Massage: Welcome
- Are you constantly on the go?

- Does your state of mind fluctuate creating emotional highs & lows?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, massage will support you.
Whilst it is a magnificent treat, it is indeed much more.
Relaxation is a skill that needs to be learnt and practiced.
At Ki viva we offer a time efficient session, tailored to your needs, to relax the body, refresh & stabilise the mind, and remember the spirit.
Regular massage will not only allow you to feel great & restore balance but will educate you how to sustain this feeling & enable more awareness & clarity.
Massage Menu
RELAX MASSAGE
A firm, rhythmically flowing massage that systematically softens the body, stimulates circulation and allows the mind to rest. A meditative awareness creates the space for you to let go of built up tensions. The nervous system is allowed to reverse the stress response by slowing down. Vibrational healing is incorporated through sound & touch so as we engage with the natural energy flowing in you, harmony can be restored.
THERAPEUTIC & REMEDIAL MASSAGE
Building on a relax massage, a therapeutic massage is deeper and more intense involving consultation & assessment. Injuries can be assessed to determine whether massage will aid with rehabilitation. Myofascial trigger point therapy effectively diagnoses and releases muscle tissue where tight bands & corresponding pockets of accumulated waste products create pain patterns. A variety of techniques are used as required including acupressure, chinese massage, cupping, moxabustion, stretching, joint work and home exercise. At Ki viva we focus on the needs of the individual and draw on Eastern & Western disciplines to achieve results.
MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Indicated for a variety of conditions involving fluid retention, including headache, menstrual pain, sinusitis, post surgical procedures & injuries and to stimulate detoxification & immunity. It involoves slow, light, rythmical massage to assist elimination of lymphatic fluid.
SPORTS MASSAGE
A deep vigorous massage designed to prepare your body to function optimally before an event. Or to relax & recover after a strenuous workout. A massage designed to really stretch & loosen you up.
SHIATSU
Shiatsu is a Japanese system of healing through touch which restores wellbeing by engaging with the natural energy in the body. First we build a picture of you, looking at your reasons for seeking shiatsu, your work & leisure life, exercise, eating & sleep patterns, energy and emotional responses to life events. Often tongue & pulse diagnosis may be used.
Shiatsu is traditionally given through clothing on a futon. The session involves application of pressure in harmony withbreath, stretching, vibration, meditative holding of acupoints, stimulating warmth by burning mugwort near points (moxa) or aiding release using the chinese spoon or cupping. Recommendations for home practice will be given to incorporate betweeen sessions to encourage an active responsibility in one's path towards wellbeing. These may include stretches, new eating or lifestyle habits.
Shiatsu is indicated for many conditions of joint, postural or muscular origin and systemic conditions eg. menstrual, pregnancy, digestion, headache, fatigue, insomnia, depression. It works especially well for balancing emotion and state of mind.
Shiatsu offers an opporunity to surrender. This means just resting an allowing the practitioner to utilise your body weight in a creative dance enticing the energy - or Ki - to flow in harmony.
PREGNANCY & POST NATAL
Pregnancy is a tremendous time of change and massage is a wonderful support.
In the first trimester nausea, fatigue & anxiety can be alleviated whilst the body harnesses all its energy to create a new being.
In the second trimester we begin to use the special pillow so you can lie face down with your belly fully supported and massage can continue as required, assisting you to accomodate the changes you are experiencing and giving you time out from your busy schedule.
In the third trimester, discomfort is common from compensation for the growing baby; massage can relieve over-active muscles, stimulate circulation that may become sluggish in arms & legs and calm the mind, regulating sleep patterns and allowing space to connect with the baby within. Learning to breathe and relax will optimally prepare you for labour.
Postnatally, massage can relieve tight & sore back, shoulders & neck from breastfeeding and give guidance on restoring the body's strength and balance.
Combine with healing oils of Rose, Jasmine & Bergamot for maximum nurturing.
LOMI LOMI HOT STONE MASSAGE
