Massage

Massage is an ancient therapeutic practice that involves manipulating and pressing the soft tissues of the body in order to release muscle tension, relieve pain and induce a general state of relaxation and well-being. In our parlour you can have the following types of massage:

Shiatsu massage is a Japanese massage technique based on applying pressure along the body’s energy meridians using the fingers, palms and even the elbows. This pressure is applied to specific pressure points, known as ‘tsubo’, to balance the flow of energy and promote general well-being.

Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deep layers of muscle tissue, using more intense pressure and slow, deep strokes.

Deep tissue massage can be intense and can sometimes cause mild discomfort, but it is effective for people seeking more intense therapy to treat muscle and joint problems.

Bamboo massage involves using bamboo stalks as massage tools to apply pressure and kneading movements to the body. Bamboo stalks are smooth and slightly elastic, allowing them to glide over the skin in a fluid way. This type of massage can help relax muscles, release tension and stimulate blood circulation, providing a pleasant and invigorating experience.

Reflexology is a therapy based on the principle that certain pressure points on the feet, hands and ears correspond to organs and systems in the body. By applying pressure and massage to these reflex points, energy balance is stimulated and the healthy functioning of these organs and systems is supported. Reflexology can help to relax, reduce stress, stimulate circulation and promote general well-being.

Hot stone massage helps relax muscles, relieve tension and improve blood circulation. The warmth of the stones can also promote a state of deep calm and relaxation, inducing a feeling of pampering and bliss.

Aromatherapy massage is a form of therapeutic massage that uses essential oils to enhance the benefits of massage.

Each essential oil has specific properties, such as relaxing, energising, relieving pain or stimulating circulation. Aromatherapy massage not only relaxes muscles and relieves tension, but also helps to balance the emotional and mental state, helping to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
