Since pain is considered a lack of free flow of Qi (energy), Chinese Massage treatment creates movement and is therefore seen as a powerful treatment for pain relief. Traditional Chinese Massage promotes relaxation which in turn eases spasms, increases flexibility and straightens the joints. It works with a combination of acupoint stimulation, soft tissue manipulation, joint alignment and energy regulation to restore balance and harmony of the body (yin and yang). Traditional Chinese Massage is the manual aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditional Chinese Massage:. The deep tissue massage movements are slower and the pressure deeper and is concentrated on the areas of tension and pain. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness and sore shoulders. The process of the massage restructures the muscular system by actually moving the deep tissue to re-position muscles, tendons and ligaments which may have become bunched and shortened. Deep Tissue Therapy is a technique that realigns the body segments and releases chronic tension and muscular stress using connective tissue manipulation of the neck, back, chest and legs. Deep Tissue Therapy:. The scenar device precisely and simultaneously locates, measures and treats problem areas to help relieve pain and restore normal function. Scenar Therapy is different from other therapeutic stimulation because the scenar device interacts with the body through the skin. The Scenar is a hand-held therapeutic medical device used to treat pain and physiological dysfunction. Scenar Therapy: SCENAR was initially developed by doctors and scientists within the Russian space program in the late 1970s to cope with the unique problems of space travel. This technique is designed to put the body into a balanced state where all movement is in harmony with the rest of the body. SLM is based on the theory that for every tension point or blockage in the body there is a balancing tension point or blockage elsewhere which also needs to be released. This combination puts length and function back into the muscles and balances the body, allowing it to function normally. SLM is the manipulation of soft tissue using a unique combination of acupressure and massage techniques. SLM (Steve Lockhart Myotherapy):.

Panabaa Release is very effective in treating a very large range of problems. It picks up the restrictions between vertebrae that are incorrectly aligned and allows the whole of the spine to be treated. Panabaa Release works by releasing the restrictions in the muscles and tissues surrounding the joints, but in particular along the spinal column. It is a system of techniques and positions that focuses on correcting musculoskeletal problems, allowing the body's posture to be placed in its neutral position. Panabaa Release: Panabaa Release was developed in Australia by Gordon Tyack and is a new therapeutic technique for non-invasive treatment of the spine.
