Remedial Acupressure Massage accesses the energy (meridian) lines of the body through stretching and direct thumb, finger, palm, elbow and sometimes knee pressure, affecting change within the body on both a physical and emotional level. These sessions are received "clothes on, no oil". For the optional use of some oil and Cupping, please see Remedial Reflexology Massage.



​Acupressure is an umbrella term used to describe asian-style massages such as Shiatsu & Traditional Thai. In these styles oil is traditionally NOT used as it is considered to clog & block important movement flow within the body.

 

Shiatsu Massage is a traditional Japanese bodywork often used in the west as an overlay for the diagnostic models of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Aspects of the client’s health are evaluated, related back to and then treated as imbalances and blockages within a five-element system of organ & meridian networks (Five Elements: earth, metal, water, wood  & fire). Treatments can focus in on a range of emotional and physical issues associated with each organ network or element.



Traditional Thai Massage is a full body energy rebalance, meridian and major muscle group stretch & release that rebalances the rhythms of the body - freeing energy blockages from typical points of stagnation and areas of (often unconscious) contraction & armouring - allowing clean energy and blood to flow into and reduce pain in problem areas - incorporating gentle yoga-like stretches into the treatment, sensitively tailored to the flexibility of the receiver.

​

Treatment content, pace and pressure levels are specifically tailored to each individual client and, unless otherwise requested, incorporate aspects from both Shiatsu & Thai Yoga Acupressure (Remedial) Massage modalities.
