Foot Massage Therapy is used on the muscles located around the front and back of the foot. Techniques such as acupressure, friction, skin rolling and trigger pointing are used to help with acute pain, post injury, post-surgery and even scarring.

The stimulation of the feet activates the body wide responses, such as gait reflexes and the autonomic nervous system. This outcome alone is helpful in explaining the benefits of foot and hand massage. In addition, many nerve endings on the feet and hands correlate with acupressure points, which trigger the release of endpoints and other endogenous chemicals when stimulated. In addition, major plexuses for the lymph system are located in the hands and feet. Rhythmic compressive forces in these areas stimulate lymphatic movement. Foot massage may also affect various neurochemicals such as oxytocin.

Benefits: Foot Massage Therapy improves circulation, stimulates muscles, reduces tension, and often eases pain. It also gives you a chance to check out your feet so you can get a jump on treating blisters, bunions, corns, and toenail problems.

The term Tui-Na (pronounced “twee naw”), which literally means “pinch and pull,” refers to a wide range of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapeutic massage and body work. Tui-na is not generally used for pleasure and relaxation, but rather as a treatment to address specific issues or  patterns of disharmony.

Tui-na Massage Therapy practitioners use a combination of hand and arm techniques to massage and realign the recipient’s muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons. These techniques can include kneading, pressing, rolling, shaking, and stretching. Similar to acupuncture, the practitioner stimulates pressure points in the recipient’s body.

Benefits: The main benefit of tui-na massage is that it focuses on the specific problem, whether it is an acute or a chronic pain associated with the joints, muscles, or a skeletal system. This technique is very beneficial in reducing the pain of neck, shoulders, hips, back, arms, thighs, legs, and ankle disorders.
