The alternative therapists Susanne Reinthal and Renate Kotelmann offer the following range of medically based wellness treatments, at the hotel Ku' Damm 101 in Berlin, with times and places to suit your timetable:

Reflexology on feet, hands and ears
Reflexology zones are holographic pictures of the entire human body. An appropriate massage will flood the inner organs and tissues with vital energy.

Ear acupuncture
Acupuncture of the earlobe is popular as therapy for the musculoskeletal system.

Gua Sha
A scraper made of jade stone or buffalo horn instead of an acupuncture needle is used as an anti-pain massage tool.

Lymph drainage and oil massage
Lymph drainage improves the metabolism, using a transportation process which cleans the lymph. This stimulates the immune system and supports the self-healing processes of the body. Essential and natural oils help the subject to relax and just “drift away”.

Shiatsu
A holistic therapy, whereby the meridians of the body are treated. It originally comes from Japan. Gentle massage and pressure applied in particular ways create sensations that penetrate deep into the body to help find its natural balance. It also improves body posture.

Traditional massage
Is a reliable way of easing pain in strained muscles and is an aid to relaxation and the restoration of inner balance.
