Behind the name...
The harmonious balance of the FIVE ELEMENTS are the key components of a healthy life. In Chinese philosophy the Five Elements of Fire, Earth, Metal, Wood and Water are the five basic aspects of Qi, or life energy.
Our program offers
The 5 Elements:
FIRE: Sports Massage, Deep Tissue, Movement, Exercise, Heat Therapy
EARTH: Hot Stones, Mud and Salt Treatments
METAL: Sound Therapy with Singing Bowls, Use of Crystals (Crystals are considered metal in the Five Element Theory)
WATER: Aquatic Therapy, Craniosacral Fluid (CSF) Therapies such as Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
WOOD: Treatments using essential oils made from trees, bark, roots and flowers
Although Five Elements Integrative Therapy is predominantly a Western-based myomassology program, the integration of the Chinese Five Element theory is studied for the purpose of understanding personality traits, assessing a client’s needs and healing trauma. During the Shiatsu and Aquatic Therapy courses in our curriculum, the knowledge is beneficial.
