BALANCING THE BODY’S ENERGY

Medina Massotherapy is rooted in complementary and alternative medicine. It incorporates therapeutic techniques to create a unique massage for each individual based on his or her needs, while also treating the whole individual – body, mind and spirit. With reference to your body’s needs we can help you create a healthier diet, recommend polarity exercises, yoga postures and relaxation techniques.

 

THERAPEUTIC TECHNIQUES


POLARITY THERAPY

Polarity Therapy is based on Ayurvedic principles and theories. It is a dynamic balancing of life energy, which enhances the quality of health and well-being. Energy fields and currents exist everywhere in nature. Polarity Therapy asserts that the flow and balance of energy in the human body is the foundation of good health. Through a series of pressure and reflex points, various types of rocking and manipulations, exercises and sound nutrition, Polarity develops a system of balance through the mind and body connection.

ELEMENTAL REFLEXOLOGY

There are “reflex” areas on the feet and hands that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the body. Reflexology is a complementary therapy, which works well on the feet to help heal the whole person, not just the prevailing symptoms.

Elemental Reflexology integrates the ancient art of Ayurvedic reflexology with the modern energetic principles of Polarity and is based on the concept of the interrelationship of the five elements: ether, air, fire, water and earth.

TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

One of the most effective treatments used for the relief of pain, is based almost entirely on Dr. Travell’s (a pioneer and guiding light in the study and understanding of the contribution of muscle trigger points to acute and chronic pain) insights. Myofascial trigger points are tiny contraction knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overwhelmed. We use the acupressure points in the belly of the muscle to create a release in the muscle group.

PRE-NATAL MASSAGE

During Pre-natal massage, a woman needs special care. Body cushions placed on the massage table will provide gentle relaxation for your entire body. The cushions are designed specifically for the various stages of pregnancy. A pre-natal massage can help reduce stress, decrease swelling in arms and legs and relieve muscle and joint pain.

AROMATHERAPY

Medina Massotherapy uses the purest essential oils from Young Living to deliver positive benefits for the body through smell, direct absorption into the skin and through our own digestive processes. Young Living oils are available for purchase at Medina Massotherapy.

Emotions have a negative and positive polarity. We need to access both polarities of all our emotions to be fully alive. Avoiding situations that could cause emotional pain limits our life experiences. The organic essential oils may help release our emotional and physical patterns gently.
