The Oriental massage sequence used is known as Kata (which is the Japanese word for dance) and works through many acupressure points. Acupressure is often referred to as acupuncture without needle. It is used to bring balance in the flow of energy for both mind and body. This flow of energy is traditionally known as Qi which is pronounced as Chi in the western world. The therapy is performed using elbows, thumbs and hands to stimulate major acupressure points which in turn has a positive and balancing effect on our muscular, nervous, circulatory and immune systems. Shiatsu movements and percussion techniques are also included. The massage covers the entire back, shoulders, neck, head, arms and hands.
