Massage & Steam Therapy Treatment
Steam therapy has been found to significantly reduce muscular pain and spasms. Pain is found to be alleviated in just one session and the benefit can last for several days after the treatment. Regular steam treatments 2 to 3 times per weeks have shown to have profound relief for those having muscle pain due to injury, menstruation pain, headaches, fibromyalgia and low back pain
60 minute massage plus 20 minute steam therapy treatment $120.00


How steam works
As heat penetrates the muscles, capillaries dilate and there is an increased flow of oxygen to sore muscles. Muscles and tissues become more pliable and relaxed helping to increase mobility and reduce stiffness.

Scientific Research:
Sauna bathing has been used as a thermal therapy to treat pain and other symptoms of rheumatic disease. In studies based on interviews of over 200 patients, 40 to 70 percent of the participants reported that sauna bathing alleviated pain and improved joint mobility. (Source: The American Journal of Medicine, February 1, 2001, Volume 110.)

In addition, a New Jersey Medical School Researcher found that heat therapy was more effective than analgesics for low back pain. Several different types of pain including the lower and upper back and menstrual pain can be treated with low-level heat therapies.

The results showed that the low level heat therapy provided significantly more pain relief beginning on the first day of treatment than the oral analgesics and the effects lasted more than 28 hours after the treatment.


Why Do Clients Love The Steam Treatment

*Treatments are completely private, allowing clients to deeply relax and unwind.
*The head and neck are not heated during a steam treatment, making it more comfortable and avoiding the dizziness and overheating associated with saunas
*Clients are lying down (not sitting) allowing even blood circulation and deeper relaxation
*The client does not have to get up between the massage as the steam treatment takes place on the same table.


REIKI
  

Reiki is an ancient system of hands-on healing which was rediscovered in Japan in the early twentieth century. It is a safe, gentle technique that balances the flow of energy throughout the body and restores its natural ability to heal.

Reiki is unique in that it responds directly to the needs of the recipient and works on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It generally produces a deep relaxation response which brings immediate stress relief. Reiki releases toxins and replenishes the body with life force energy to improve health and enhance quality of life.

The stress of our busy lives can leave us feeling drained or blocked by physical, emotional and mental issues. When we feel this way, it means there is an imbalance in our energy system and our vital life energy is low. There is always an energy imbalance at the root cause of every illness, disease or discomfort. Reiki is a system of healing that addresses energy imbalance.

The effects of a Reiki treatment may last several days. The benefits are cumulative with each successive session. Each treatment builds on the previous one to correct energy imbalances and gives longer lasting benefits. Reiki is effective with chronic as well as recent health conditions.

Potential benefits of Reiki include: relief of pain, renewed energy, decrease in anxiety and depression, improved sleep, improved digestion, accelerated healing and reduced recovery time after an injury, illness or surgery.

To date, scientific research and anecdotal evidence have shown Reiki to be effective in decreasing anxiety and pain, improving mood and promoting an overall sense of well-being.

One study of 870 patients in Portsmouth Regional Hospital, New Hampshire had results showing less use of pain medications, shorter lengths of stay, and increased patient satisfaction.

Currently the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine of the National Institute of Health in USA is sponsoring research investigating Reiki’s effectiveness for various clinical conditions such as: stress, fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, prostate cancer and advanced Aids.

Reiki is being recognized world-wide for its health benefits. It is being added to services in hospitals, medical clinics, hospices, long term care facilities and is flourishing in private practice. Reiki is offered in many spas for its natural ability to provide relaxation, stress relief and renewed energy.

Reiki is an invitation to wellness for those who seek balance, restoration and a holistic approach to self-care.
