Pressel massage

This massage developed as early as the middle of the twentieth century, first in Germany, then in Europe. Although its name evokes the word "pressure", Pressel massage is simply associated with the doctor who created it. Simeon Pressel defined his anthroposophically-inspired method as a means of "untying the knots of fate".

Disruptions in the circulation of vital energy flows gradually inscribe themselves in the musculature leading there to a loss of suppleness and elasticity. Pressel massage can be applied to any musculature affected by tension, crystallization, physical or emotional stress or inflammation. It goes to the painful points and seeks to unblock them through a specific movement performed with the fingers.

Rhythmic massage

Rhythmic massage is a form of classical massage inspired by the anthroposophical approach.

its basic gestures are: kneading, friction, effleurage. The therapist performs them according to differentiated rhythms, listening to the needs of the person being massaged.

With classical massage, the therapist uses a variety of techniques.

With rhythmic massage, tissues are mobilized from depth to periphery, in a supple, fluid and particularly airy way. Depending on the situation, movements can be performed with greater or lesser intensity, gently or vigorously, locally or more widely, slowly or rapidly.

As appropriate, an unction (application of specific oil) to an organ may complete the massage session.

Lymphatic drainage

Water is the basis of life. It ensures our body's molecular and cellular exchanges. Seventy percent of our organism is made up of this precious liquid.

In the body, the lymphatic system carries not only water, but also proteins, fat molecules, free cells and waste products towards the central venous system.

During a lymphatic drainage session, the massage uses circular movements performed at a very regular rhythm. It stimulates lymphatic and venous circulation. It acts as a regulator of the neuro-vegetative system. Stimulation of the lymph nodes is conducive to the production of antibodies, repair cells and the body's defense cells.

In cases of severe lymphedema, intensive bandage treatment is suggested.

Acid-base balance in the body

Acid-base balance is defined as the right level of acidity in our body. The unit of measurement is PH: hydrogen potential, which is easily measured via our urine and PH-testing blotters.

Poor food quality and certain eating habits, as well as stress, negative thoughts or poorly channeled aggression, promote excessive acidification of the body. In order to buffer this acidity, the body then draws on the alkaline mineral substances present in our reserves: bones, cartilage, teeth, etc.

Years of excess acidity can lead to demineralization conducive to osteoarthritis, arthritis, osteoporosis or dental caries, as well as a number of metabolic diseases.

Schüssler salts

At the end of the nineteenth century, German physician W. H. Schüssler developed a treatment he called "biochemical". He treated disorders and ailments with preparations containing mineral salts in potentized form, as he believed that with the help of minute quantities of the substance that was lacking, brought in from outside, an improvement in health could be achieved.

In the course of developing his therapeutic method, he thus selected 12 mineral salts with which normal cell functions can be comprehensively restored.

Dr. Schlüssler considered that the balanced presence of these twelve mineral substances within the organism ensures the good health of cellular life and the individual as a whole.
