STONE MASSAGE
Hot stone massage does not constitute a stand-alone technique but draws on different elements ranging from Chinese medicine to the Ayurvedic discipline to acupuncture and Western physiotherapy. It consists of relaxing, draining, and decontracting manual techniques performed with hands and stones, and with the help of vegetable oil along with decontracting essential oils such as mandarla oil.
BENEFITS
From the osteo-articular point of view, the benefits of Stone massage are:
– An increase in circulation,
– A decrease in inflammation,
* muscle relaxation and general relaxation, with loosening of even mental tensions, due to the myorelaxant thermal effect;
* a lymphatic drainage resulting in decreased pain in arthritis, low back and neck pain, due to the decongestant and antalgic activity performed by heat on tissues;
* Relaxation of bony structures, especially the spine, due to the action.
THAI YOGA MASSAGE
Thai massage releases energy, increases vascular activity, and promotes the elimination of toxins. Very indicated for problems such as neuralgia, lordosis, or depression-related disorders such as insomnia.
A Thai massage session leaves the body relaxed and the mind ready, clear, and free of thoughts. The sessions relax the muscles, improve the nervous system.
THE TECHNIQUE.
Vigorous and deep pressures, cadenced by a slow and measured rhythm, carried out mainly with the thumbs and palms of the hands (digito pressures-compressions) as well as with the aid of other parts of the body (feet, elbows, knees), interspersed with small stretches (stretching).
* Type pressures on energy channels, defined as Sen, go to balance the function of organs and systems.
* Stretching maneuvers, stretches, elongations and spinal twists characteristic of the Yoga tradition create an effect of flexibility and fluidity of the body.
* The steady, deep rhythm of the pressures calms the mind and creates a state of deep relaxation and lightness, almost a hypnotic effect.
