Mudra Massage

The heat from the hot stones helps your muscles relax, allowing the massage therapist to manipulate your deep tissues more effectively. Overly tense muscles can hinder the massage procedure, so if your muscles are extremely tight or stiff, the therapist will still be able to penetrate deep into the tissues. In combination w/ deep-tissue, Swedish, & Asiatsu techniques, there’s no muscular problem this massage won’t address.

The heat from the stones penetrates deeply into your body tissues, which will enable the blood vessels to open & circulation to improve. Poor circulation can lead to fatigue, which tenses the muscles, creating a buildup of Cortisol & lactic acid in the muscles. Increased circulation brings more oxygen to the muscles, which can help alleviate soreness.

If you’re in need of deep tissue work, but don’t want the discomfort that comes w/ pointy elbows & thumbs, then Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy® is the treatment for you. Gravity enables your therapist to deliver deeper pressure than w/ hands-on, so you’ll enjoy the same extra range of movement & chronic tension relief without having to endure painful strokes.

Many of A.O.B.T. movements help to elongate the spine. These movements dramatically stretch the shortened muscles, relieving any discomfort. These strokes also help the body’s lymphatic system release toxins at a very high rate, which is why it is important to drink lots of water before & after a treatment.

Deep-tissue​ massage is one of the most effective & affordable ways of reducing chronic pain. Deep-tissue massage increases the flow of blood through the body, which will help diminish the inflammation that causes pain. Deep-tissue massage can also help alleviate muscle tension, which is often a side-affect of chronic pain, by loosening adhesions (a.k.a., knots) .

Over a length of time, deep-tissue massage can help break up & eventually eradicate scar tissue in the muscles. It accomplishes this by improving lymphatic circulation & drainage to generate extra flexibility & range of motion in the problem area. Scar tissue often accompanies chronic pain & stiffness, so deep-tissue massage can help lessen these symptoms.

Swedish massage helps to stimulate the lymph system by relaxing your muscles. The function of your lymph system is to circulate nutrient-filled fluids & waste around your body. Massage will improve this circulation because the movement of lymphatic fluid is dependent on voluntary muscle movements. As the therapist relaxes the muscles the lymph system will have the ability to flush out all of the metabolic waste from the muscles. This will help you to heal faster.

While a Swedish massage can be utilized to help people who suffer from physical health conditions, it can also be a great treatment for those who are troubled by everyday emotional stress. There are many things in our lives that can cause us to worry & be stressed out. The more that we stress, the more our muscles tense up & it can become increasingly difficult to relax them.

Ashi-Thai​ massage works in a similar way to regular yoga poses. As participants hold a pose, blood slows to targeted areas. When the therapist releases the pose, fresh circulation rushes back into the area. Twisting & inverted Ashi-Thai massage positions are particularly effective in refreshing circulation.

Clients can improve their immune system functions through Ashi-Thai massage by invigorating the nervous system & releasing toxins through improved circulation. Stimulating the immune system will help increase your resistance to diseases.
