Acupressure
Acupressure is an ancient healing art that helps the body cure itself. Rimma uses her fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood. Acupressure helps relieve headaches, eyestrain, sinus problems, neck pain, backaches, arthritis, muscle aches, and tension due to stress.
Hot Stone Massage
In a hot stone massage, Rimma uses smooth river rocks and essential oils to relax muscles, which allows her to apply deeper pressure, if desired. The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes. Swedish massage helps to reduce joint stiffness and release toxins from the blood. It is helpful in individuals with poor circulation. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management.
Neuromuscular Massage
Neuromuscular therapy consists of alternating levels of concentrated pressure on areas of muscle spasm. Pressure is usually applied for ten to thirty seconds with the fingers, knuckles, or elbow. This is very effective against lower back pain, including pain caused by injury and strain.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese healing method. In Shiatsu, pressure and stretching is used (rather than kneading or friction). Rimma uses palms, fingers, thumbs, knuckles, elbows, knees and the feet, to work on the body’s acupuncture points, along the body’s energy channels. It helps to balance energy flow and strengthen the vital organs. Shiatsu treatments help many conditions: respiratory and digestive problems, head and muscle aches.
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of the childbirth experience. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue.
Sports Massage
Massage can provide an extra edge to athletes in high performance sports. Caring for the muscular wear-and-tear and minor injuries that occur with strenuous movement is crucial to maintaining top conditioning. The psychological benefits of massage can also be extremely valuable in competition. Anyone who routinely exercises hard can benefit from a massage. Massage helps you recover faster from strenuous workouts, and relieves conditions which may cause injury.
Thai Massage
Thai massage is also called Thai yoga massage, because Rimma uses her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Thai massage is both relaxing and energizing. Thai massage is believed to have been developed by the physician to Buddha, more than 2,500 years ago in India. Its techniques and principles were also influenced by traditional Chinese medicine.
Chair Massage
Chair massage is expecially good for those suffering from aches and pains that come from sitting behind a desk all day. Most office-related physical symptoms can be attributed to loss of circulation. Sitting in a massage chair opens up the back muscles and relieves strain on the neck and eyes. Even 15 minutes of massage to the neck, back, arms and hands can increase circulation, returning energy levels and helping keep the body injury free.
