* While Relaxation Massage covers most areas of the body, using gentle techniques such as Effleurage and Petrissage, Therapeutic Massage is intended to affect certain areas and includes more techniques such as Trigger Point Therapy, Joint Play, and Muscular Energy Technique. 

* It can also increase relaxation, circulation, immune function, flexibility, range of motion, energy, and alertness as well as decrease stress, anxiety, and muscle pain, soreness, and tension.

* Bowen Therapy is a unique approach to stimulating the body's natural healing ability, so it is sometimes challenging to describe to those who have not experienced it. There is no therapy like it in the world. While the work is gentle and non-invasive, the effective practice of it is very specific and precise. (The terms BowenWork, Bowen Technique, BowTech, Bowen Session, Bowen Therapy are all interchangeable and all mean the same treatment.)

* Bowen Therapy involves gentle, yet powerful movements on muscle and connective tissue. These movements prompt soft tissue release, sending neurological impulses to the brain. Because the impulses travel through the internal nervous system pathways, they stimulate whole-brain responses, which address every system in the body - internal organ systems as well as musculoskeletal structure.

* Pauses are inserted between sets of these movements, which allow the brain time to process and send messages to realign the body. It is thought that because the whole brain is stimulated, the original genetic pattern is re-awakened, and the more recent injury and compensation patterns are released. Respecting these pauses is an essential component of Bowen Therapy, for it allows the body sufficient time to remember and restore its own healthy, natural balance.

The McLoughlin Scar Release Technique can affect scar tissue in the following ways:

* By reducing pain and sensitivity or by increasing sensation to numb areas right on the scar and along the affected nerve pathways.
* Due to the increase in blood flow to the scar, scars often change colour to blend in better with the surrounding tissue.
* Scars can often become less indented or lumpy due to the increase in fluid and lymph to and from the area.
* Energy flow in the body can improve and be restored as meridians, which may have been cut by the scar/surgery/event, now become unblocked.

Here is a little about Access Massage:

Imagine having someone gently touch 32 points on your head to help clear your mind of the negativity holding you back from living your best life.

This is what having an Access Bars massage is all about. It can feel like you have created space in your mind for mental clarity, problem-solving, peace, and creativity. It is for releasing negative thought patterns, beliefs, and emotions. It can improve how depressive and anxious tendencies are managed as well as decrease interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts.

After an Access Bars session, you can feel more relaxed, have more energy, and have a better outlook on life and the world around you.

"At worst you feel like you have just had the best massage of your life. At best your whole life can change into something greater with total ease." (Dr. Fannin, Neuroscientist)

Give yourself the freeing gift of space for calmness.
