Relaxation Massage

A Relaxation Massage at Vinaka Wellbeing feels good, relaxes you and invigorates you! 

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage focuses on treating injuries, muscular aches and pains and postural imbalances. When muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knotted and tense or immobile, remedial massage provides a healing treatment that can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow. Remedial massage wholistically treats the whole body and traces discomfort as far as possible back to the original cause, healing both the cause of the disorder as well as the symptoms.

Chinese Massage 

Chinese Massage is an ancient tradition, being part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This effective and comprehensive therapy is also closely related to Herbal Medicine, Acupuncture and Acupressure.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a form of Japanese massage based on acupressure points, stimulating the vital points along the body's meridians in order to encourage healing and maintaining good health.  Clients generally remained clothed during a Shiatsu Treatment and may be seated or lying down.

Lomi Lomi

Based on sacred Hawaiian healing techniques, Lomilomi is often regarded as the “Rolls Royce” of relaxation massages.  It incorporates long, sweeping over- & under-body strokes to promote a deep sense of wholeness and an opening of the heart in the spirit of Aloha.  Sessions may include Hawaiian energy practices and the use of hot stones and crystals.
