Treatments
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the skin or applying various other techniques to the acupuncture points to restore balance and encourage the body to heal itself.
Auricular Therapy
In Acupuncture, the ear can treat the entire body – it is a micro-system. Each part of the body has a corresponding auricular point, reflecting the physiological or pathological state of your body. Each ear point stimulates and regulates the dysfunction of the corresponding body part.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is an ancient holistic health practice of using herbal mixtures to promote healing and well being and to address specific health issues. The practice is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
Shiatsu
Shiatsu Massage is a dynamic body therapy where the therapist interacts with the receiver to help restore balance in the body and mind. Shiatsu applies gentle pressure using a practitioner’s thumbs, palms, elbows, knees and feet. It is founded on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Shiatsu Stretching
This includes joint rotations, as well as passive and active stretching to various parts of your body. When combined with breathing, the movements helps to release deeply held tightness, aches and pains.
Acupressure
Acupressure uses gentle sustained pressure to points that are known to release stiffness, stress, tension, and pain. These points have a high electrical conductivity at the surface of the skin, plus connections to nerves and blood circulation.
Sotai
Sotai stretches help to bring about structural realignment – especially for the musculoskeletal system. They can help to release restrictions in range of movements plus improve systemic function of internal organs.
Cupping Therapy
Suction cups placed on the skin help to lift and stretch tight muscles – like a reverse massage. These cups help to release tight muscles, tension and stiffness in the back and shoulders. Plus many more uses.
Pregnancy Support
Chinese Medicine is a natural therapy that typically combines acupuncture, acupressure and Chinese herbs to help support fertility – from conception to birth… and beyond. Treatments promote your own body’s natural healing ability to create the ideal nurturing environment for you and your baby.
Massage
Massage therapy kneads and manipulating muscles and other soft-tissue to help improve your wellbeing and health. It is a manual therapy that includes holding, moving, and applying pressure to your muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia.
Moxa Therapy
Heat from the burning of the mugwort herb feels warming, soothing and extremely relaxing. The heat stimulates the body and helps to release tightness in the muscles, relaxing tension and invigorating the flow of qi.
Warm Bamboo Moxa
The gentle pressure of Warm Bamboo Moxa rhythmically applied over tight muscles and injuries feels extremely relaxing. This warming technique, called Ontake, helps to soften muscles, relieve pain, and improve the movement and function of Qi and blood. Wonderful for stress relief.
Pain
Chinese Medicine treats pain as an underlying pattern of blockages in the flow Qi and blood along the internal pathways of your body. The blockages may lead to muscle pain, joint pain, and muscle cramps.
Qigong
Qigong uses simple flowing sets of gentle of movements to optimise the flow of Qi (energy) throughout your body and mind. The dynamic internal movements and inner meditations bring a harmony that help release your stress, increase health and longevity, and develop spiritual perception and awareness.
Okido Yoga
