Available treatments and techniques

The service catalogue covers different massage modalities and complementary therapies.

The therapist adapts the intensity and style according to the desired effect: reducing stress, relieving tension or increasing energy.

• Deep tissue massage: focuses on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue using firm pressure and slow, controlled movements. It is recommended for chronic muscle pain, stiffness, stress-related tension or discomfort from physical activity, poor posture or repetitive movements.
• Swedish massage: full-body treatment aimed at improving circulation and promoting relaxation through gentle strokes, with adjustable pressure in areas of greater muscle thickness.
• Hot stone massage: uses basalt stones heated up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit placed on different pressure points. Twice a month is suggested for people with physically demanding jobs.
• Cupping therapy (dry cupping): applies dry or pressure cups directly to tense or problem muscle areas. It is commonly used as a complement to other massages.
• Aromatherapy massage: incorporates a personalised blend of high-quality essential oils into the massage oil, chosen according to the desired effect (relaxing, energising or calming).
• Indian head massage: combines general body massage with traditional movements focused on the holistic treatment of body and mind. Includes head, hair, upper back, neck, arms and face, lasting approximately 45 minutes.
