Breast Massage

Many woman are uncomfortable with the idea of breast massage, yet it can be highly effective in treating a number of conditions affecting breast tissue, and chest and torso muscles:

 Congestion, swelling and discomforts associated with pregnancy, breastfeeding and weaning, PMS symptoms, and lymphatic disorders; treatment of scarring and tissue changes associated with trauma, surgery and cancer treatment; the introduction of safe touch; it is part of a complete chest and torso massage; and, regularly done, it provides monitoring of breast tissue.

Overcoming personal discomfort with your own breasts can have multiple benefits to your physical health; and many of the techniques used can be done while the breast tissue is still covered. The safe environment provided by a massage therapist familiar with the techniques will make your first experience with breast massage a pleasant one.

Shiatsu for Neck and Shoulder Issues

Shiatsu is Japanese massage based on Chinese Medical Theory.  The body is viewed asn two ways – physically and energetically.

Shiatsu is an effective treatment for neck and shoulder issues because it addresses both the physical symptoms of knots, tightness and pain as well as the inherent energetic imbalance.  Pressure is applied and held along the meridian lines (body’s energetic pathways); physically this stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system thereby signalling the body to relax while energetically the energy flow is re-balanced between areas of excess and deficiency.  Shiatsu leaves you feeling rejuvenated on a deeper level.
