Digital & Energetical Acupressure
Acupressure is defined as an ancient healing art believed to be over 5,000 years old that engages the body's energy system, by way of providing it with stimulation in numerous forms of surface pressure. These techniques may be performed either on a single point or in a combination of associated points, selected from those shown on the two adjacent charts. And unlike Acupuncture, it does not ever require the insertion of needles. Archeological discoveries have revealed that our fingers, also known as The Five Digits, were initially used alone to apply pressure and with time, flat stones and pearls were added, as the first objects thought to strengthen Acupressure results. In modern times, our fingers can never be replaced as the primary tool for initial contact and palpation for sensitivity or therapy, with choices of adding man-made tools that are generally made from wood, bamboo, plastic, alloys or gemstones. However, now there are also other significant devices, as the implement displayed here that can offer energetical acupressure, an impressive alternative for the treatment of numerous neuromuscular and longstanding musculoskeletal ailments. Highly recommended for people who regularly perform tremendous feats of physical endurance and mental exertion, it's relied upon as a device that performs efficiently without the need to remove clothing and be safely used with advantageous pain-relieving compounds or acclaimed herbs such as Moxibustion. Debilitating cramping or spasms, stress, anxiety and multiple dysfunctions of hips, legs and feet, as well as the head, neck, shoulders and back are examples of the conditions that may be quickly alleviated. This innovative tool works with pinpoint accuracy by sending energetical pulsations that are comparable to those of a Tens Unit - directly to affected areas to relinquish discomfort and rejuvenate both body and mind.
Esalen Inspired Massage & Bodywork
These distinctive techniques use elongated, slow, rhythmic strokes from the fingertips, thumbs, knuckles and palms that can change directions and add shaking or pauses that amplify endorphins and accentuate neuro-muscular relaxation throughout the entire body. Known for being the incomparable, therapeutic and ultra soothing treatment style that originated from the 1960's in Big Sur, California, this generates waves of immense comfort. It can be employed alone or also merged with Cupping, Stones, Scrubs and Rehabilitative Physiotherapy. The benefits are so far-reaching that results tend to be perfect for all ages and every level of pressure, with several options for incorporating passive or assisted movement, and dynamic or static stretches that truly follow the needs of the body on the table, rather than those imposed by a set routine.
Orthopedic Cupping
Cupping Therapy is a very renowned practice that's usually thought to have begun in China. However, the earliest pictographic records theorize that it was in actuality, the Egyptians who invented this protocol around 1,500 BC. The very first cups were cleverly innovated from assorted formations of animal horns. Eventually they were replaced over the millennia by glass cups with flames placed deeply inside of them, then blown out quickly for a suctioning effect to be placed immediately on the area intended for treatment, to increase its circulation. The modernized cupping system closest to that ideal is shown with multiple stationary cups on the back, at http://reginarichardson.com and uses medical grade plastic cups with air pumps for suctioning. This is indeed an example of a classical approach with new and improved methodology that eliminates the safety risks presented by fire. The pumps lift up compromised tissue and constrained fascia to effectively eliminate the deepest pain syndromes and promote cellular repair.
Secondly, the handheld black Silicon Cup displayed here is another example of ancient therapy for modern times, with its varying forms of suction capabilities and unique applications for advanced physiotherapy routines. These cups were fabricated to function simultaneously with specific exercises, stretches and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation that can boost one's lean muscle mass, dramatically increase mobility and rehabilitate the abdomen, back, arms and legs.
And finally, the electronically engineered cup that is most prominently pictured above, represents the absolutely newest model in the technological advances of cupping. This is a cupping system that provides heat, massage, red light therapy and dramatic suction choices that reduce muscle tension, knots, pain and the appearance of cellulite, as well as scar tissue in targeted areas. This approach to cupping, rapidly promotes circulation, drawing toxins to the skin, relieving the body of inflammation and can also be applied to both stationery and gliding protocols.
Tui Na & Magnetic Therapy
This Chinese modality was described in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine around 100 BC and ever since then, has often been christened The World's First Official Deep Tissue Massage. The term Tui Na, directly translates into the two English words of PUSH and PULL, thus referring to the physicality of extremely penetrating techniques that diminish chronic tension and acute pain within various layers of the body. This technique goes well beyond the contemporary approaches of merely deploying massive amounts of pressure primarily to the surface area of connective tissues and their related muscles of the back, legs, torso, arms, neck and shoulders. Instead, Tui Na's therapeutic strategies also surround these areas and go underneath them, to methodically unravel the impacted fascial adhesions from greater vantage points. With the enhancement of assorted magnets, some being 24k gold plated or the highest gauss rated, a person may take advantage of these state-of-the-art methods, to go farther to promote their relief with fortified joint stability or an increase in their range of motion with easier synovial joint movements.
Yin & Yang Stone Therapy
Yin & Yang Stones embody soothing and beneficial forms of temperature induced muscular, vascular, energetic, lymphatic and somatic bodywork. As displayed here, the white chilled Yin Stones are traditionally marble, and the black heated Yang Stones are traditionally basalt. Their abundant, transformative powers can be exerted together or separately, when applied with various techniques to your acu points, trigger points, muscles, connective tissues, joints and spinal cord. Famously branded to decrease swelling, increase circulation, abate pain and promote deep relaxation, their earliest existence was found to be over some 4,500 years ago. Moreover, despite this passage of time, utilizing their contrastive temperatures with varying weights, sizes, shapes and gliding or positioning them into stationary positions, is still honored today with even more enthusiasm than ever before.
Reiki & Gemstone Remedies
The word Reiki contains two Japanese words: REI for God's Wisdom or the Higher Power, and KI for Life Force Energy. This practice was methodically developed by Mikao Usui in the 1920's to cultivate self-regeneration that is innately from within.
A compelling therapy that balances the specific physical, emotional and psychological energetic vortexes located along the midline of the body. It sensitively lifts blockages that can restore a vigorous life force, stimulate the body's natural self-healing mechanisms, establish a healthier consciousness and provide profound states of rest and relaxation.
This bodywork is performed while clothed and makes use of a unique "laying on of hands" arrangement, with the therapist's hands held directly above each of the seven vortexes, called The Chakras. Semi-precious Gemstones may be readily implemented to provide for a more immersive experience.
Reflexology
Reflexology is one of the oldest systems of vitality healing, dating back to 2,500 BC. It focuses on applying pressure and special elixirs to distinct areas of the hands and the feet. Unlike most other therapeutical approaches that tend to primarily affect only the body part that is actually being touched, this multimodality is by far, much more encompassing. The governing principles are based upon demonstrated evidence that every single component of our health, corresponds to an associated response that is precisely located on the hands and feet. Proclaimed by the Ancient Egyptians, the innovators of these treatments, that their reflex point positions are above reproach in promoting well-being... it has been historically revealed to be quite a health-giving and revitalizing choice - especially for any individual who finds sleep to be elusive, is recovering from medical procedures, has grown weary, overwhelmed or despondent.

Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a huge component of holistic healing and a powerful contributor to ancient science. It only uses natural oils extracted from flowers, barks, stems, leaves, roots and other parts of plants to encourage, as well as maintain one's recovery, and elevate their well-being. These oils can be inhaled by the olfactory senses in the nose with diffusers, candles, sprays and sachets or be absorbed directly through the skin with massage lubricants and carriers such as Herbal Balls, where they can rapidly travel throughout the body, to promote localized and full body rejuvenation. There is solid evidence of their daily usage worldwide 10,000 years ago and still today, for countless applications such as improved sleep, respiratory support, nausea relief, immunity enhancement, cognitive stimulation, mood elevation, detoxification, pain management and stress reduction. Each essential oil makes its own unique fragrant impact the moment they are personally experienced and can be utilized individually or in a synergistic formula.
Dry Brushing & Anti-Aging Scrubs
Dry Brushing and Anti-Aging Scrubs have long been put to use by nearly every historical civilization, including those belonging to Scandinavians, Turks, Russians, East Indians, Egyptians, Iranians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Japanese and Native Americans. Evidence from over 4,000 years ago include the use of pumice stones, raw silk gloves, dried silk squash, curved metal blades, dried corn cobs and crushed seashells - frequently combined with mixtures of oils, sour milk and honey. But nowadays, one can take full advantage of superior exfoliation, toning and nourishment of their skin with new techniques, the best in Ayurvedic brushes and longevity minded formulas of Himalayan Salt, Honey, Rose, Fruit Peels, Coconut Sugar, Neem, Fruit Butters, Neroli Flowers, Seed Oils and more.
Kansa Face, Neck and Décolletage Therapy
The Kansa Wand is a highly impactful example of old-world handiwork, made from wood and an alloy of copper and tin, renowned for its detoxification benefits. This carefully crafted tool is designed to help invigorate skin on all areas of the face, neck and décolletage or upper chest, while leaving its recipients feeling centered and at peace. Such copper-based instruments have always been celebrated in India's rich heritage of Ayurvedic Medicine for their fortifying properties. With today's ability to have superbly manufactured this wand, it can very well improve upon the recovery of these ailments more than ever. Combined with precise massage methods, traditional rejuvenating oils and herbs that can be aligned with dosha balancing, it can stimulate lymphatic drainage to alleviate puffiness and assist in restoring a vivacity that reinforces elasticity. These beneficial, firming effects date back to the 5,000-year origins of Ayurveda, one of the world's oldest holistic traditions.
Traditional Zen Shiatsu
The Japanese bodywork known as Zen Shiatsu, is part of a system of health care that has evolved over the course of thousands of years and still strives toward connecting the Mind, with the Body and Spirit. Practiced informally since 2500 BC, it is derived from the ancient healing art of pressing upon Chinese Acupoints and applying the traditional techniques of a Japanese massage called Amma. This form of Shiatsu is distinctive, as it has achieved the ability to initiate a meditative state of mind, while fine-tuning bodily functions. Using a broader sense of energetic stimulation than other forms of Shiatsu, it traditionally incorporates stretches with guided imagery and may be performed either on a treatment table or floor mat, with the choice of having the therapist's hands, knees and/or feet upon you.
Emotional Release & Remedial Hypnosis
Negative emotions caused by misfortune and/or recurring phobias for no apparent reason, have been experienced and stored with overwhelming feelings and terrifying imagery by the mind and body since the beginning of time. The normal functions of organs, nerves, muscles, bones and glands can become blocked by memories of trauma, fears, grief and/or paralyzing anxiety that can strike due to ill-conceived ideas of oneself. To relieve and expel this these types of intrapersonal damage, ancient cultures developed practices like shamanism, with their exorcistic rituals involving drumming, trances and chanting of incantations, as well as medicine man rituals that included formulas of herbs and aromatherapy to recover the body's balance. Presently the holistic approaches of Emotional Release also known as Somatic Experiencing, are very successful in seeking out and releasing stored negativity that has been held within energy centers... through specialized and patented therapeutic touch, combined with auditory and visual cues to assist in safely re-experiencing the triggering events - emotional release identifies destructive recollections or pessimistic thought patterns and feelings to discharge them from the one's body.
Additionally, the holistic applications of Remedial Hypnosis to focus one's unconscious mind towards resolving undesirable habits, uncontrollable behavioral and negative emotional issues without the use of traditional trances have also demonstrated favorable outcomes.... unlike standardized presentations of hypnotherapy, that often rely upon a deep sleep state - remedial hypnosis engages someone while they're awakened and interactive in the therapeutic process, leaving them with ample insight, relief and inspiration for positive growth towards a new chapter in physical, mental and emotional wellness.
Pregnancy Massage
And last but not least, Pregnancy Massage also known as Pre-natal Massage, is the first medically, necessitated massage therapy on the planet. Since the dawn of civilization, it has been performed as the critical restorative session - aligned with a pregnant female's reaction to the stressors and strain created by dramatic physical, mental and emotional changes. In our modern times, this massage takes advantage of a variety of proficiently proven techniques that have been developed and tested over the span of thousands of years. They are aimed at relieving pain, discomfort and distress experienced throughout the entire gestation period, of nine months. The benefits seen today, are profoundly effectual and incorporate the support and alleviation of low back pain, joint compression due to extra weight, postural imbalance, compromised breathing, digestive challenges, high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, induced diabetes, insomnia, swollen feet and more.
