issue can be resolved. Covering the symptom may give you an instant result, but not a long lasting one. The issue will continue to rear its ugly head.

Our holistic treatments focus on the whole person rather than a specific part or issue. When the body is whole it can heal itself.

Thai Yoga Massage

This ancient healing modality uses passive stretching and gentle pressure along the body's energy lines to increase flexibility, relieve muscle and joint tension and balance the body's energy systems. It is both deeply relaxing and energizing. Performed on a mat on the floor, Thai massage has its roots in a spiritual tradition, and its purpose is to assist in healing on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

Reiki

Reiki is a gentle and non-invasive treatment for stress reduction and relaxation, which triggers the bodies' natural healing abilities, and improves and maintains health. Reiki healing is a natural therapy that gently balances life energies and brings health and well being to the recipient. It has been effective in treating virtually every known malady and illness. It shortens healing time, reduces or eliminates pain, reduces stress and helps create optimism.

The Reiki practitioner uses a "laying on hands" technique where they serve as a vessel for the healing energy. During the session, the practitioner will lay hands lightly on different parts of your body or in your energy field. The experience of receiving reiki is very relaxing. Most people drift in and out of consciousness during a session. The most widely reported sensations during reiki are the feeling of heat coming from the practitioner's hands, seeing colors, and a deep feeling of relaxation. Any of these may be present, but are not necessary to receiving all the benefits of a session.

Reflexology Treatment

This relaxing and healing treatment uses pressure point massage to target specific areas of the feet, hands and ears corresponding to individual parts of the body to release energy and relieve stress.

Cupping Treatment

By creating suction and negative pressure, massage cupping therapy is used to soften tight muscles and tone attachments, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to body tissues, drain excess fluids and toxins.

Most commonly, cupping therapy is used for aches and pains of various types including low back and leg pain, neck and shoulder tension. It also helps to open up the chest and benefits the lungs to treat respiratory problems such as cough, bronchitis, and asthma. It can even benefit menstrual problems and digestive issues.

The suction of the cups do create a mark on the area and even though the spots look very painful, they are not. The color typically goes away within 2-4 days. After a cupping treatment, the muscle pain and/or restricted range of motion is often gone immediately, and will get even better as time goes on.
