In cases of persistent stress and extreme fatigue
Sometimes the body loses its natural rhythm.
You wake up feeling tired.
Your tension no longer really subsides.
Your mind remains active, even when you want to rest.
Symptoms pile up: a stiff neck or back, unexplained pain, skin that becomes more sensitive, a body that is constantly ‘switched on’.
During such periods, the body does not need extra stimulation, but a sense of safety.
A Fu Li session therefore begins by calming your breathing.
Gentle abdominal breathing and simple heart coherence exercises help your system to slow down. Your heart rate drops; your body senses that it no longer needs to fight or keep going.
From there, a targeted, deep tissue massage follows.
Through mindful touch, I invite your body to release tension, improve blood flow and feel space again where it was previously cramped.
We do not force anything.
We support what the body is already trying to do itself: heal.
After just a few sessions, many people notice that they sleep more deeply, experience less tension and once again feel moments of true tranquillity.
Fu Li means ‘Well-being’.
Not as an abstract ideal, but as a gradual return to balance.
Full-body relaxation massage:
Massaging and kneading the muscles and tissues using oil.
The client lies (almost) naked under a towel. The parts of the body being massaged are uncovered so that they can be reached.
During a foot massage, only the feet and lower legs are uncovered.
Chair massage (or hammam massage) is a form of shiatsu massage:
the client sits fully clothed in a special chair, leaning forwards onto a cushion.
The back, arms and head/neck are worked on using the thumbs, applying pressure or making small circular movements on specific shiatsu pressure points.
Head, neck and shoulder massage:
the client first sits, fully clothed, on the massage chair (see chair massage) for handling of the Chinese pressure points on the shoulders and back using fingers and thumbs.
The client after lies on its back, fully clothed, and the treatment of the head and neck continues.
Cupping: the client lies on its stomach with its upper body bare. Glass or plastic cups are placed on the back using suction.
These draw out the excess energy from the shoulders or back, or restore movement where there are blockages.
This process can leave red, circular marks on the skin in some people, which may remain visible for a few days.
Moxatherapy (Moxibustion):
the client lies on their stomach with their upper body uncovered. Burning moxa cones are applied to specific points on the back. (There is no risk of burns.)
Just as with hot stone therapy, the application of heat adds energy and releases energy blockages in your body.
Lymphatic drainage: a specific massage designed to promote the natural drainage of lymphatic fluid through very gentle and repetitive massage of the skinin the direction of the lymphatic vessels and around the lymph nodes.
Enhanced drainage may be required following trauma (swelling caused by a blow, fracture or inflammation).
This massage is also carried out (particularly on the head and shoulders) to rejuvenate the tissues
Hot Stone: This is similar to a relaxation massage.
In addition, warm stones are used during the massage. The added heat helps to release energy blockages in your body and replenishes energy where there is a deficiency.
This massage is also a very pleasant, warming massage, particularly in autumn and winter.
