If you are interested in powerful restorative and rejuvenating bodywork using cutting-edge…read moretechnology with the potential for life-altering benefits, La Royal AI + T.C.M. Wellness is the clinic for you.
I have visited this clinic on a couple of occasions and each time have left feeling completely de-stressed and reinvigorated, such is the strength of the innovative treatments that are provided. This is far from a conventional bodywork clinic offering only "feelgood" bodywork. Although relaxation massage is available, what the clinic is offering goes well beyond what Western visitors might be expecting, and should be approached with an open mind, as the results are incredibly worth it.
I have visited for therapeutic massage work, and found the massages themselves to be some of the best that I have yet experienced, including Thai massage. The clinic specializes in supplementary treatments to enhance the massage work, such as infra-red tools to soften up the tissue before the massage begins, which is an extremely effective way of preparing the body for a thorough massage with genuine healing benefits. I prefer strong deep tissue massage, and that was carried out expertly, completely releasing pain stored up in sore muscles that left me feeling euphoric.
I have also had massage combined with a special T.C.M. technique called moxibustion. I hadn't heard of it before, but I will never forget it now that I have experienced it. In essence, moxibustion is conducted by burning moxa leaves - known as mugwort in the West - near the skin's surface but not on it, in order to penetrate deep into the tissue and release blockages in the meridians that allow Yang energy to flow again. If that sounds too mystical, lol, I get it!
The technical description of it, according to a video I'll link to, is that it moxa burns at a different infrared wavelength that allows it to penetrate up to 10 mm beneath the skin to stimulate the functioning of activin, a protein complex involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism, homeostasis, immune response, wound repair and endocrine function, according to wiki.
What distinguishes La Royal AI + T.C.M. Wellness's approach here is through their adoption of a non-contact moxibustion machine that prevents the build up of smoke that could occur using the traditional moxibustion methods. This is therefore a smoother experience overall, although I found it to be an intense one first time around.
Not long after the session, I felt energized in a way that's hard to describe, and that new level of energy has remained with me, together with a real reduction in pain symptoms. It is also incredibly uplifting and nourishing, and I have been sleeping better too.
The clinic offers a range of other T.C.M. techniques using a variety of specialized medical equipment that would be hard to find outside of China, all verified by practitioners inside China, so well worth investigating.
Also notable was the exemplary level of service provided by Meena - the manager and therapy consultant - and her staff, customized to your specific needs. They are very caring, warm and knowledgeable, which is invaluable for those unfamiliar with the T.C.M. approach that augments more Western treatments such as massage.
Having experienced the benefits of the treatments described myself, I am extremely satisfied with the services on offer, and highly recommend a visit to this clinic if you are serious about improving your health and energy."
