BANAHAW HEALS SPA TREATMENTS
5-in-1 Healing Massage
At Banahaw Heals Spa, the Founder developed an innovative massage that uses different modalities and apply them into one- those are Thai, Swedish, Hilot, Shiatsu, and Tuina.
· THAI MASSAGE is an ancient/traditional massage based on ayurveda and yoga originally from India. The technique combines massage with yoga-like positions during the course of the massage.
· SWEDISH MASSAGE on the other hand uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. The five basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber) and vibration or shaking. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteo-arthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks. It has also been shown to be helpful in individuals with poor circulation.
· HILOT is a traditional healing technique from the Philippines that also includes massage techniques. The massage techniques relax stressed muscles. Hilot also includes joint manipulations to help relax stressed muscles. It encompasses a wide variety of techniques beyond the treatment of stressed muscles. Hilot can be used to reset sprained joints, diagnose and treat musculoligamentous and musculoskeletal ailments.
· SHIATSU (shi meaning finger and atsu meaning pressure) is a Japanese therapy that uses pressure applied with thumbs, fingers and palms to the same energy meridians as acupressure and incorporates stretching. It also uses techniques such as rolling, brushing, vibrating, grasping. Pressure is sometimes also applied with the feet on the person's back, legs and feet.
· TUINA is a hands-on body treatment that uses Chinese taoist and martial art principles to bring the body to balance. The practitioner may brush, knead, roll/press and rub the areas between each of the joints (known as the eight gates) to open the body's defensive (wei) chi and get the energy moving in the meridians as well as the muscles. The practitioner can then use range of motion, traction, massage, with the stimulation of acupressure points; this is claimed to treat both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, as well as many non-musculoskeletal conditions.
