MANILA, Philippines - Our body operates 24/7 and like a machine, it requires tuning up once in a while to get it back to its original orientation. On the surface, shooting pain on the lower back, muscle aches, and stiff neck might be signs of excessive fatigue and stress, but on a deeper level, it is our body’s way of telling us that something is off beam and that it needs to be corrected immediately. And while our first instinct is to have a massage to ease the pain and discomfort, it actually takes more than simple kneading and pulling to fix the problem.
At Karada, expert therapists focus on the proper alignment of the body while restoring its natural balance by applying precise pressure on various points of the human body. The salon has its roots in Japan and employs ancient techniques known for their therapeutic and wellness benefits.
