Infant Massage

Why is massage so important for babies and young children?

Massage has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, reduce muscle tension and pain and increase feelings of well-being in adults – but is massage therapy just as effective for infants and children?

It turns out, it IS, and the benefits are pretty significant!

One of the most significant benefits for infants is improved sleep. Babies who received massage demonstrated improved sleep patterns, falling asleep more easily and staying asleep longer. They have also shown improved alertness and activity during the day resulting from the improvement in sleep.

Reduced stress behaviors have been noted in infants and young children who receive massage therapy, and studies have shown that cortisol levels were lower after receiving massage. Cortisol is a major hormone produced when we experience stress and causes inflammation throughout the body. Massage has previously been shown to reduce this stress hormone in adults, and has now been shown to reduce cortisol in children.

Infant massage has been shown to improve motor development, especially in premature infants and those who have developmental problems. Increased responsiveness was also noted.

Infant Massage Can:

1.  Enhance blood circulation
2.  Stimulate the nervous system
3.  Promote relaxation
4.  Decrease the production of stress hormones
5.  Relieve discomfort associated with: Colic, Gas, Congestion, and Teething

The benefits of massage on both infants and their parents are overwhelmingly positive, with research indicating that infant massage is increasingly recognized as a legitimate health care treatment.

Hot Stone Massage consists of traditional massage techniques with the incorporation of  therapeutic heat through warmed stones. The temperature aids in the healing process much like hot pads do. In addition each stroke with a massage stone is 10 times more effective than a traditional stroke. Basalt massage stones are used, as the minerals in basalt absorb and retain heat the longest of any type of massage stone. Hot Stone Massage is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat from the stones helps tight muscles release. This ancient practice has recently been revived, and is growing in popularity as a form of massage therapy across the world. 

How Hot Stones Work - There are two ways to use heated stones in a massage. The first way is to use them as stationary placement stones to warm the tissues. This brings the client's attention to the warmed body part, and has a calming effect on their mind. Tension is melted away with the liquid heat sensation from the warmed stones. The second way to use hot stones in massage is to massage the clients with them. The heat of the hot stones warms and relaxes the muscles very quickly and easily. This allows massage therapists to access deeper tissues in a shorter amount of time and with less effort than conventional massage therapy. Hot stones are unique in that they add grounding and balancing elements to your massage. Heated massage stones energize the practitioner, and relax the client at the same time. 

What is Basalt, and Why is it so Good for Hot Stone Massage? Basalt is a type of igneous rock that is formed from cooled molten lava. It is grey in color. Basalt is known for its superior heat retention characteristics. Mono-colored dark basalt stones are said to hold heat the longest. Basalt lava rocks come in various shades of grey, and quickly turn a beautiful dark lustrous black when wetted with water or massage oil.

Warm Bamboo Massage Therapy is done with a hollow organically-treated bamboo cane of different lengths and diameters, which is warmed.  The massage ensures circulation, sensory nerve perception and provides a deep sense of relaxation and serenity. 

Known for it's healing properties, this massage works at all levels to balance, calm and energize you physically, mentally and spiritually.  Stimulation of the tissue by the bamboo stick helps in getting relief by dissipating the heat that results from an accumulation of toxins and poor circulation.  The muscle is then kneaded, which assists in the release of tension and easing knots.   Bamboo massage therapy is also used as a powerful preventative therapy against modern-day stress and to aid relief from many physical and emotional problems.  Apart from relieving you of stress and tension, bamboo massage is also known to improve the texture of your skin.

Bamboo is considered to be one of the most multifaceted plants on earth and has earned it's reputation from it's holistic and soft appearance, as well as it's perseverance under harsh conditions.  Known to symbolize strength, fertility, youth and prosperity and peace in the Orient, this plant has become one of the most coveted beauty ingredients of recent times.

Heated Bamboo Massage is for anyone wanting a relaxing and luxurious spa massage or for anyone who needs some serious deep-tissue bodywork for overworked and injured muscles.  If you are looking for a rejuvenating massage treatment, there is nothing better than bamboo massage therapy.

Hot Towel Massage Therapy consists of using hot, moist towels, also known as hydro thermal therapy, can help tight muscles to relax, soothes irritated nerve endings and increases circulation.  Therapists can achieve more results during a limited treatment session period by applying hot, moist towels to one area of the patient's body while manually massaging other areas, then switching as needed.  Hot towels can be used in areas that would be unable to tolerate the pressure and friction common to manual massage, and the use of moist heat is recommended by the Arthritis Foundation to help relax muscles and increase circulation in areas made tender by that condition.

In addition to your Hot Towel Massage you can add on a Salt or Sugar Scrub Back/Feet Treatment, Terry's signature salt scrub contains the perfect blend of dead sea salts, sugars, selected oils and essential oils that exfoliate and cleanse without irritating the skin.  This treatment targets the back and/or feet, which is difficult to exfoliate by yourself. Your skin will feel soft and supple!

Dry Skin Brushing is a simple treatment that invigorates all major systems of the body including the lymph, circulatory, nervous and digestive, as well as, stimulates all the major organs.  This gentle form of massage encourages the skin to eliminate toxins by dramatically increasing blood flow to the surface.

Dry Skin Brushing exfoliates dead skin cells while reducing the appearance of cellulite, as well as, toning and tightening the skin leaving it wonderfully soft to the touch.  This amazing health and beauty routine has been practiced for years in Eastern Medicine and is used in world class spas, holistic healing centers and most recently cancer treatment clinics all over the globe.

This add on treatment is completed with a light relaxation massage of one's choice along with warmed natural organic oils/lotions. "Personal Dry Skin Brushes Are Complimentary"

Indian Head Champi is the ancient Indian practice of champi, also known as champissage. Indian head massage is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing. It is a combination of ancient techniques and modern awareness with a  focus on massaging areas close to the central nervous system including the scalp, neck, shoulders, arms and face, with aims of relieving tension, stimulating circulation and restoring joint movement. The process releases endorphins and shifts body energies by stimulating chakras. 

The goal is to clear blocks in these energy channels that cause a build-up of negative energy believed to cause ailments. Stress causes stiffness and tension in the neck, upper back and shoulders. Indian Head Champi helps relieve this tension via gentle manipulation of the muscle groups involved. As well as the physical stimulation, Indian Head Champi also has a profound calming effect on the mind, leaving the client with a feeling of inner focus and well-being.

Indian Face Massage is a form of facial rejuvenation. It gives a natural facelift through massage designed to be a gentle non-invasive approach to looking younger. The massage works primarily by freeing constrictions both within the facial muscles and in the connective tissue. Tension can build up within our facial muscles from the pressures of everyday life, without us realizing it. Certain thoughts and emotions become habitual, locking themselves into the expressions on our faces. Under such conditions muscles can actually dry up and contract, inhibiting freedom of expression, encouraging ageing and the formation of wrinkles, the face loses its muscle tone and elasticity and begins to sag. 

No expensive equipment or products are needed for this facial massage. The massage itself is performed by using repetitive movements across the face using the fingertips. Not only is it relaxing and calming but it also reduces lines, tightens the skin, increases skin elasticity, promotes blood flow to the face and leaves the recipient feeling contented. 

Aromatherapy  is a holistic hands-on therapy which promotes a physical, spiritual, emotional and mental sense of harmony. It is an entirely relaxing massage treatment that uses the essences from plants to help balance and unify the mind, body and spirit; which has proved to be highly successful in the alleviation and cure of many ailments. 

Aromatherapy works in two ways - the widely accepted benefits of massage and the inhalation of essential oils reduce stress and improve the general state of health and well-being. This is a comforting, reassuring and healing therapy.

Himalayan Salt Stone Massage relaxes as it balances the central nervous system.  It uses hand carved salt crystals from one of the most pristine environments in the world, salt caves deep below the Himalayan Mountains.  This therapeutic massage treatment combines a full head to toe blended therapeutic massage, including Swedish massage techniques, thermal therapy, salt therapy, reflexology, aromatherapy, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.  The salt stones are warmed in a beautiful "Green" Himalayan Salt Massage Stone Warmer and are used on strategic points and in specific combinations to balance the body's energy pathways and electromagnetic field.  The results produce a very deep relaxation, improved sleep and reduced inflammation in addition to mild detoxification and exfoliation.

The Himalayas are the world's most tranquil, serene, peaceful and undeveloped region; therefore the salt crystals mined from the foothills of the Himalayas are still pure and untouched by pollution.  Tremendous pressure and heat refines the structure of the salt crystals and makes them translucent.  When mining the salt at the Himalayas, use of dynamite is strictly prohibited to preserve the structure of the crystals.  Mining by hand is painstaking but essential.  All Himalayan salt stone massage salt is handpicked with care, keeping the valuable crystal structure intact.

  

Natural Hot Lava Shell Massage -  Lava shells are the world's first self-heating massage tool, each shell is completely 100% natural. They are genuine tiger clam shells found in villages in the Philippines. The tiger clams are collected for seafood and the shells were then discarded. 
Today the lava shells not only provide food but also jobs for the local industry on the island. The locals prepare the shell for use in massage by sand polishing them.  The end results produce beautiful shells for massage.

Natural ingredients such as marine algae, lavender, lava rock, lava gel, magnesium and iron are used in the patented self-heating technology where the natural minerals are activated by salt water and essential oils.  The shells stay hot for the length of the massage giving continuity to your treatment.

Who benefits from this massage?  Anyone who enjoys and needs deep relaxation, if you want sports therapy, or have aches and pains,
the warmth is beneficial if you have menstrual cramps, if you have digestive problems, anybody who feels the cold generally, if you are feeling depressed, anybody who is stressed, lethargic and run-down.

Self-Heating Hot Stone Massage Benefits - Stressed to Relaxed in 10 Minutes!  

Self-Heating Hot Stones use no electricity and heat naturally using all natural minerals activated by salt water.  Created from a blend of real seashells, black lava rock, and porcelain.  

Hot stone massage therapy is a popular treatment for promoting deeper muscle relaxation, improving circulation, managing stress, and allowing for better sleep. The premise behind hot stone massage is that the direct heat of the stones allows the therapist to penetrate deeper into muscle layers, release tension, ease sore muscles, and promote relaxation.

Self-heating hot stones, are used to employ a customized massage versus placement therapy, customary with traditional basalt hot stones.  The use of hot stones will offer enhanced benefits to both the client and therapist.  For clients that suffer from the ailments of fibromyalgia, arthritis, and carpal tunnel, hot stone therapy can be a useful treatment in decreasing pain and muscle spasms, curbing chronic stress and tension, and allowing for better mobility.

Therapists will also reap the benefits of hot stones. The heat will help make muscles pliable, ultimately allowing for deeper manipulation. The therapist is able to use the stone as an extension of their hand, giving their own hands and wrists a well needed rest.

Pre-treating muscles with self-heating hot stones is an ideal way to take you from stressed to relaxed in a matter of only minutes!

Ice Massage is the local application of ice to a portion of the body or face.  During ice massage, blood flow to the body part is decreased at first, but then increased.  Ice massage is an effective therapeutic massage procedure to help relieve acute or chronic pain, inflammation and post-surgical pain swelling.  Ice massage affects your body in numerous ways, including reducing blood flow to the area of injury, which reduces swelling.  Ice massage acts as an analgesic or pain-reliever by numbing tissues, reducing muscle spasms and slowing tissue metabolism.  Because ice massage helps reduce swelling, inflammation and pain, it's the preferred modality for acute musculoskeletal injuries, such as ligament sprains, muscle strains, joint subluxations and dislocations, bruises, fractures, and clients suffering from bursitis as well as an excellent treatment for headaches, and many other benefits.
Ice Facial, skin smoother, pore primer, improves circulation, relief for puffy eyes, wrinkle buster and blemish control.

ACE Massage Cupping is much like the inverse of massage, rather than applying pressure, it uses a gentle pressure to pull it upward.  This is a non-invasive treatment that uses suction/negative pressure.  The cups are usually glass or silicone and look like a bell.  When the cup is placed over the area being treated, suction is created causing the tissue to be stretched up into the cup.  Massage Cupping is incredibly versatile and the basic movements can be easily customized to accomplish a wide variety of massage techniques, from deep tissue to relaxing to lymphatic drainage.  Massage Cupping complements many health treatments including Chiropractic, Massage and Physical Therapy.

By creating suction/negative pressure, Massage Cupping is used to soften tight muscles, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to body tissue, move deep inflammation to the skin surface for release, and drain excess fluids and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways and sedates the nervous system.

Massage Cupping can help with:  Traumatic Injuries, Pain Reduction, Chronic Conditions, Detoxification, Orthopedic Conditions, Arthritis, Inflammation, Migraines, Headaches, Sinusitis, TMJ, Fibromyalgia, Cellulite, Scars and Stretch Marks, Facial Treatments, Body Shaping, General Relaxation and so much more.....
