Oriental Style Massages
- Thai
massage:
This ancient technique from Thailand combines pressure
and gentle stretches along the energy pathways of the body called Ten Sen. It improves flexibility, joint mobility, blood flow
and gives an overall sensation of relaxation and lightness. Thai Massage is performed on a suitable mat on the
floor and the receiver wears light, loose-fitting clothing.
- Ayurvedic Marma Oil massage:
Ayurveda is the traditional Indian medical system and
means “science of life”. The “marmas” are trigger points located on specific
parts of the body. This very pleaseant oil massage is characterized by
long circular strokes along the body as well as smaller circles to stimulate
and balance the marma points.
Pressure is quiet light due to the generous quantity
of oil used that nourishes and
replenishes the skin leaving it both soft and hydrated. Blood and lynphatic
circulation are improved, toning and aiding recovery of the body.
- Indian Foot Oil Massage:
This is a very peculiar massage of the Indian
ayurvedic tradition performed with the giver balancing on a hanging rope and
using the feet. Long strokes along the body release muscle tension and
knots due to the application of deep pressure from the givers bodyweight. The receiver lays down on a thin mat with minimal
clothes on as a generous quantity of oil is needed to perform this valuable and
special technique, leaving one with a deep sense of relaxation and relief.
