Massages are not just an indulgence, but a need where our bodies relax and bring harmony to both our body and our spirit. Though Harmony’s professional practice of Tuina began in 2016, Tuina actually dates back to 2600 BC. Through Tuina, we’re bringing health and wellness to our clients most in need of harmony in their lives.
Originating in China and dating as far back as 2600 BC, Tuina is the oldest form of massage therapy in the world. Tuina massage is an ancient form of massage that focuses on balancing a person’s energy. Practitioners use various techniques, including kneading, pressing, rolling, and stretching. The massage aims to balance the flow of qi through a person, which proponents claim encourages natural self-healing within the body, by revitalizing depleted energy systems. Our Tuina massages are available at 60, 90, or 120 minutes. The Tuina massage treatments are available to couples, and could also be expanded to four hands. Additionally, there are some other therapies that could be included in your massage treatment. They include Ashiatsu, Hot Stone, Deep Tissue, and Aromatherapy.
If your busy schedule leaves you short on time, there Is still an outstanding option comprising of a Tuina massage that is shortened to 30 minutes. The massage focuses on the head, neck, and shoulders for 30 minutes of pure bliss. Some clients will even schedule a full body Tuina massage with a 30 minute head, neck, and shoulders added on. Now that’s nirvana.
Ashistsu is a massage technique that involves the application of the practitioner’s feet, rather than the hands or arms. During an Ashiatsu massage, therapists use their bare feet to deliver deep compression, long gliding strokes, and/or assisted stretching. Reading that, you might feel apprehensive about receiving an Ashiatsu treatment. You may wonder if having your back walked on will be intense, painful, or even scary. Don’t worry, though! Ashiatsu therapists have full control over how your body is treated, and the massage is tailored to your needs. This type of massage treatment, which has been around for centuries, has been said to be the deepest, most luxurious massage on the planet. It’s often called a barefoot massage. Our therapists’ methods allow the deep tissues, joints, and muscles to be massaged while easing the nervous system. This technique feels like a mesmerizing massage with deep, broad, pressured strokes and no pain.
If you're seeking relief or relaxation, hot stone therapy is an especially therapeutic type of massage that has become increasingly popular. Hot stone massage incorporates hot stones into traditional massage techniques. Hot stone massage is a type of massage where the massage therapist places smooth hot stones on your back. These stones provide heat therapy to the muscles, which can help reduce tension and pain. The stones used in hot stone massage are typically basalt, volcanic rock that is usually high in iron, which allows them to absorb heat. If you haven’t had hot stone before, consider adding this incredible add-on to your Tuina massage.
Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that's mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. After a deep tissue massage you can expect to feel a little tender in the area that has been worked. Most clients find that the biggest after effects of a deep tissue massage are sleepiness and thirst!
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils for therapeutic benefit. Aromatherapy has been used for centuries. When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain and especially impact the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain. In genteral, it seems to relieve pain, improve mood, and promote a sense of relaxation.
