Massage Therapy
Jamie's Signature Massage
Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is performed on a massage table. During treatment, the therapist, supported by parallel wooden bars suspended from the ceiling, applies deep foot pressure to strategic points along the spine and body to achieve maximum muscle compression. Ashiatsu's one and two-footed strokes distribute pressure evenly over a large area of the body, thereby providing deep, relaxing massage without the pain often associated with traditional deep tissue massage.
Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy decreases inflammation, increases lymphatic flow, and stimulates the body's own self healing capabilities. Following treatment, clients experience deep relaxation, pain relief, improved posture, and enhanced physical structure and balance. Ashiatsu is highly effective for large athletes, individuals with thick musculature, and people who enjoy deep tissue massage. It is also recommended for individuals who suffer from chronic neck and back pain, scoliosis, bulging/herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and spondylosis. Although beneficial for many, Ashiatsu is not for everyone. Please inform your therapist of health conditions and medication prior to receiving treatment as contraindications may apply.

Fijian Massage
Jamie Pettiette Rhone and Candace Pierce received 18 hours of continued education in Fijian massage in San Antonio. This was the first time for the class to be brought to Texas and we are proud to be the only ones in East Texas to offer this amazing new massage modality, says Rhone.
Fijian massage is very popular because clients want a therapeutic deep massage that is also relaxing. Deep Tissue Massage using elbows is a “sharp” pain. With the Fijian, the main deep work is with the heel. This deep pressure is softer than an elbow, yet it is a stronger stroke. As a bonus, clients often find that the repair
happens much quicker with the Fijian Barefoot Massage.
Jamie's Therapeutic Touch Day Spa clients, range from 97 lbs to +325 lbs, are frequently amazed at the convenience and the exceptional results. For those clients who have complained of light pressure in other work, this should be a welcomed relief. As with any deep tissue work, doctor's recommendation is advised. Fijian Massage manipulates tissue, helps in passive stretching and assess range of motion. Thus the principles of Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, and various Sports Massage and Deep Tissue and even cross-fiber friction techniques may be applied more effectively, producing more therapeutic progress and healing per session for the more sophisticated and demanding clients, such as professional dancers, and athletes. Just like "riding a bicycle", once you experience this modality, it will be hard to go back to just "walking". Fijian Massage does not include walking on the client's back as one foot remains standing on the floor. Fijian Massage is deeper and often more therapeutic than types of massage utilizing the hands . If you think about it, the foot has stronger bones and the leg muscles are more powerful than the arm, says Pettiette Rhone.

The Background on Raindrop Therapy
The Raindrop Technique (RT), developed by researcher and essential oil expert D. Gary Young, has received an enormous amount of praise from users around the world for its ability to help ameliorate spinal abnormalities (scoliosis and kyphosis) and facilitates tissue cleansing.
It is a powerful, non-invasive tool for assisting the body in correcting defects in the curvature of the spine. During the years that it has been practiced, it has resolved numerous cases of scoliosis and kyphosis and eliminated the need for back surgery for thousands of people. It integrates Vita Flex and massage, with the power of essential oils in bringing the body into structural and electrical alignment. Raindrop Technique (RT) is based on the Theory that many types of scoliosis and spinal misalignments are caused by viruses or bacteria that lie dormant along the spine. These pathogens create inflammation, which, in turn, contorts and disfugures the spinal column.
This use of essential oils in Raindrop Technique closely follows the French model for essential oil use-which is the most extensively practiced and studied model in the world. With over 40 years experience of using essential oils clinically, the French have consistently recommended the neat (undiluted) use of essential oils.
The Raindrop Techinque
Raindrop Technique uses a sequence of highly antimicrobial essential oils designed to simultaneously reduce inflammation and kill the responsible viral agents. The oils are dispensed like little drops of rain from a height of about six inches above the back muscles. Although the entire process takes about 45 minutes to complete, the oils will continue to work in the body for up to one week following treatment, with continued re-alignment taking place during this time.
Using only the purist essential oils, Raindrop Therapy gently detoxifies the body and alignes the spine. All your senses are enveloped, leaving you completely relaxed and ready to deal with the stresses of today’s world.
The Raindrop Technique is not a cure-all or a magic bullet. A healthy balanced body is the result of a well-rounded program of exercise and proper diet. Health is everything we do, say, hear, see, and eat. The Raindrop Technique is only one tool to help restore balance in the body that will relult in good health.
