Oriental (TCM) Remedial Massage Therapy

What is Oriental (TCM) Remedial Massage?

Oriental Therapy evolved from a 5000 years old tradition of healing arts.

Oriental Therapy utilises a combination of pressure and assisted-stretching techniques, some of which are common to other therapies, such as Massage, Physiotherapy, Acupressure, Osteopathy, Lymphatic Drainage, Do-in and others.

The treatment stimulates the circulation and the flow of lymphatic fluid, releases toxins and deep seated tensions from the muscles, stimulates the hormonal system and the immune system, and acts on the autonomic nervous system, allowing the recipient to relax deeply and to get in touch with own healing power.
