TREATMENTS

Registered Massage Therapy

(註冊按摩療法)

Massage therapy is a therapeutic bodywork technique that involves the manipulation of soft tissues and joints, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissues, and skin. Its primary benefits include reducing muscle tension, improving circulation, relieving stress, enhancing range of motion, promoting relaxation, and supporting overall well-being. This holistic treatment aids the body’s natural healing process, boosts flexibility, and helps maintain optimal health.

Deep Tissue Massage

(深層組織按摩療法)

Although deeper pressure is applied during the session, your therapist will regularly check in to ensure it remains within your comfort level. The treatment targets deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues, starting with a gentle approach and gradually progressing to deeper layers. This method helps reduce muscle resting tension (MRT) and alleviate chronic pain. Following the treatment, you may experience delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which is a common response. Your therapist will provide self-care tips to minimize or prevent discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery.

Pregnancy Massage

(產前按摩療法)

Depending on the stage and condition of the pregnancy, the therapist will ensure the patient is positioned for optimal comfort and safety. No sustained pressure or acupuncture will be applied to the lower back or ankles. While many patients find relief from tightness with abdominal massage, it will not be performed until the second trimester. Please inform your therapist about the details of your pregnancy to ensure the most appropriate and safe treatment.

Therapeutic Massage

(治療性按摩療法)

Our experienced therapists utilize a comprehensive range of orthopedic tests to assess the patient’s condition and primary complaint before treatment. This approach allows the therapist to address the root cause of the issue rather than just the symptoms. Deeper pressure may be applied during soft tissue manipulation to release muscle tension and target trigger points, helping to alleviate discomfort and promote healing.

Structural Osteopathy

(結構性整骨療法)

Osteopathy is a holistic, hands-on therapy that complements conventional medical treatments, focusing primarily on musculoskeletal issues. Using manual techniques such as soft tissue manipulation, joint mobilization, and muscle energy techniques, osteopaths move joints and stretch muscles to improve mobility and alleviate pain. These techniques have a positive cascading effect on the entire body, enhancing the nervous system, improving blood circulation, and supporting the health of organs.

Massage + Acupuncture

(按摩療法 + 針灸)

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific acupoints on the body. These acupoints are located along meridians through which vital energy (Qi) flows. The goal of acupuncture is to restore balance to this energy, alleviate pain, and address various health issues.

Following a massage, the acupuncturist identifies the most relevant acupoints based on the patient’s condition, targeting areas of pain, tension, or other concerns. The needles are carefully inserted and left in place for 15-30 minutes, allowing the patient to remain relaxed.

The benefits of acupuncture include pain relief, improved circulation, stress reduction, holistic healing, accelerated recovery, and restored energy balance.

Massage + Dry Cupping

(按摩療法 + 拔罐)

Massage therapy with dry cupping combines traditional massage techniques with the benefits of cupping therapy to enhance treatment results. This integrated approach provides a comprehensive solution for addressing musculoskeletal issues, improving circulation, and promoting deep relaxation.

Dry Cupping: This technique involves placing cups on the skin to create a suction effect, drawing the skin and underlying tissues into the cup. This suction helps increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and accelerate the body’s natural healing process.

The overall benefits include, but are not limited to, enhanced blood flow, reduced muscle tension, improved mobility, pain relief, detoxification, and stress reduction, offering a holistic treatment for both physical and mental well-being.

Massage + Hot Stones

(按摩療法 + 熱石)

A hot stone massage is a therapeutic treatment that utilizes smooth, heated stones to enhance relaxation. The heat from the stones, combined with the pressure applied by the therapist, helps to relax muscles, alleviate tension, and promote overall relaxation and well-being.

The benefits of this treatment include muscle relaxation, pain relief, improved circulation, stress reduction, enhanced flexibility and mobility, and detoxification, making it an effective solution for both physical and mental rejuvenation.

Massage + Fascial Stretch

(按摩療法 + 筋膜拉伸)

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) targets both the fascia and joints, using a combination of movement and stretches to release tension in deep tissue layers. This therapy enhances mobility, promotes relaxation, and provides lasting benefits after multiple sessions. FST aims to relax tissues and improve joint range.

By combining massage techniques with fascial stretch therapy, treatments can be fully personalized to address individual needs and optimize results.

Chiropractic

(脊椎矯正療法)

Chiropractic treatment is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those affecting the spine. Chiropractors believe these disorders can impact overall health through the nervous system. The primary treatment method used is spinal manipulation, also known as chiropractic adjustment.
