Vogler's Colon Therapy

The Colon massage was first introduced by a German doctor P. Vogel in 1950s. It is based on a gentle stimulation of specific points in the abdomen, which activates the intestinal muscles and releases stress. The therapy applies to problems such as intestinal sluggishness, stomach cramps, constipation and bloating. It also balances the bladder functions and enhance the blood and lymph circulation, as well as improves the functions of the vegetative nervous system.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese word literally meaning 'finger pressure'. One method is based on Chinese 'acupressure' while another is based on western anatomy and physiology. Many people combine the two. The Japanese Ministry of Health describes Shiatsu as follows:
"Shiatsu is a form of manual treatment simply using the thumb, fingers and palms. Through pressure on the human skin, it removes internal disturbances, promotes and maintains health and treats special complaints."
