Now Offering Cupping

Cupping For Better Health

We are excited to announce that we are now offering cupping.  Cupping is an ancient art form that is gently powerful, refreshes stagnant tissue, softens tense muscles without pain, promotes lymphatic drainage for removal of metabolic waste.  

We also offer Micro Cupping Face Drainage treatments that last 30 minutes.  These treatments drain stagnant fluid and gently massages facial muscles, cumulatively retraining the lymphatic drainage system of the face.  This tightens and tones the soft tissue of the face while reducing inflammation and promoting healing from external damage.  Great for seasonal allergies and sinus problems as well.

We also are offering Magnetic Reflexology, this combines the healing attributes of reflexology with magnets, acupressure and vacuum therapy.  Reflex points are addressed with small cups featuring magnets.

If you'd like to experience, PURE Heaven, you can enjoy the tension releasing power of Massage Cupping (TM) therapy on the back, neck and shoulders, then continue with Face Lifting and Drainage and finish with Magnetic Reflexology.  Profoundly relaxing, this service is recommended for clients who have already experienced a Massage Cupping (TM) service.

If you'd like to make an appointment, please call 215-542-7873.  

Are you thinking about getting a table Thai massage?

  

Why are you waiting? 

Massage is the manual manipulation of soft tissue and lengthening or stretching of it. Massage is great because it can get to things that stretching can't and stretching is great because it can do things that massage can't. They both have their place and time.

When it comes to stretching at home and trying to increase flexibility and range of motion, it's hard to push ourselves to get where we want. So a modality like Table Thai can be very helpful with this. During a Thai session, the therapist will ask you to let go and allow them to passively stretch and put your body though it's range of motion. Don't worry - you will let go. The passive state you're in will let the therapist push you further and achieve more range of motion than you thought was possible. You will leave feeling open, lighter and taller.

Whether you’re involved in competitive sports or just an active lifestyle, Table Thai can be an important part of keeping your body in balance. Call today to schedule an appointment at (215) 542-7873.

Tuesday's Wellness Tip from our Senior Massage Therapist Michael!

Tuesday's Wellness Tip from our Senior Massage Therapist Michael!
The simple act of breathing can be over looked during everyday life. It affects our mind and our body, the brain and the heart. Because these things need oxygen to function properly, deep breathing is essential for good health.

So throughout the day, be mindful of how you breathe. It's our most basic need and it's often our most neglected one.

How to Breathe:
It is best to breathe through your nose, as the tiny hairs and mucous membranes filter and moisturize the inhaled air. As you inhale you should feel your abdomen rising - it is as if your stomach is filling with air. As you exhale, the abdomen comes back in, like a balloon releasing all of its air. This inhale and exhale process should continue comfortably and smoothly. The abdomen should rise as you inhale and fall as you exhale. The chest should move only slightly.

  Sunscreen

                               Physical VS Chemical                           

Did you know? There are two types of sunscreen: chemical and physical? Currently there are only 2 FDA-approved physical sunscreens: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. By laying on the skin's surface and deflecting the sun's damaging rays, these ingredients provide SPF protection. Physical sunscreens can be visible on the skin (especially on darker skin tones) and have a reflective quality, not the best for flash photography. 

There are several FDA-approved chemical sunscreens, like avobenzone, oxybenzone and octinoxate.These ingredients absorb and/or scatter the sun's damaging rays to protect the skin. Chemical sunscreens are less noticeable on the surface of the skin and are an ideal choice for flash photography. 

Ultimately you will find that many products are a combination of both chemical and physical  ingredients. 

Be SENSIBLE about the SUN!

• Use SPF products labeled "broad-spectrum"
• Numbers matter! SPF 15-50 is recommended
• Reapply every 2 hours
