Ashiatsu Asian Bar Massage (90 minutes)
..... $90
Oriental Bar Massage or Barefoot Massage (“Ashi” meaning
foot, “Atsu” meaning pressure) is an ancient form of body
work that started with Buddhist Monks, first from China and then from
Thailand and Japan. When visiting China Body Kneads owner Tracy
Minninger-Moyer had the opportunity to visit a working Monastery and
several Spa Resorts where she was able to experience the Barefoot Bar
Massage. “Now people in this area can enjoy the same benefits of
this wonderful massage”. Bar Therapy is a well documented
effective technique for the treatment of lower back and neck pain, and
is recognized by the American Medical Association. The foot is bigger
and can cover more tissue. Thus stimulating a larger area at one time
and increasing circulation in a larger area. The pressure is more even
than that applied with the hands and can be held for an extended period
of time. Most stretches done by the feet cannot be duplicated by the
hands. The Technique is administered while the client lays comfortably
on a treatment table with bars over head that the therapist use for
balance. Pressure can be as light as a Swedish Massage or as deep as
the deepest massage. The front side of the body consists of acupressure
and stretching.
Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage (75 minutes)
..... $75
The word Lomi Lomi simply means massage. It works gently yet deeply
into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, totally nurturing
the body and, enabling the recipient to relax, give in and simply be.
The massage is given in fluid, rhythmic motion using the forearms as
well as the hands. Another feature is that different parts of the body
may be massaged at the same time, for example one arm or hand may be
working on a shoulder and the other hand may be working on the opposite
hip. This assists the recipient in totally relaxing as it is impossible
or at least extremely difficult for the brain to focus on the two
different areas at once. Some people have described this as feeling
like gentle waves moving over the body. By not working on areas in
isolation a deep sense of balance and harmony is achieved. The priority
is loving the body, using intuition so the massage is "right" for the
client. The client on the table is not viewed as someone to be fixed,
but a being to be returned to harmony and balance. Under body and full
body strokes also help to free the energy, make the body soft,
promoting free and abundant flow of life energy in the recipient.
According to Huna philosophy, energy also gets blocked in the joints.
Gentle stretches of the body and gentle rotations of the joints are
therefore also incorporated to assist the release of tensions and
assist the flow of energy, once again not forcing, but feeling the
level of the clients resistance or comfort. The masseuse may also hum
at various points during the Lomi Lomi as the vibrating and amplified
energy that results also aids the release of blockages. Dance work or
hula movements, combined with the breath work of the practitioner are
also important and integral aspects of Lomi Lomi. The reason for the
hula type dance around the table whilst massaging is not just because
it looks cute! The movements are all important to assisting the energy
flow both within the practitioner and recipient and helps keep the
energy at a high level. This combined with breathing techniques by the
masseuse are also important in assisting the energy flow. The sharing
of the breath, the essence of the Creator or universal energy, whatever
name you like to give it, is an old Hawaiian custom and greatly
enhances the energy flow once again. Another major difference from
other massage is that the person lays directly on the vinyl of the
table and not on a towel and rather than being covered completely by
towels, is covered by a small sheet or towel leaving most of the body
exposed during the massage, whilst maintaining the recipients modesty.
This makes it a lot easier to perform the underbody and full body
strokes without interrupting the flow of the massage.
