Traditional Chinese Full Body Massage

A full body massage, normally undertaken through a linen sheet or with baby oil. This massage includes work on head, neck, back, arms, fingers, buttocks, legs and feet using a combination of styles to release tension and improve circulation. If required, the massage can be accompanied by cupping and other non invasive Chinese medicine treatments to accelerate recovery. Normally this is quite a deep style of massage but can be adapted to suit your preferences.

Sports Injury Massage

Chinese Massage is renowned for its therapeutic effects on sports injuries, and is particularly valuable for sports enthusiasts (or indeed anyone) who has suffered musculoskeletal damage from whatever cause.By understanding and concentrating around the area of damage and the associated acupuncture points, Chinese massage, occasionally incorporating mild medication, deep tissue and cupping techniques, can bring great and long-lasting relief and recovery to many types of injury.Some of the beneficial effects of Sports Massage include:

• Immediate pain reduction/relief
• Relieving muscle tension, knotting and soreness
• Facilitating improved joint movement
• Speeding the body’s natural recovery processes
• Aiding relaxation and sleep

Women’s Breast [& Stomach] Massage

This is a traditional Chinese woman to woman practise, to target benign breast conditions by improving the circulation and reducing abnormalities in ducts and lobules (lumps). It can also include massage to the stomach and gut to improve general intestinal health.

 

Chinese cupping is a traditional therapy where suction cups are applied to the skin to relieve pain, improve blood flow, and stimulate healing, with potential benefits for conditions like low back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis. The primary mechanism is understood to be through the stimulation of the nervous system and increased blood circulation in the affected area. Research indicates promising results in pain reduction and functional improvement. Cupping is also used as a form of deep tissue massage, with the vacuum and the pressure creating a similar stimulating and muscle-relaxing effect. 

It works by, placing cups on the skin and creating a vacuum with a pump. This vacuum pulls blood to the surface of the skin, to enhance circulation and promote the body’s natural healing response in the affected area. The pressure and sensations generated during cupping help stimulate nerve fibres, which generally help to inhibit pain signals.

Important Note:

The suction force from cupping breaks open tiny blood vessels called capillaries under your skin. You’ll have red, round cupping therapy marks that should fade in a week or two. Although these marks will look like bruises, they’re not true bruises that injure muscle fibers.

Traditional Chinese Wet Cupping

Traditional Chinese ‘wet’ cupping, (拔罐療法 bá guàn liáo fǎ), is a centuries-old practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves making small skin lesions (using a very small sterilized disposable medical lancet) and then using suction cups to draw out small quantities of blood and extracellular fluid to promote healing. This is only used where conditions have been fully evaluated and are considered more serious, and where blood circulation may be impaired in the damaged area/s.

Important Note:

We provide a strong topical anaesthetic prior to the procedure to manage any local pain, and requires more consultation time to be effective.
