Benefits

Some of the benefits of Pregnancy Massage are increased circulation, relief of lower back pain, decreases edema of the hands and feet, insomnia, as well as painful and prolonged deliveries.

Massage for the pregnant, laboring or new mother is a nurturing gift that she can give herself and her baby.

TOUCH FOR HEALTH combines Traditional Chinese medicine with the modern Western approach.  We test designated muscles to indicate if there is a blockage or constriction of energy flow to a meridian.  Meridians are located throughout the body.  They contain a free-flowing colorless, noncellular liquid, which may be partly actuated by the heart. Meridians are named by the life function of the gross organ, which they seem to associate. However, we cannot say that a weak muscle means a weak or damaged organ we can only note blockage of energy.

When an environmental factor or food stresses the body chemistry, specific muscles will weaken. Structural and emotional stressors will have the same effect. With this application of kinesiology, we restore the energy flow with the reflexes of different systems. These reflexes act like electrical switches in turning on or off the energies to the muscle. This modality not only discovers where person's energy is blocked, but also empowers him/her by explaining how they can help themselves to ensure their health. Its emphasis will always be education in self - awareness and responsibility.

Touch for Health is administered fully clothed sitting, standing, or lying down. Muscle testing is a cooperative venture and requires active participation. A session may last from an hour to an hour and a half.

AROMATHERAPY draws on the healing power of plants by using the plants essential oils.

Three methods to encourage essential oils to enter the body are: Inhalation, application and baths.

When inhaled, they enter the body via the olfactory system (sense of smell), when diluted and applied externally essential oil molecules permeate the skin. They relieve stress and stimulate sluggish circulation and can boost the immune system.

PROFFESSIONAL KINESIOLOGLY practitioner does not treat disease or "conditions". In PKP we are not 'treating' anything. We are working in another dimension- working with subtle body energies that are not part of the medical model. We do not work with sickness, illness, disease or any named malady. Our interest is better HEALTH: how to obtain and maintain it by becoming more aware of our being and its special needs. It is balancing the body's energies to restore harmony.

Kinesiology is the science of energy balancing and is grounded in the study of anatomy and physiology. Kinesiology uses muscles as monitors of stress and imbalance within the body. It enables people to detect and correct various imbalances that may relate to stress: nutrition, learning problems, minor injuries and other issues they meet in their daily life.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE: Myofascial restrictions is a pressure that act like a "straightjacket” on

muscles, nerves, blood vessels and osseous structures producing the symptoms of pain, headaches, and restrictions of motion and disease. Through John Barns' (president & founder of the Myofascial Release Treatment Centers & Seminars) personal experience with his patients, found that the fascial system was full of life, memories, emotions and consciousness.

Science has now discovered that symptoms, diagnostic labels and diseases are a blockage of our bio-energy caused by prolonged inflammatory response. Trauma and the resultant inflammation response create myofascial restrictions that ultimately create the symptoms of pain and disease processes.

"The results of the inflammatory responses that have outlived their usefulness are labeled: chronic pain, headaches, restriction of motion, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, arthritis, asthma, bowel and menstrual disorders and the list goes on and on. There is no such thing as disease."

Myofascial Release allows the chronic inflammatory response to resolve and eradicates the enormous pressure exerted on pain sensitive structures by myofascial restrictions to alleviate symptoms and to allow the body's natural healing capacity to function properly.
