Massage therapy. This type of natural therapy relies on the healing power of physical touch to relieve stress and treat disease. A trained therapist will manually manipulate a person’s muscles and soft tissues. The therapist will press, push, pull and rub the affected area. There are various types of massage therapy as well and the most popular ones are Swedish massage, sports massage and relaxation massage.
Reflexology. Reflexology is a natural therapy used to release trapped energy from certain trigger points in the body. Under this treatment, the therapist will use special finger and hand techniques to apply pressure to areas of the foot that represent certain parts of the body. Each part of the body has a specific area on the foot and the area of the foot being treated is directly related to the body part that requires healing.
Acupuncture. Under this treatment, tiny needles are inserted into various trigger points in the body to alleviate symptoms and release internal energy blockages. Acupuncture is generally painless and is used to stimulate total healing of the body and mind.
