Acupressure Oil Massage
Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote circulation of blood and the body’s life force to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use much the same points, but acupuncture uses needles while acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands (and even feet).
Acupressure can help relieve headache, neck, upper and lower back pain, eyestrain, sinus problems, arthritis, joint and muscle pain, stress related tension and anxiety, indigestion, constipation, ulcer pain, menstrual cramps, and can help healthy sleep.
Acupressure point therapy is combined with various western style massages (Swedish / Californian / Sensitive / Sports), as well as organic essential aromatherapy oils, to create Acupressure oil massage

Many of its exercises may be described as applied hatha yoga. It loosens joints, including all the small joints and spine, increases mobility and vitality.

Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a Japanese word meaning “finger pressure”. It is a Japanese acupressure art of balancing the body for structural integration and muscular tension release. It is a fully clothed massage. It is characterized by its seeming simplicity, by its deep abdominal organ massage, as well as its focus on releasing tension and promoting balance through deep respiration. Shiatsu gives a still, relaxed pressure on the acupuncture point and meridians of the body with the hands and thumbs. Underneath the uncomplicated movements much is happening internally to the body’s energy on a subtle level. Shiatsu helps even out the swings between the extremes of Yin and Yang, to find appropriate balance, harmony and serenity.
