Facilitate your body to proceed on its natural flow towards self-healing.

Chinese TuiNa massage, acupressure, and meridians activation are some of the techniques we use.

What we do is often put in the group of the so-called 'alternative therapies' , but we prefer to call it 'complementary therapy'  because it is suitable to be used alone or alongside any other kinds of treatment: Western medicine, homeopathy, psychotherapy...

After all, we believe that anyone should use any method he feels comfortable with in order to pursue health.

  The only alternative we look for is an alternative to pain and suffering.
  If we can help you to get closer to that, then we are walking on the right path. 

We work mainly on the 3 different groups of energetic paths in our body：12 meridians，12 muscular regions, 12 cutaneous regions, and combine different levels of pressure (deeper/softer)and techniques (pressing, strokes,passive movements) according to the nature of each of them.

We also put a lot of attention on scalp massage and stimulation, for the deep influence that scalp acupoints have on the whole body system.

This massage restores the body’s energetic flow and balance, it improves muscle/tendons injuries and stiff articulations, and re-balances the nervous system reducing stress-related conditions.

 Applying pressure on specific areas of our body and stimulating points along the meridians of our body the massage interacts with the whole body system in several ways: it has a physical mechanical action, a reflex action and it gives an energy impulse  .

The mechanical action is created by moving the muscles and soft tissues of the body using pressure and stretching movement, thereby cleansing them of toxins and dissolving tensions of the fibrous tissue to loosen up stiff joints and articulation.

Reflex action: some cutaneous areas have correspondence - energetic and neurological- with internal organs and specific part of the body;feet are well known for this.but there are reflexive zones in other parts of the body too.

Energy impulse: a touch,from anyone, is always a transmission of energy;working with Chinese Meridians, thou, facilitate the influence that we have on this flow.

Activation of meridians is done mostly pressing specific acupoints; this helps to promote circulation of blood and energy relaxing  muscles, tendons and  the deepest layers of soft tissues and fascia as well.

The energetic aspect of the massage influence also glands and lymphatic systems regulating our inner bio-chemistry therefore regulating emotions as well.

      Our massage is not only indicated in case of injuries, contractions, strains  and in general to improve pain syndromes in articulations/muscles  but it is also effective in mitigating emotional dysfunctions or tensions due to stress and  anxiety.

We work mainly with :

• chronic and acute pain syndromes;

• chronic/ acute back pain;

• neck & shoulders pain;

• long term pain syndromes in joints and articulations;

and also:

• mental fatigue;

• stress-related issues;

• nervous system exhaustion;

• burn-out syndrome and recovery;
  

  Working with Chinese meridians and acupoints  means working on those 'lines' that bring vital energy (a sort of bio-electricity) to each part of the body and organs ; due to injuries or stress those'lines' can be obstructed, affecting the flow of energy within and therefore influencing the muscle/organ/body part related. TCM massage’s ultimate target is to restore the energetic balance and promote a better flowing of vital energy. In order to do that we work on specific points along the meridians.

A poor flow of blood and energy affect the functions of our metabolism : this can happen as a consequence of several factors either physical - overwork/over-relax, injuries and traumas -  and emotional - i.e. as result of prolonged  state of anxiety, stress, depression which turns into a condition that becomes and obstacle to our body-mind equilibrium.
The more our body & our being are balanced, the better our vital functions are performed,thus our whole being can move naturally closer towards healing.

Our goal is to support and facilitate the process of rebalancing.

This therapy helps to maintain health and support the process of recovering after an injury or from strong debilitating illness or medication-inducted weakness.

Very positive results are also achieved against burn-out syndromes or in case of severely depressed conditions: unblock emotional stagnation , restore a steady nervous system and get calm and tranquility .
