Based in Whiteshill, Stroud, Village Therapies offers Systematic Kinesiology/allergy testing; natural facelift, therapeutic and deep tissue massage. Systematic Kinesiology is an holistic approach to natural health care working with the individual rather than the symptoms being experienced. It is a non-invasive and sound method of identifying imbalances within the body using muscle testing. Muscle testing can access information from the body's meridians and bio-energy system. It is also used to find out the priority area of the energy system to be helped and to evaluate the energy changes brought about by a variety of corrections. Testing is carried out by assessing the muscles' ability to hold against light pressure. Corrections are then made as required using bio-individual nutrition, firm reflex massage, energy techniques and emotional work if required. Systematic Kinesiology is best known for identifying food and environmental sensitivities: it may also benefit pain, structural issues/injuries, digestive problems, the nervous system, sleep problems, the endocrine system, nutritional requirements, weight management, and more. Massage - has many benefits including relaxation; easing of tense muscles; improved muscle and skin tone; increased energy levels; reduced pain, inflammation and movement limitation. Holistic natural facelift massage is a customised combination of Eastern and Western facial massage, acupressure points and facial reflexology. The massage techniques can improve the complexion by stimulating skin rejuvenation and boosting cellular activity, aiding the removal of toxins and improving the flow of lymph. It reduces muscle tension and helps to reduce expression lines and wrinkles as well as toning and tightening the skin and the underlying muscles. This massage is suitable for men as well as women.
