Relaxation Massage

The main intention of relaxation massage is to cultivate deep restorative tranquility in the body by gently encouraging optimal circulation, using the healing power of touch to nurture and soothe the nervous system.

 

At Heavenly Qi Acupuncture we believe that the entire atmosphere can be optimised to encourage our patients into their parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system, this includes a calm candlelight environment that activates the rest and bliss hormones melatonin and oxytocin, aromatherapy with specific high quality DoTerra essential oils that amplify the healing of mind body and spirit, medicinal music playing softly in the background. Relaxation massage at Heavenly Qi is the complete experience of nurture, rest and deep soamtic healing and regeneration. 

Relaxation Massage Therapy may be effective at:

  • Activating the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system for deep somatic healing
  • Clearing unresolved emotions from the muscles and fascia
  • Improve circulation
  • Enhance sleep, rest and inner calm
  • Promote a feeling of well-being, self love and self care
  • Significantly reduce stress and tension by turning off the sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system

Cupping

Cupping is an ancient healing technique that involves using specialised cups to create suction and thus a partial vacuum on the patients skin. At Heavenly Qi Acupuncture we love to do ‘Fire Cupping’, where the oxygen is removed from inside the cup by burning fire inside and then swiftly placing it on specific acupuncture points and channels.

 

The benefits of cupping include:

  • Stimulating the flow of blood and lymph which can reduce pain
  • Clear inflammation and swelling
  • Detoxify the skin and stimulate the immune system
  • Cupping is also great at helping heal respiratory conditions by breaking up sticky phlegm in the lungs, making it easier to cough up and expectorate
