When suffering from aches, pains, stiffness or minor injuries, our instant reaction is to rub or hold the affected area to ease any discomfort. Massage was used by Arabic, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine to ease pain and aid relaxation. The Greeks used massage to treat athletes, the Romans used it to stimulate blood flow. There are many benefits of massage as is proved by the use of this practice over millennia. At Shen Zen Holistics we offer Swedish Massage which uses techniques to increase lymph and blood flow and Aromatherapy Massage which uses the same techniques and incorporates the use of essential oils to enhance the healing properties of the treatment.
Bamboo massage is an innovative way to provide sports, deep tissue and trigger point massage using heated bamboo to roll and knead the tissue to create an extreme sensation of relaxation and well-being. Bamboo massage is also used as a powerful preventive therapy against modern-day stress and to aid relief from many physical and emotional problems.
Warm bamboo massage uses solid bamboo sticks of different lengths and diameters to massage the body. The sticks are gently warmed and applied to give deep and long massage strokes to break down tension and stretch tight and sluggish muscles. Stimulation of the tissue by the bamboo sticks is believed to relieve this “sluggish state”, by dissipating the heat that results from an accumulation of toxins and poor circulation, as would occur through deep tissue massage, trigger-point activation, or various acupressure techniques.
Please note, if there is a lot of odema or cellulite, this treatment can feel uncomfortable, but the results even after one treatment are noticeable.

If you are looking for a rejuvenating massage treatment, there’s nothing better than a warm bamboo massage.
Considered to be one of the most multifaceted plants on earth, bamboo has earned its reputation from its holistic and soft appearance, as well as from its perseverance under harsh conditions.

Reiki has been described as “a word, as an energy, and as a holistic healing system”. The Japanese word Reiki (‘Ray-Kee’) translates as ‘universal life-force energy’ or ‘spiritual energy’ but can have several different meanings. The ‘Ki’ or life force energy operates at a high vibrational frequency and runs throughout all living things. In relation to the human body, energy flows through a fine network of channels within the body. It also flows outside the body as an energy field known as the aura. Reiki energy vibrates as a spiritual energy faster than the Ki in the physical body and can move through it to remove blockages and promote healing. Ki is also known as Chi, Qi, and Prana in other languages. The source of Reiki can be described in several different ways depending on your own belief system. As it is not affiliated with any religion, this could be God, the Source, the Universe or as part of your Higher Self. Reiki was developed as a holistic healing system by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. As a treatment it involves lying or sitting in a fully clothed and comfortable position whilst the therapist places their hands non-intrusively on the body in a sequence of positions. Reiki supports and enhances other treatments but should not be regarded as a cure or alternative to medicine. This beautiful life-force energy flows through the physical and energy bodies to remove blockages and promote healing. Some people feel warmth or tingling, but experiences are very subjective. Reiki can never do any harm and is intended for the highest good of the recipient, but removing emotional blockages can cause feelings to arise. Reiki is a deeply relaxing, peaceful and enjoyable treatment suitable for physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual healing.
Meditation has been practiced by people for thousands of years and is not some exotic or religious practice reserved only for those who are holy, devout or knowledgeable. Meditation, put simply, is making a choice to focus the mind on something, you could say reading a book or watching TV is a form of meditation. It does not require any faith or belief and can be accessed by anyone. It can help you create a happier life just by trying to focus your mind in positive ways. This can be difficult to do on your own at first which is why it can be helpful to have some guidance. Here at Shen Zen Holistics we offer guided meditations which can benefit you in many ways and get you started with this wonderful and beneficial practice.
Ear candles are an ancient and natural therapy used widely by many civilisations. They are named after a native American tribe who had great medicinal knowledge and spirituality. It is a gentle and non-invasive therapy and the safe production of heat, combined with the natural ingredients in the candle help to ease pain and discomfort. As well as physical benefits, it is a very relaxing treatment and includes a lymphatic drainage facial massage to help reduce inflammation, drain the sinuses and helps to stimulate the facial muscles.
Reflexology is the application of pressure to areas on the feet (or the hands). Reflexology is generally relaxing and may help alleviate stress.
The theory behind reflexology is that areas of the foot correspond to organs and systems of the body. Pressure applied to the foot is believed to bring relaxation and healing to the corresponding area of the body.
Reflexologists use foot charts to guide them as they apply pressure to specific areas. Reflexology is sometimes combined with other hands-on therapies and may be offered by chiropractors and physical therapists, among others.
Several studies indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as stress and anxiety, and enhance relaxation and sleep. Given that reflexology is also low risk, it can be a reasonable option if you’re seeking relaxation and stress relief.
