Services
Swedish Massage
This classic technique uses long strokes and kneading movements to improve circulation while relieving muscle tension. Ideal for stress reduction and general relaxation, it works on superficial muscle layers using varying pressure levels. Clients benefit from enhanced blood flow and toxin removal through structured effleurage and petrissage techniques.
Deep Tissue Massage
Targeting deeper muscle layers, this treatment addresses chronic tension and scar tissue through focused pressure techniques. Using elbows and forearms, it breaks down adhesions while improving mobility and reducing inflammation. Particularly effective for posture-related pain and sports injuries, it promotes long-term muscular realignment and recovery.
Indian Head Massage
Originating from traditional Ayurvedic practices, this seated treatment focuses on head, neck, and shoulder areas without requiring undressing. It relieves tension headaches and eye strain while promoting lymphatic drainage. Particularly beneficial for office workers, it offers convenient stress relief through targeted acupressure techniques.
Kansa Vatki Foot Massage
This ancient treatment uses a bronze bowl and herbal oils to stimulate foot reflexology points. Combining exfoliation with rhythmic massage, it improves circulation while reducing foot fatigue. The 60-minute session includes leg massage and sugar scrub, making it ideal for those with prolonged standing requirements.
Pregnancy Massage
Specifically adapted for expectant mothers, this treatment uses side-lying positioning with supportive cushions. It addresses common discomforts like back pain and swelling through gentle techniques that enhance circulation. Sessions range from 30 to 90 minutes, focusing on comfort and safety throughout pregnancy.
