Massage and Qigong are two complementary approaches to bodywork.

Qigong Therapy

Qigong is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that is thousands of years old. It is based on the theory that our life force energy (Qi) facilitates the flow of energy in our bodies. Illness occurs when qi becomes stagnate, creating turbid qi and results in imbalances in our physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

Massage therapy is not only a wonderful way to indulge or pamper yourself, it’s a powerful tool to help you take charge of your health and well-being. The York JCC is excited to offer our members massage therapy here in our facility.

In addition to traditional massage therapy, we also offer:

• Orthopedic Massage - Massage treatment of the cervical spine, shoulders, lumbar, hip, knee, and ankle muscles

• Hot Stone Massage - Soothing treatment using smooth, flat, heated stones placed on overworked muscles

• Cupping Therapy - An ancient healing technique using special cups that are placed on the skin to create suction, creating a deeptissue massage

• Myofascial Release Therapy - Massage technique that warms the fascia tissue to help relieve bound tissue and bring fresh nutrients to the area

• Prenatal Massage - Treatment to help relieve aches and pains and relax tense muscles due to pregnancy

• Oncology Massage - Light touch massage therapy for those living with the effects of cancer and cancer treatment; should be approved by physician
