What do you wear to a Fumi massage?

We typically recommend that you wear soft comfortable clothes, the softer the better. The session takes place on a soft padded surface, so wearing something ideal would ensure there’s no discomfort from your clothes.

What is Fumi massage good for?

Besides making you feel relaxed and energized, a Fumi Massage can be used to treat a variety of conditions such as:

Muscle tension: Relieve tension and spasms of the muscles, helping to eliminate muscle aches by rubbing and pulling at the skin and muscles by pressing on acupressure points throughout the body to release tension which helps facilitate blood flow and circulation, aiding in healing injured muscles.

Improve skin: Stimulate circulation in capillaries of the skin’s soft tissues. This also serves to stimulate the secretion of the sebaceous glands and keeps skin moist and smooth. With improved blood circulation you can enjoy a more healthier look and glow.

Excess stress, agitation and exhaustion: Helps those who suffer from fatigue and weakness by restoring and maintaining the body’s energy. Aid migraines by relaxing the body and increasing blood flow and circulation throughout the body.

For those not in the know, migraines are caused by a rapid widening and narrowing of the blood vessels in the brain or head, causing irritation and pain.

Sleep: Issues such as fatigue and insomnia, and can help promote better relaxation and reduces stress, leading to more improved sleep patterns.

What type of massage should I get?

There are several types of massages we offer:

Our Fumi Massage is a technique from Japan which is a fusion of chiropractor and shiatsu massage therapy, using the foot and body weight to perform deep tissue work. This helps release muscle tension, knots and discomfort.

Our Aromatherapy Massage is a relaxing full-body essential oil massage that combines a series of stretching, compressing, gliding, and cupping motions. It also helps to improve the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout your body which in turn improves circulation and boosts your immune system.

As always, let us know if you have any questions. As a precaution talk to your doctor first before getting any type of massage if you have any health concerns or conditions.
