Sunflowers Massage offers a combination of techniques designed to meet your needs:

Massage strokes enhance circulation, promoting dispersion of nutrients, removal of metabolic wastes, and release of muscle tightness.

 

Shiatsu and acupressure are based on the same energy meridians that are the basis of acupuncture. Finger pressure is applied to points on the meridians to release congestion and allow energy to flow.

 

Massage, shiatsu and acupressure all assist you to reduce stress and relax. In addition, we can help you learn to relax with breathing, imagery, and stretching.

 

Other benefits of relaxation:

  • reducing pain; increasing efficacy of pain medication

  • decreasing anxiety

  • improving immune system function

  • facilitating sleep

  • decreasing the "fight or flight" sympathetic response

  • reducing muscle tension and increasing blood flow

  • offering opportunity for insight and creativity

Considerations in choosing massage:

Massage therapy, shiatsu and acupressure are not offered as a substitute for medical examination, diagnosis and treatment. Instead, the purpose is to maintain wellness and promote your body's own healing.

Please note that massage may be not be suitable for individuals with a history of blood clots or impaired circulation, especially in the lower extremities. Make sure to let your practitioner know if this applies to you.

It is important that you inform your practitioner of any injuries, illness or diseases. That way, your practitioner can make sure your massage is safe and therapeutic for you.
