Ø  Thai Massage – This traditional healing massage of Thailand releases toxins and waste materials from the joints, muscles and connective tissue, and stimulates internal organs by applying gentle pressure on specific energy points. The massage is carried out on a mat or thin mattress, which is laid on the floor and the therapist, uses both their hands and feet to apply pressure to the client’s fully-clothed body.

A range of gentle stretching movements are also practised. The massage can last for up to 2 hours.

Ø  Ayurvedic Abhyanga Massage – India’s gift to the world. This is usually performed by one or two therapists using a heated blend of herbal oils that are believed to be based on the body’s dashsa. The aim is to loosen the excess doshas  through techniques such as kneading, rubbing and sqeezing. The feets are used in  chavutti thirummal,  a specialized technique where the therapist applies extra pressure using the feet.

Ø  Deep Tissue Massage – A massasge technique that focusses on the deeper layers of the muscle tissue to release the tension through slow strokes and deep finger pressure. It helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue and loosen muscle tissues, releasing toxins and allowing proper blood and oxygen circulation. Drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.

Ø  Hot Stone Massage – Basalt stones of various sizes, shapes and weighted are heated to an ideal temperature to impart heat along the chakra centres. The hardness of the stones gives an ideal deep tissue massage and the heat from the stones relaxes the muscles and increases the blood flow to the areas being worked upon. The heat also adds in mental relaxation and stress reduction.

Ø  Swedish Massage – Originated in Sweden, the technique involves a sequence if movements working superficially and deeper into the tissue layers stimulating the skin’s natural functions thereby improving its condition. The warmth created helps the body relax both physically and mentally. The massage sequence is adapted to the client’s needs.
