Aging and Massage

As we age, our muscles tend to get stiffer, we have less elasticity in our tendons and ligaments and require longer recovery periods.  Due to our stressful lifestyles, extreme activities, overeating, overworking, sitting at desks - massage has been proven to counteract our often sedentary lifestyle and the aging process.

Benefits

The benefits of massage include:

  • Deep relaxation and stress reduction
  • Reduced muscle spasm and tension
  • Relief from entrapment of nerves in muscle tissue
  • Greater joint flexibility and range of motion
  • Increased ease and efficiency of movement
  • Reduced stress

 

Watsu

The word “Watsu” comes from the words Water and Shiatsu.

While most forms of bodywork use either a table or floor to provide support, Watsu® is unique in that it uses warm water and your own natural buoyancy for support.

 

Watsu is a gentle form of body therapy performed in warm water, (around 96 degrees).   It combines elements of massage, joint mobilization, shiatsu, muscle stretching and dance. The receiver is continuously supported while being floated, cradled, rocked and stretched. The deeply relaxing effects of warm water and nurturing support, combine with Watsu's movements, stretches, massage and point work, to create a bodywork with a range of therapeutic benefits and potential healing on many levels.

Moments of stillness alternate with rhythmical flowing movements, which free the body in ways impossible on land. The warm water relaxes the muscles and supports the spine. With this support and without the weight of the body, the spine, joints and muscles can be manipulated and freed in a way unique to water work. The effects include a very gentle, yet deep stretching and a release of muscular and joint restrictions, along with a state of deep relaxation, which encourages the release of stress and tensions.

Hot Stone massage

Hot Stone massage involves the application of heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.

Hot Stone Massage  

Thermotherapy — the application of heat — relieves sore muscles, helping to alleviate the stiffness brought on by too many hours at a desk and the stress of everyday life.

Reflexology

Reflexology is based on the principle that areas, or Reflex Zones, on the feet and hands, correspond to each organ, gland and structure within the body.

By working on the feet with gentle pressure massage, each reflex is stimulated, helping to clear blockages and imbalances caused by stress and tension, injury and disease.
