Massages

Foot reflexology is a reflective method in which the reflex points located on the feet are pressed using a special massage technique. The feet reflect the organism like a mirror.

Connective tissue massage is a reflective massage that works with the reflex zones of the body. The reflex zones are comparable to small antennae that lie under the skin and transmit signals to the brain. Organs and the organ system are also connected to the connective tissue via associated segments.

In order to ensure an unhindered flow of energy, it is necessary to examine disturbing or obstructing scars closely with the acupuncture stick. Sensitivity to pressure, stinging or numb spots in the centre of the scar or in the area around the scar are indications that treatment is needed.

The following special massages are performed for healing purposes
only after a doctor's order:

Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle skin shifting technique. The purpose of manual lymph drainage is to make body fluids flow, to remove waste products from the connective tissue and to improve the metabolic situation. Manual lymph drainage has a mechanical effect on the vascular system of the lymph on the one hand and a direct effect on the autonomic nervous system on the other. With properly applied lymphatic drainage, relaxation and fatigue occur.

Acupuncture massage is the oldest form of acupuncture and describes a therapy system from ancient China. In contrast to acupuncture, no needles are used, but whole meridians and meridian groups are stimulated with a metal rod that has a small ball at its end, in order to get the life energy flowing in the meridians moving.

In APM and other Asian healing arts, all physical and psychological disorders are attributed to an imbalanced supply of life energy to the organism. The Chinese call this energy Chi or Qi.

Chi flows through the meridians. Congestion, lack or excess of energy in the meridian system can lead to mental and physical complaints.

The focus of craniosacral therapy is the human being in his or her uniqueness and with his or her possibilities for growth. Body, soul and spirit form a unity.

The field of action of the cranio-sacral application are blockages of the spinal column and disturbances of the bone structure. The soft, gently rhythmic grip technique represents a vibration and resonance therapy of the skull, spine and pelvis, which stimulates a healing process and the self-healing powers in the body. By harmonising the cranio-sacral rhythm, tensions can be relieved and pain can be alleviated.
