Varieties of Relax Massage

Relaxation massage can be performed in specialized salons and medical centers, as well as at home. At the same time, masters of relax massage can use different types, techniques and methods. Some of the most well-known and popular include:

Burmese

This type of relaxing massage refers to therapeutic massage, can be prescribed to eliminate various diseases or as their prevention. When performing this technique, fists, fingers and the ribs of the palms are used. The impact is made on the joints and muscle ligaments of deep work. During the session, light music is played for a harmonious emotional background. Work on the body begins with the head and face with light pressure on the acupuncture points. Further on, there are light stroking movements on the neck and down to the back along the spine. The central part of the back is massaged with fists and ribs, pressing intensely to stimulate deeper muscles and tissues. The massage is completed with light strokes and relaxing strokes over the entire back. A light herbal tea is suggested after the session.

Californian

This type of massage is notable for its comprehensive approach. It treats a person as a single center of energy and connects the physiology of emotions and thoughts. The work is done all over the body using classical movements: rubbing, stroking and tingling. During work, the master uses points to activate and improve energy flow throughout the body. When working in the Oriental technique, additional accessories (scrapers and rollers) are used. With the help of this technique it is possible to increase muscle tone, skin elasticity, and to bring the nervous system in order.

The work starts from the upper back, with smooth, smoothing movements down the entire surface, going down to the calf muscles. Then the patient is turned over and the work continues on the chest, arms and abdomen. This massage finishes with light stroking actions all over the body.

Greek

This Hellenic technique dates back to ancient Greece, where scented oils were actively used. A distinctive feature of this type of relaxing massage is the use of different cosmetics and fragrances (sprays, oils, essences), with each part of the body using their specialized products. For example, for the back, coconut oil with thyme and rosemary is used, while essential oils from cedar or fir are used for the breasts.

The Greek method is characterized by working through each part of the body for about 7-12 minutes. This is enough for the muscles to come back to normal, and the cosmetic products used are absorbed into the skin and give a positive result.

Thanks to this approach, the Hellenic method is considered the best if you want to improve your skin and relieve psychological stress. You can safely perform this procedure on a daily basis without fear of harming yourself.

Tibetan

The main principle of work in this technique is to consider and manage the body as a whole with an emphasis on acupuncture points. This is why this technique is also called “acupressure point”. The Tibetan massage requires strict adherence to the rules of the procedure:

• The work begins at the top of the head and ends with the soles of the feet.
• A specialized product is used for each part of the body.
• The entire session should not last more than 2 hours.
• The choice of acupuncture point exposure for each client is individual.
• After the session is over, pea or barley flour is rubbed into the skin.

This helps to achieve the maximum effect of detoxification and purification of the body from harmful substances and toxins.

The work is performed using massaging, stroking and tweaking movements, with active stimulation of energy points. A Tibetan massage session at our massage center can also include the practices of smoke cleansing, meditation and mantra recitation.

The Tibetan type also includes “sound” massage. Bowls of different size and material are individually selected for this procedure. Conducting on the bowls with a special tool, the sound is produced. It is the sound that has a positive effect on the nervous system, helping to relax and get rid of psychological disorders.
