Beneficial for chronic and some acute conditions, Medical Massage treatments may include a hot or cold compress and\/or liniment application when needed. Each session is custom-tailored to focus on the needs of the individual and cupping or tuning forks may also be used.<\/span><\/p><br><br>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Swedish Massage<\/b> a\/k\/a European technique employs long, sweeping strokes together with kneading, friction, tapping and joint movement. Oil or lotion is used to lubricate and soothe the skin during treatment.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This is the best type of message for stress-relief as it is very relaxing.<\/span><\/p><br><br>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Amma Therapy or Acupressure<\/b> works like acupuncture without the needles. Based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the superficial pathways of the channel system and points on these pathways are massage with kneading or rolling strokes together with figure pressure applied to specific points selected for their ability to affect a range of conditions. Amma Therapy is an excellent treatment for general balancing. Clothing need not be removed. <\/span><\/p><br><br>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Reflexology<\/b> can be a great therapeutic alternative for individuals who may be uncomfortable with a full body massage. A typical Reflexology session lasts 30-60 minutes and focuses entirely on the feet and lower legs. The therapist uses pinpoint pressure on specific points called \u201creflexes\u201d which correspond to various organs and structures in the body. This treatment can be done with a patient seated in a chair or lying on a table and can be profoundly relaxing.<\/span><\/p><br><br>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><br><br>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #993366; font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Tips to help you receive the most benefits <br \/>\r\nfrom any massage treatment you choose:<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<\/b><\/span><\/p><br><br>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Arrive a few minutes early to enjoy the full benefit of the time reserved for you.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Wear loose, comfortable and\/or easy to remove clothing.<br \/>\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Avoid eating a meal for 2 hours prior to any massage treatment.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Please call or <a href=\"https:\/\/qwellnessmassage.com\/contact-Form.php\">email<\/a> QWellness Massage Therapy to schedule an appointment.<\/span><\/p><br><br>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><br><br>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><br><br>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Medical Massage is therapy for specific problems and utilizes various types or combinations of techniques within the time frame of a treatment session.
