 OSM is made up of a sequence of complex massage moves that create one flowing form, known as a 'kata' The traditional Chinese massage techniques from which these moves come from, date back over 5,000 years. From these origins grew the more complex systems of shiatsu, acupuncture and acupressure. Each of these therapies work with the meridians, which are channels of energy or 'Ki', which circulate the whole body. When these channels are clear, energy will move around freely and keep the body holistically balanced and harmonious. When the flow is impaired, due to illness, stress and tension, an energy block is created and can be felt as discomfort, either physically or emotionally. Using acupressure points, parts of the OSM treatment is specifically aimed at releasing these blockages. OSM also includes stretches to relieve muscular tension from sitting at a desk all day, relaxing and nuturing kneading strokes that ease stiff muscles and finally, percussion which stimulates and invigorates! The overall effect of the treatment is both relaxing and energizing.
