|
| Massage |
 |
| Classical massage is one of the oldest and most practised of massage techniques. The actual word massage originally came from the Arabic word “Mass” which means kneading and pressing. In ancient Chinese literature, the art of massage is mentioned for the first time as a form of therapy. Even Hippokrates describes massage as a possible therapy in the treatment of certain ailments. It was from France that massage spread and became popular in Europe. The French expression “Effleuragen” dealt with concepts such as stroking, kneading and pounding and they are terms that we still use today. Under the influence of Henrik Ling (1776 – 1839) who introduced specific movements into massage, methods that were practised in France, later developed into physiotherapy. | |
| Massage is a therapy that treats skin, muscles, contractions and tensions as well as scars and circulation complaints, by applying distension, traction and press stimuli. The healing qualities of massage influence mechanical, bio-mechanical, neuro-enhancement, physical and energy effects and affect both the musculoskeletal system as well as the immune system react positively to the treatment. The only therapy we implement preceding physiotherapy is massage in combination with hot, cold, BGM or music. | |
| We can give you a full body massage or massage therapy to different parts of the body such as spinal massage, massage to the shoulder and neck, arm, leg, pelvic massage, stomach, chest, foot, face and head massage. | |
| Reflex Zones of the Foot | |
| This healing massage is based on the knowledge that the feet are a scaled down version of the body and are divided up into many defined zones that correspond with all of our organs, systems, tissue and blood flows. The specific method of pressure on different parts of the sole of the feet opens our energy channels through which energy can flow into all different parts of our body. By applying reflex-zone massage, it is possible to induce a release of tension and reduction of stress. In a relaxed state, the body has the opportunity to heal itself. |  |
| Lymph Drainage |
 |
| A common problem after a long flight is water congestion in the arms and legs and we know this to be a result of lymph fluid that has collected in tissue that cannot be drained naturally. It is a complaint that can also occur after operations or injury such as twisting your ankle when walking for example. It is possible to drain this fluid manually via the lymph nodes which distribute the excess fluid in tissue to the rest of the body. There is a certain technique applied by the palm of the hand in a circling and pumping movement with the aim of reducing swelling, releasing excessive fluid and relieving the parts of the body affected. The treatment is also found to be a preventative method which induces a state of relaxation found to be most pleasant to the patient. | |
| Physiotherapy |
 |
| Physiotherapy serves to cover many different kinds of
therapy methods designed to relieve a whole range of health dysfunctions,
especially in complaints of the musculoskeletal system, as well as therapy
of muscles, connective tissue, sinews and tendons. Under the term physiotherapy such treatments as thermo-therapy, chiro-therapy, electro-therapy, as well as different forms of massage, motion therapy, training therapy, and the rehabilitation therapy for heart disorders and even therapy in the treatment of psychological disorders are included. |
|
| Sport Physiotherapy |
 |
| Sport physiotherapy is now accepted as an independent branch
of physiotherapy. Our methods are geared towards active people and sports
people who are going through a process of recovery and regeneration from
injuries brought about by injuries, or operations. Due to the high demands of sport, it is important that our therapists have additional training in the treatment methods of sports injuries and also have personal experience in the physical demands made on sportspeople. This includes supervision of those in competition sport and forms of therapy in the case of muscle or tendon injuries, as well as special knowledge in the application of dressings to help relieve pressure on injured areas. |
|
| Manuel Therapy |
 |
| This concept begins with a thorough and comprehensive examination into the status and cause of the dysfunction. It is important to find out exactly what kind of injury we are dealing with and its exact location in the affected joint, muscle or nerve. As well as physiotherapeutic measures, it is also necessary to make use of passive measures of manipulation of joints, extremities and spine | |
| Exercises to relieve back pain |
 |
| Exercise that you will learn in our special courses for back complaints, are both preventative and rehabilitative. You can help to minimise back pain with exercises that make the muscles in your stomach, hips and thighs strong and flexible. Our courses offer theoretical as well as practical advice on reduction or avoidance of back pain. On completion of the course, participants are aware of the causes of back pain and how best to avoid them, as well as learning how to react when problems arise. | |
| Kinesiology / Meridian | |
| Find the right balance and let the energy flow |
|
| The rudiments of kinesiology are both simple and effective. With the help of the bio-feedback method and reflection muscle testing, individual blockages can be located and dissolved. Kinesiology is based on the ancient Chinese teachings of acupuncture and the flow of energy to the meridians. | |
| In kinesiology, we are working with energy flows affecting conscious and unconscious experiences, thoughts, feelings, and emotions of the body as a whole. The impact that imbalances have on our health, such as blockages and stress are located by testing methods of kinesiology. | |
| Solutions to these problems are brought about by the redistribution of energy flows which bring harmony and a feeling of well being to body and mind. As a result, you will feel free and relaxed and able to face up to the challenges of everyday life. | |
| Thalasso/ baths | |
| You will find that our trained therapists only work with high quality products. The soft pack is a specially designed water bed in which you will lie for 20 minutes. First of all though; your body will be creamed with one of our Thalasso products which is especially deemed to be suitable for you skin type. The ideal combination of Thalasso with the temperature of the soft pack water bed brings about a particularly effective absorption of minerals and trace elements. |
|
| Further active ingredients are applied to the body via a Vichy shower which you will enjoy at the end of the treatment. Pores are thus opened which create ideal conditions for the absorption of positive active agents and also release of negative ones. This can be achieved by massaging water jets and in some cases by manual massage. |
|
| Relax in the effervescence of our medicinal baths. Ingredients are added according to your needs, whether it is stimulating, relaxing, cleansing or soothing. Our team of therapists will bring about the optimal effect, whatever your mood. |

| Hot Stone Massage |
|
| This is a rediscovered method of massage according to ancient Asian practices which rely on the placing of warm stones on certain parts of the body and massaging of Tibetan herb oils with healing qualities into the skin. The result is a feeling of freshness, clarity and a complete new feeling of well being. A special technique of massage complimented with warm stones brings warmth deep into the tissue and stimulates the blood flow to all parts of the body. The result of these sessions is harmony in both body and mind, as your body’s own sources of energy are re-activated. | |
| At first we begin by massaging your body with healing oils and then up, to 40 rather hot stones are laid on certain places on your body. At the same time, energy lines along your spine and down to the feet indicating energy flows are marked with a brush dipped warm ayurveda oil. In this case we use three of the Indian ayurveda oils with healing qualities that compliment each other for the most effective therapy. | |
| The stones are of the volcanic rock basalt that has been heated in water for our Hot Stone Massage programme. We use different sizes of these smooth, shiny rocks which are known to retain the heat for longer periods. They are laid along the energy lines where the massage effect is brought about by a form of thermotherapy which induces warmth into the muscles. The warmth created by the stones increases the blood flow and so greater amounts of oxygen are supplied to the cells and tissue. Warm almond oil is rubbed over the rest of the body and when the stones have served their purpose, they are removed one by one in a circular, massaging motion. | |
| Reflective Sound Massage |
