Bamboo Massage

Origin: Asia

 

The bamboo massage is an impressive, deeply relaxing massage with bamboo sticks that combines the energy of bamboo with a particularly deep relaxation experience.

It has its origins in tropical and Asian regions. There, bamboo is a symbol of grace and strength and symbolises life energy, prosperity, eternal youth, longevity and peace.

Bamboo sticks of various sizes are used to release deep-seated tensions through different massage techniques and efficient bodywork. Individual parts of the body are massaged by rubbing, rolling, pressing and tapping with the sticks. In the process, the natural energy of the bamboo is passed on to body, mind and soul.

 

Due to the different sizes of the bamboo sticks used, each part of the body can be treated individually. The sticks are warmed up beforehand and the skin is also pampered with a nourishing essential oil to prepare it for the massage. During the massage, this massage tool evenly releases the heat to the body, thus providing a pleasantly warm, relaxing feeling and enhancing the positive effects of the massage.

 

In addition, local tensions are released, the tissue is thoroughly stimulated and the blood circulation is also vigorously stimulated. This in turn supports the lymph flow and a drainage effect is achieved. Depending on the intensity and temperature, the sticks provide an efficient muscle and connective tissue massage. The skin is smoothed and tightened.

 

Sensory perception is also considerably stimulated during this extraordinary and exotic massage. The natural energetic property of bamboo touches body, mind and soul in equal measure.

Hot Stone

Origin: Asian, Pacific and American regions.

 

More than 2000 years ago, people in many cultures already knew about the beneficial and healing effects of warm and cold stones. The combination of warm and cold stimuli, a massage and oils, which are also used in aromatherapy, appeals to body, mind and senses - the secret of every good wellness treatment.

 

The hot stone massage is a very old traditional form of massage. The basis is the hot stones, which are heated to approx. 55 - 60 °C in warm water. Only basalt stones are used, as they are excellent heat accumulators due to their volcanic origin. These basalt stones are flat because they have been washed away by water. The sharp edges have been eroded in the process and are now round for gentle treatment. The hot stones are not only placed on the body, they also serve as a massage tool.

 

A warm-up phase initiates the massage, during which warm stones are placed on your body as well as underneath. Then you will experience the actual massage. The hot stones are used as massage tools in different shapes and weights. Small pebbles are placed between the toes of your feet and larger stones are placed on strong muscles and massaged with the different curves of the stones. During this process, you will enjoy massage oils that are also used in aromatherapy. An absolute must is the resting phase after the treatment. The soothing effect of the massage is sustainably enhanced by the application of the stones.

 

The warmth of the hot stones enhances the effect of the actual massage and intensifies it. Deep relaxation is the positive side effect. The vascular activity is comprehensively stimulated, the metabolism is increased and the cardiovascular system is given a real boost. The cells are enriched with oxygen through the stimulated blood circulation and the lymph flow is improved, waste products are removed accordingly.

 

The massage can lead to tiredness and exhaustion due to the deep relaxation. However, this is only a temporary phase. Beyond that, an energetic phase full of vitality follows.

The hot stone massage is powerful and intense, although at the same time it is deeply relaxing and vitalising - a combination that distinguishes and sets this massage apart from many others.

Classic massage

The term "massage" refers to a mechanical, mostly manual, influence on the skin, the deeper tissue and the musculature. Classic massage is the most frequently used form of massage and is mainly used for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

 

Massage is one of the world's oldest methods of treatment, already found in Chinese writings dating back to 2600 BC and in the Indian art of healing.

During the Middle Ages, massage methods were partially forgotten. It was not until the 16th century that the French surgeon Ambroise Paré (1510-1590) used massage again for rehabilitation after operations and thus re-established the treatment in medicine.

 

The Swedish masseur Pehr Henrik Ling (1776-1839) is considered one of the fathers of today's classical Western massages. The classical massage is therefore also called the Swedish massage. Ling's notes also contained references to various massage techniques. These were later taken up by the Dutch doctor Johan Georg Mezger (1839-1909) and the German orthopaedic surgeon Albert Hoffa (1859-1907), who developed the massage techniques of classical massage that are in use today.

 

Today, classical massage is the most commonly used form of manual therapy.

Herbal stamp massage

Origin: Far East

 

Warm oils and powerful massage strokes, gentle stamp pressure and fragrant herbal essences: The fascination of the healing herbal stamp massage arises from the different means and techniques that it combines in a wonderful way. The result is a soothing treatment that has a positive effect on the entire organism. Stress and worries disappear in the warm herbal steam, which shows its comprehensive effect long after the treatment.

 

The herbal stamp massage is one of the traditional healing methods in various Far Eastern cultures. The application of herbal sachets heated in steam has a tradition dating back thousands of years.

 

During the massage itself, very different grips and techniques can be combined with each other. The massage therapist alternates between different massage techniques and stamps with the herbal sachet, which trigger a short and intense heat stimulus on the skin. It is this combination that provides blood circulation to the entire tissue, loosens muscles and ensures an all-round positive body feeling.

 

For this reason, the herbal stamp massage is also recommended, for example, to relieve pain and discomfort in the musculoskeletal system. Warm oils or steam provide additional relaxation and the exotic herbs with their irresistible scent have a double effect:

 

The vapours are absorbed through the respiratory tract and transmitted directly to the nervous system, where they have a stimulating or relaxing effect, depending on the contents of the herbal stamps, and increase inner well-being. The massage also has a skin and tissue tightening effect. Through the hot steam or the warm oil, the active ingredients of the herbs penetrate through the fabric bag to the skin, where they can be absorbed directly.

 

The holistic effect of the herbal stamp massage should also be mentioned: In various cultural circles, it is said to have an energetic, balancing, dissolving effect that takes into account not only the physical, but also the mental-mental level. Thus, a whole range of different beneficial effects come into play in the herbal stamp massage, which in combination cover a particularly wide range of effects.

 

Some of the effects attributed to it you will already feel in your own body during the first treatment.

Lomi Lomi

Origin: Hawaii

 

lomi = to knead or press (the doubling reinforces this meaning).

nui = big, important or unique

Lomi Lomi Nui = "unique strong kneading".

 

Lomi Lomi Nui, also called Lomi Lomi, is a traditional Hawaiian massage form. In its original form, it resembles therapeutic bodywork rather than a massage and treats not only the body but also the soul.

 

Lomi Lomi comes from the traditional healing art of Hawaii and was part of the local naturopathy, especially the herbal medicine practised by shamanic healers. It was thus part of the treatment of diseases as well as of rituals, for example the ordination of priests. Each healer developed his own massage style according to family tradition and lore, so that even in Hawaii there has never been only one "real" Lomi style.

 

A lot of oil is used in this massage. The practitioner works not only with the hands, but with the entire forearm including the elbows. The movements are basically flowing and slightly rocking. The "real" treatment is accompanied by Hawaiian music and chants, to which the masseur moves in rhythm around the massage table.

 

The massage can also vary in strength within a treatment. It can be very gentle and soothing, but also painful to release deep-seated tensions. The treatment starts with the back, which according to the shamanic view is the place of the past. Then the front part of the body is worked on, with the belly as the place of feelings and memories.

The massage releases blockages on a physical and mental level and restores the harmony of body, mind and soul.

Thai Massage

Origin: India, later Thailand

 

Despite the term "massage" used, Thai massage is not a massage in the classical sense. The original Thai massage Nuad Phaen Boran is a massage art whose origins go back a long way. Its founder, Dr. Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, personal physician of the Indian royal family and friend of the Buddha, used this massage art more than 2500 years ago. Later, this form of massage was also spread in Thailand and cultivated and further developed by the monks. The energy that flows through the body (prana, chi or life force) as well as the energy channels (meridians, nadis or sen sib) are the focus of this massage.

 

Traditional Thai massage (Nuad Phaen Boran), like most Far Eastern techniques, is a method that focuses on the interplay of body, mind and spirit. It is about harmonising the body. In this massage, the masseur works along the energy pathways, the meridians. Only when the energy of life can flow freely can blockages be released and body, mind and soul become one.

 

A Thai massage involves both the energetic and the physical parts of the body. The sequence is from foot to head. The body is moved, loosened and stretched in exactly this order by the therapist using various techniques.

 

In traditional Thai massage, you lie on an appropriate, slightly thicker mat on the floor, as the therapist uses his whole body for the massage. In addition, stretches and postures of varying intensity are used. Alternating pressure is applied to specific areas of the body with the palms, fingers, elbows, forearms, knees and legs.
