Shiatsu (in Japanese shi finger and atsu pressure) is a method recognised in eastern psychosomatic medicine that aims to detect and eliminate energy imbalances and to reestablish and maintain the state of health. Pressure is exerted on different parts of the body including the feet and knees. It is recommended for solving problems of cervical rigidity, headaches and backaches, and helps improve the psychophysical state.

The basis of ayurvedic massage is “Abhyangam”, also called the technique of “loving hands” which is performed in a synchronised way. It is an excellent relaxation technique in which the body is massaged with sesame oil according to particular movements that extend with precision in a vertical and circular direction. This massage serves to harmonise the body’s energies, helps flush out the toxins of the metabolism, and encourages the deepest processes of renewal and purification of our bodies.

This ancient method from China is very similar to Acupuncture, but instead of the needle uses pressure from the fingers, which exercise a micromassage, stimulating energy along all the meridians. It not only has a positive effect on the energy system, but as a prophylaxis the treatment also strengthens the immune system and raises the limit of the daily load.

This has a double function: local and reflex. On the one hand it acts on the osteoarticular system, relieving local pains and contractions and unblocking the joints, and on the other it acts on the parasympathtic nervous system, helping to calm the mind.

This is a massage of Argentinian origin imported into Italy by the Rio Abierto School® in Naples. During this massage the energy is rebalanced by redistributing it along very precise energy channels. The hands of the therapist run over the entire body like an intense and beneficial “river in flood”, which will break down the barriers and obstacles due to physical and psychic blockages, allowing the vital lymph to restore wellness and energy.

This is a vigorous, penetrating massage that treats every fibre and muscle fascia of the body, involving, in line with the principles of eastern culture, the points along the meridians. It uses stretching exercises and other movements similar to those of Hatha Yoga.

The “mother” of this massage, devised in 1929, is the German physiotherapist Elisabeth Dicke, and our therapist trained in this technique. With this massage, recommended for every day, the therapist, wioth a tensile stroke, tries to strip away the build-up on the tissue, thus making it more elastic, with increased blood circulation, and hence healthier. Besides this direct effect, there is also an indirect benefit becase the massage has a reflex action on the visceral innervation and the musculoskeletal apparatus. Hence, reflexogenic connective tissue massage is particularly recommended for persons suffering from asthma and gastroenteritis, or urinary, genital or osteoarticular discomfort.

The craniosacral system is the place where body, mind and spirit join on commone ground. The system is characterised by a rhythmical activity that lasts for the whole of one’s life. In the presence of illnesses this rhythm changes, and craniosacral therapy intervenes to set it right. This treatment encourages the natural processes of self-healing and helps solve problems of migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, asthma, depression, stress and generalised pains.

Periods of tiredness or prolonged stress, professional duties, family responsibilities and the inevitable advance of age make our brains and our bodies assume the defences necessary to maintain health. That is when we get the first messages of overload: reduction of our ability to pay attention and concentrate, memory blanks, loss of balance, failing eyesight and hearing, tenseness in the jaw, uncordinated movements, irritability, leading to all sorts of medical conditions and articular blockages. The Brain Gym® comes to our aid precisely at this stage. Developed by the American kinesiologist Paul Dennison, these “gymnastics for the brain” uses both group and individual exercises that permit both a “neurological reawakening” and a balancing of one’s physical being. The coordinated movements proposed stimulate the production of neurotrophins, improving the interconnections of the nervous system through a real training process that involves the brain with its thoughts and sensations and the body with its movements.
To participate in the Brain Gym® means to increase our tolerance to stress, help our capacity to concentrate and pay attention, learn relaxation to prevent overload of the senses of sight and hearing, improve our memory quality and regain mental lucidity.
