IPF Massage Technique

A medical massage factors into a larger plan to improve specific medical challenges you may be facing. The technique depends on individual needs and this is how the session is based and planned.

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a specialized type of deep tissue massage designed to relieve and return injured tissue to normal function. NMT uses a combination of muscle/connective tissue release, advanced flexibility stretches and self care to eliminate the causes of most muscular aches and pains.

NMT can provide long-term relief because it balances the nervous system with muscular and skeletal systems which naturally brings the body back into anatomical alignment. NMT addresses postural and muscular imbalances, nerve entrapment, ischemia and muscular trigger points.

AYURVEDIC HEAD, NECK, FACE AND SHOULDER MASSAGE

Ayurvedic massage has its roots in India dating back to more than 5000 years. During this session Marma points are massaged. Marma points are junctions on the body where two or more types of tissue meet. the head is anointed with frankincense essential oil to stimulate the scalp, neck, face and shoulders. Some of the benefits are increased oxygen to the brain, calming of the nervous system, reduced stress, depression, sleeplessness and anxiety. The outcome is a feeling of rejuvenation.

AYURVEDIC KANSA FOOT MASSAGE

This treatment is performed with a small 3 metal bowl. The metals used are copper, zinc and tin. This special metal alloy (Kansa) is known in Ayurveda (India's traditional holistic healing system) as the "healing metal". It is thought the copper may help in reducing pain and inflammation, zinc in aiding the digestive and immune systems while tin is believed to aid digestion as well as headaches and insomnia. Specific Marma points on the lower legs and feet are activated with the metal bowl using coconut oil. This holistic treatment is a wonderfully relaxing healthcare modality, which balances the mind, body and spirit.
