| At
The Ikier Wellness Center, we offer advanced massage therapy
for pain and stiffness. With an integrative approach using
a variety of hands-on therapies, we can correct your posture
and improve your gait. For stress reduction, we offer hot
stone, myofascial release, pre and post-natal and shiatsu
therapies. Reiki, a light touch massage for healing, will
relax and rejuvenate while balancing your energy. Here at
The Ikier Wellness Center, we also practice a centuries old
technique called body tapping. Body tapping will promote organ
health, provide instant energy, improve the immune system
and increase circulation. Using these varied techniques and
therapies, we can set you on the path to a pain and stress
free life. Massage for:
- Pain of tight muscles
- Stress reduction
- Restriction from old injuries
- Improvement of circulation
- Improvement of breathing
- Long term goal of reducing pain medication
- Eye tension
Each treatment is designed by a therapist
to address specific areas of tension. When indicated, therapist will suggest techniques
for relief of stress-related pain and muscular tension.
Options include:
- One hour sessions, including a light stretch or movement
that if performed several times per week, will aid in keeping
tension down
- Deep Relaxation - warm oil, warm towels and soft music
(1 hr. table)
- 20 minute “clinic” sessions, which focus
on one specific area (i.e., neck, shoulders, back, etc.)
- Hand Massage - relaxes stiff, aching, cold hands (20
min. seated)
- Foot Massage - relieves aching cold feet (20 min.
seated)
- Neck & Shoulder - improves stiff necks and headaches
(20 min. seated)
Special services:
- Some medical situations need a detailed specific plan
- Often networking with the health practitioner is required
- Sessions are private and include other holistic modalities
beyond traditional massage or exercise
Pain is subjective; everyone has a different
pain threshold. At The Ikier Center, every client's pain level
is identified and considered. Each treatment plan is designed
to meet client's needs.
The treatment plan is discussed with client's
short term and long term goals, then collaboratively established.
Suggestions for home care are demonstrated and written out
at the end of each session.
In today's society, busy people need “stress
busters” (stretching, ergonomic checks, breathing, etc.)
that can be incorporated into their day. When finding “extra
time” is impossible during the day, The Ikier Center
recommends a “stress tip” that fits into your
day (i.e., “desk” breaks, “car” breaks,
“stairs are for stretching,” “ergo checks”).
These stimulate “the relaxation response,” and
subsequently, the whole body relaxes.
