Services

Assessments

An assessment involves several Medica practitioners being involved in the treatment of the client and, directed by the assessor (usually Spiros Platon Antoniades), assessing how to best address the client’s needs.

These practitioners may include body therapists, dieticians, energy therapists, counsellors and/or personal trainers. All decisions on treatment are made collaboratively with the client, the assessor and the practioners.

Client-assessor regular meetings observe and adjust the treatments according to the progress made. Alternatively, if clients wish, they can seek treatment from any of the individual practitioners.

Affordable Acupuncture

A purely energetic form of therapy that uses the body’s innate electromagnetic field to promote healing in every bodily aspect (organic, hormonal, skeletal, soft tissue, psycho-emotional).

Myotherapy and Massage

Massage is the most popular tactile form of therapy, primarily used to treat muscular conditions, but also effective in reducing any kind of excess stress and assisting in regaining postural balance. Therapeutic, relaxation, sports, aromatherapy and pregnancy massage are available.

Myotherapy uses the most advanced massage techniques (cupping, dry needling on trigger points, specialised stretching and therapeutic exercises, electrotherapies, lymphatic drainage, thermotherapies) to treat all musculoskeletal conditions. The myotherapist uses the most current assessment methods (including orthopedic testing) to differentially diagnose the exact nature of a problem.

Chinese and Medicinal Herbs

The use of herbal formulas are individually designed and prescribed to assist in treating primarily internal conditions.

Craniosacral Therapy

Uses gentle non-intrusive techniques to free restrictions of the soft tissue, bone structure, and central nervous system. The practitioner (Spiros Platon Antoniades) facilitates rather than induces a change. The client decides upon the level of physical and/or emotional change.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a bodywork therapy that incorporates the theory of oriental medicine to create balance in the energy flow, which is considered to be essential for health and well-being. It utilizes pressure points along with other manual therapy techniques.

Reviews

“I underwent a myotherapy treatment for the first time at Medica through Groupon discount. Spiros helped me with my longstanding shoulder pain. He practiced cupping, dry needle and point therapy and recommended me food supplements and an ointment. After only one session it was gone. It is very tiny clinic, where every single inch of space matters, but it has very nice and serene atmosphere. Definitely recommended!”

“Customer service was horrible, man was abrupt, pushy and clearly didn’t want to be there. This made it extremely difficult to relax, and felt like a cheap massage at an express asian parlor- I will not be going back there.”
