Moxibustion & Fascial Manipulation: A Powerful Duo for Holistic Healing

At The Human Garage, we’re known for blending ancient wisdom with modern bodywork to help our clients heal, reset, and thrive. One of the most effective combinations we offer is Fascial Manipulation followed by Smokeless Moxibustion—a powerful duo that targets both the physical and energetic systems of the body.

Fascial Manipulation: Releasing Deep Restrictions

Fascial Manipulation, developed by Italian physiotherapist Luigi Stecco, is a manual therapy technique that focuses on treating densified or restricted fascia—the web of connective tissue that supports muscles, nerves, and organs. By working along specific myofascial sequences, our therapists release tension, improve mobility, and relieve chronic pain at its root.

Moxibustion: Restoring Balance Through Heat

Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique that uses the heat from burning mugwort (moxa) to stimulate healing along the body’s meridians. At The Human Garage, we apply smokeless moxa after fascial work to calm the nervous system, promote energetic flow, and help the body fully absorb the treatment.

Why Moxibustion Works After Fascial Manipulation

Applying Moxibustion after fascial work offers several key benefits:

1. Consolidates the Effects of Manual Therapy

Fascial Manipulation activates deep tissue release. Moxibustion applied afterward anchors and integrates the changes by encouraging blood flow, heat, and Qi circulation in the treated areas.

2. Soothes the Nervous System

Fascial work can sometimes leave clients feeling stimulated or emotionally open. Moxa helps shift the body into a parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state, grounding the experience and supporting recovery.

3. Promotes Deep Relaxation and Energetic Balance

While fascial therapy addresses physical tension, moxibustion complements it by harmonizing energy pathways, especially when applied around key points such as the ears, lower back, or abdomen.

4. Reduces Residual Soreness

For clients who experience post-treatment soreness, smokeless moxa acts as a gentle, warming balm—reducing inflammation and promoting faster tissue healing.

A Unique Healing Experience at The Human Garage

Our integrated sessions often end with a few moments of smokeless moxibustion, tailored to the area of focus.
