Massage therapy: Massage therapy involves the manipulation of soft tissues of the body like the muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage therapy is, however, a clinically-oriented healthcare option, which aims to alleviate the discomfort associated with day-to-day and occupational stress, chronic pain conditions and over-use of the muscles.
At RelaxZone our experienced RMTs perform various massage therapies like hot stone massage, Lymphatic drainage, prenatal massage, foot reflexology and so on.
Hot Stone Massage: It involves the use of smooth, heated stones, which are placed on specific body points. The heat and weight of the stones are placed on dedicated areas to relax the muscles, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure to the affected areas without causing discomfort.
Swedish Massage: The most popular form of massage therapy, where the more mild, moderate or deeper strokes on the back, arms, legs, neck and other body parts are given to focus on tissues and muscles for maximal pain relief, stress release and relaxation.
Prenatal Massage: Prenatal Massage is the massage therapy provided during pregnancy to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. This is to relieve pregnant woman of discomforts like backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema or swelling. The therapist may use soft cushions for support during sideline positioning to alleviate the extra strain on the lower back and pelvic areas when the pressure of massage techniques are applied. Depending on the stage of your pregnancy, the massage therapist may also suggest reflexology or Swedish massage as part of your massage therapies.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage: Lymphatic Drainage Massage is the massage that gently assists the lymphatic system in maintaining the body’s fluid balance, blood circulation, and immune mechanisms. The body system’s vessels and nodes contain lymph, a mixture of water, proteins, immune system components, waste products, and other remnants of cell metabolism. Large groups of lymph nodes are found throughout the body especially in the neck, armpits, and groin. The lymph nodes ensure lymph passes through as many nodes as possible before it returns to the circulatory system. The massage therapist uses a series of gliding, compressing, stretching, and cupping motions over the client’s body. The rhythmic movements that are light and gentle applied with oil massage stimulate the lymphatic system without compressing the vessels and allows lymph to move easily through the tissues and lymph nodes.
Shiatsu Massage: Shiatsu massage is applied with the help of fingers, thumbs and palm to apply pressure to various areas of the body’s surface. It helps to heal common ailments and conditions, and correct imbalances in the body. It helps to promote energy flow and corrects disharmonies throughout the client’s body. Shiatsu massage is useful in treating poor posture, joint problems, sprains, arthritis, sciatica, acute and chronic neck and back pain, sinusitis, and bronchitis.
Acupuncture: Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese Medicine that involves inserting very fine hair thin needles at specific points through a person’s skin to various depths. It is based on the belief that life energy or ‘qi’ flows through various energy channels. These energy channels are called meridians wherein lies 1000 acupuncture points. Health problems start to occur when there is any form of blockage or stagnancy in the flow of life energy through the meridians. The meridians are linked to different body organs and when there is an energy blockage, it affects the energy flow to the organs. The organs again are associated with different human emotions. One such example is that the organ liver is associated with the human emotion, anger. Any form of energy blockage to the liver can result in anger issues in a person.
The Acupuncture therapists at RelaxZone will give you a questionnaire and ask you a set of questions to understand your case in detail. Following this first assessment, they start the acupuncture sessions. This session can last from 15 minutes to an hour. You might be asked to come for several visits to complete the treatment process. Some clients choose to come for regular acupuncture sessions at intervals to continue with the benefits of acupuncture. Consistency with this form of treatment has helped our clients maintain the body’s energy flow, which stimulates healing and improvement in bodily functions and overall relaxes the body.

Foot massage and Reflexology: Foot massage or reflexology is a massage that involves applying different amounts of pressure to the feet, hands, and ears. These specific body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems.
Reflexology is a part of Chinese medicine and believes in the same principle of energy flow in the body through various energy channels just like in acupuncture.
People who practice this technique are called reflexologists. Reflexologists believe that applying pressure to the feet, hands and ears offers health benefits and that their touch sends energy flowing through a person’s body until it reaches the area in need of healing.
Reflexology is known to offer the following health benefits:
– reduce stress and anxiety
