REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology constitutes an archetype therapy. It is known that in countries such as India, Japan, China and also in Europe there are indications (from cave paintings, icons and statues ) that people applied pressure to the soles of the feet for therapeutic reasons.
Reflexology is based on the existence of reflexive points on the soles which correspond to every organ and part of the body. There are 7,200 nerve endings which terminate in the soles. These nerve endings have extensive interactions with the spinal cord, the brain and all parts of the body.
With the appropriate and systematic activation of these points with specific pressures we can, to begin with, relax the body and convey the message to our body to activate selfhealing.
SOUND THERAPY
Sound massage by Peter Hess
Sound massage with singing bowls is a sound therapy where singing bowls are placed on the dressed body or into the health aura and tapped gently with a felt mallet. The calming harmonizing sounds as well as the gentle vibrations of the singing bowls induce a feeling of well-being and a very effective deep relaxation ("sound-based relaxation"). With people in good health sound massage will support the development of their inner harmony and provide them with energy and strength for their daily tasks. Creativity and productive energy will receive new impulses. With physical, mental and psychological issues, sound massage will help to bring relief from pain and problems that cause daily stress, worries, and anxiety.
