Explore the Power of Massage! Replenish overworked bodies with a simple treatment, and immersing a total relaxation. Massage keeps you stay youthful! Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that involves manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body (muscle, skin and connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and membranes) to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort and muscle spasm. Massage therapy also promotes health and wellness. It improves the functioning of the circulatory, muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems, and facilitates recovery from injury and illness. Common Symptoms:
===============
* Overused symptoms and joints dysfunction
* Postural Imbalance
* Frozen Shoulders
* Tendonitis / Bursitis / Chronic Inflammation
* Scoliosis / Kyphosis / Lordosis
* SI Joint dysfunciton
* Plantar Fasciitis
* Tennis Elbow / Golf Elbow / Carpal Tunnel

Massage therapy is NOT only benefit to restore health, distress, comfort chronic overused symptoms and long-term illness. It is also have an anti-aging effect to live younger and happier. In the traditional Chinese philosophy, “Chi” or “Qi” has an important role in all life forms. Chi is the universal life force that governs well¬-being and personal vitality. It has to flow freely within the body in order for one to maintain good health. When Chi is blocked, disease and illness will follow. Mobility is therefore pivotal in blockage release. Body massage, aerobic exercises, stretching, and mind exercises (through meditation and relaxation), will assist in the natural renewal of the body and form a foundation for the Chi philosophy. To understand how important harmony is ¬ picture the cells in your body playing in an orchestra ¬ how would it sound when the orchestra is in harmony compared to when it is in discord? I believe in 2 things that can help my customers lead a less stressful life:¬
(1) Replenishing overworked bodies with a simple treatment, and
(2) Immersing in total relaxation. Together, they can bring the best out of my customers that result in a happy and successful life. One of the ways I can help you achieve that is to help bring out your natural beauty through the use of Chi, or energy flow. This natural process comprises of a series of head, face, neck, shoulder and body massages and holistic treatments that will restore balance in the physical body and increase blood circulation. It gives you a natural glow and your face is lifted.

STIM POD is Non-Invasive Pulsed Radio Frequency Treatment System. It is used by Medical Doctors, Chiropractor, Physiotherapist, Reg. Acupuncturist and RMT.
The treatment is covered under both Acupuncture and RMT extensive health benefit.

Indicated for:
• The symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain
• An adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical pain
• An adjunctive treatment for post-traumatic, acute pain problems
• An adjunctive treatment for pain control due to rehabilitation

The Stimpod’s patented waveform is delivered transcutaneously and affects the cellular metabolic activity of a neuropathic nerve. The induced electromagnetic field propagates as short bursts and travels along the axons to spinal dorsal horn, restoring intra-neural communication pathways and natural nerve functionality.

Great with:
• Long-term relief from chronic pain
• Restore optimal nerve functionality
• Fast onset of action
• No side-effects

Backed by multiple clinical trials and research
• Trigeminal Neuralgia
• Chronic Headaches
• Diabetic Neuropathy
• Intractable Pain

My treatment approach is often blending aspects of Eastern and Western approaches to medicine, such as anatomy, nerve and its pathway and TCM meridians with acupuncture points.

This treatment is great for people with intensive fear or dislike needles in medical settings and scare of acupuncture needling.

I felt so upset that Google suddenly deleted 9 client 5-star reviews for my online profile just in one day. I have 65 Google reviews on my Google profile by end of last year but now suddenly down to 56 Google reviews today. They are genuinely written by my clients as a feedback and sharing to the public. This happened when I don’t want to join their Google voice and block their number calling me 3-4x times everyday for over last 2 weeks. Now I snapshot with all the rest of reviews and see if they are continue deleting more….???😡😡😡

Why tissue health is essential when we facilitate healing???
-----------------------------------------------------------

What is tissue health? Healthy tissues are able to stretch and bounce back. It has good elasticity and flexibility. It should able to move freely or within its normal range of motion. Health tissues are characterized by pressure gradients that facilitate the transport of oxygen and nutrients from the vascular compartment into the interstitium and deeper layers of tissue.

A Client has a stiff neck and shoulder booked for a massage. When She came in and said that she fell and hurt her baby finger. It has been swollen for a month and never goes down. She had a X-ray done, luckily no fracture. Her family doctor told her to leave it and it will be healed by itself. A month passes by, the joint of her baby finger is still swollen and unable to bend. She tries to bend but it hurts and pain felt immediately. Her family doctor said it may be osteoarthritis. Pandemic of COVID-19, we seem to have lesser the family physician care. How could it possible cause by osteoarthritis after a fall??? So, she went for physio 3-4 days ago. They taught her to stretch the muscles of baby finger. The condition remains the same and it has NO CHANGE.

WHEN YOU HAVE AN INJURY AND IT IS NOT HEALING, YOU SHOULD RAISE A QUESTION "WHY???" It HAS BEEN A MONTH. A fracture takes about 4-8 weeks to heal. She had no fracture. It means it is soft tissues damaged. Why soft tissues do not heal? Tissue damaged of baby finger causes blood stagnation, purplish red around the joint with swelling and a slight bend finger you can see clearly. The healing is started and the scar tissues are paved. However, if the tissues are not getting enough O2 + nutrients so it delays the healing. Its circulation is blocked so how could they able to move the wastes away. This is the reason why it is not healing well for a month.

On top of this, the circulation of the body is blocked because of STRESS, OVERWORK, OVERUSE. Lymphatic drainage is not working well. It is also affecting the healing process.

In order to facilitate healing, we need to increase circulation and lymphatic drainage. Move soft tissues to get the nutrients and oxygen for healing. Massage is one type of soft tissues manipulation.

I did SOFT TISSUE MANIPULATION and ACUPUNCUTRE on her injured hand as well as her forearm. Manual lymphatic drainage is essential to perform at the end of the treatment. It helps to move the wastes that causes swelling and limits the movement of joint. After the treatment, her baby finger gets back to normal. Swelling is gone, purplish red is reduced and color is back to normal. Her finger is able to bend even though it has a very little pain. This is normal. I teach her how to move the tissues and stretch the muscles gentle as homecare. It should be fine.

When you have an injury, the healing starts, you cannot just leave it to healing by itself. When scar tissues are paved, you need to slowly start stretching the tissues to help it healed healthily. Otherwise, too much scar tissues will limit the joint and muscles movement. Stretching is also beneficial for nerve health. It is essential as the rehabilitation exercises. DON’T JUST LEAVE IT AND YOU THINK IT WILL HEAL BY ITSELF. IT IS BETTER TO LOOK UP FOR PROFESSIONALS TO HELP YOU. Remember the longer you wait you make the condition worse and it takes a longer time to treat.
