Artmonia offers you a combination of bodywork modalities to help you achieve a state of balance within your body, mind, and spirit.

MASSAGE THERAPY:
Deep Tissue, Swedish; Sports Neuromuscular, Myofascal Release, Pre/Perinatal Massage.
REFLEXOLOGY:
Is an art and a science. It is the application of pressure using specific thumb and finger techniques over reflex points on the feet, hands, and/or ears that represent the different areas of all body systems. Reflexology stimulates the body through nerve pathways, helping with the process of homeostasis.

Reflexology has its roots in every ancient culture, demonstrating a link from early civilizations that continues even today. Wall carvings and paintings, papyrus renditions and oral histories offer vivid accounts of ancients healers applying pressure to the feet, which subsequently produce positive effects and resulted in better health.

CRANIO SACRAL THERAPY:
It was developed by Dr. John E. Upledger, an Osteopathic Physician. Cranio Sacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch approach that can create dramatic improvements in you life. You can remain fully clothed during a CST session. CST Use the central nervous system to find and improve the restrictions. By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, craniosacral therapy naturally eliminates pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and well being.

And because is is so gentle, craniosacral therapy can be effective for all ages, from newborns to elders.

ARVIGO MAYAN ABDOMINAL MASSAGE:
The Arvigo Techniques of Mayan Abdominal Therapy are founded on the ancient Maya technique of abdominal massage, which is an external non-invasive manipulation that repositions internal organs that have shifted , thereby restricting the flow of blood, lymph, nerve and chi.

Some of the causes can be the high impact the body is exposed to like in sports, running, jumping, dancing, accidents, etc. Also by the changes suffered during pregnancy and other reasons. Dr. Rosita Arvigo developed these techniques which now bear her name. She studied in Belize Central America with various traditional healers, the most notable of whom was Don Elijio Panti, the renowned Maya Shaman of Belize.

ACTIVE ISOLATED STRETCHING/STRENGTHENING (AIS):
AIS was developed by Mr. Aaron Mattes. The Mattes method employs full range of motion movements to contract and strengthen targeted muscles while at the same time stretch the opposing (antagonist) muscles. This simultaneous strength and flexibility training develops potency in the newly-stablished range of motion making it funtional and safe, while balancing soft tissue tone across the joint.

Mattes exercises promote range of motion, restore or develop brain-muscle connectivity, and increase muscle strength, as well as that of all other soft tissues, including fascia, tendons, and ligaments. In fact, as strength exercise, AIS promotes healthy bones. AIS is not only great for people with constant and demanding physical activity, but for anybody.

GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM
Was created by Juliu Horvath. Is an exercise system that uses Gyrotonic principles as the basis to exercise the musculature while mobilizing and articuiating the joints. It stretches and strengthens at the same time with minimal effort, while increasing the range of motion and developing the coordination.
