However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.It feels good and it is beneficial to your health. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Because many toxins are released, it’s important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.

The purpose is to “unstick” the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic.

Cupping is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatments that improve chi flow and circulation. Placing of a closed container where a partial vacuum has been created, on the skin for medicinal purposes. The vacuum is created in the cup, then quickly removed as the cup is placed on the skin. The quicker this occurs, the more suction is retained in the cup. The vacuum inside the cup allows suction to draw up the underneath tissues into the cup, and forms an area of blood stasis.

The cup may be left in place for between 5 to 10 minutes and were the blood stasis or bruise is formed and healing takes place. The time of application is adjusted according to the strength of the vacuum inside the cup. The cup may be left in a stationary position or moved with the assistance of oil (applied prior to the cup). The cup should be removed when the skin has gone a reddish/purple colour and if the skin has not gone red after 5 minutes, the treatment is not considered successful. The faster the skin turns red, the better the prognosis.

The Hawaiians look at things in terms of energy flow, following the idea that an idea or belief can block energy flow as much as muscle tension can. Kahuna helps release the blockages, whilst at the same time giving the energy new direction. Thus Kahuna is not just a physical experience; it also facilitates healing on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels as well. The Hawaiians view all aspects of the body as one and believe that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are all part of the “whole” self – when healing is effected on one level, all levels are affected.

When harmony is lacking the effect is pain physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Illness is a state of tension, which leads to resistance which blocks energy movement. Kahuna helps release this and therefore facilitates the road to healing. On the physical level, through Kahuna stress and tension are relieved, blood and lymph flow assisted and the elimination of wastes and toxins stimulated.
