Generally speaking, we can distinguish between full-body and partial-body massages. Most massages are a combination of full and partial massage and are concentrating on the most tense areas of the body. The different types of massages are characterized by the use of different tools and techniques.

One of the most popular types of massages is the classic or Swedish massage. In this type of massage, there is a direct link between the massage grip and the treated body area. The Swedish massage uses five styles of strokes. The five basic strokes are sliding, kneading, rhythmic tapping, friction and vibration. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain.

Another very popular massage is the Ayurvedic body massage. An Ayurvedic massage brings profound relaxation and relaxation of the skin and muscles. The massage therapists, in this type of massage, use specialized Dosha oil and continuous strokes and techniques, followed by the herbal formula scrub, to give you an intense and dynamic experience.

Another exotic and quite popular massage is the Thai massage. The traditional Thai massage is generally based on a combination of Indian and Chinese traditions of medicine. It is a deep, full-body massage progressing from the feet up, and focusing on your energy lines throughout the body, with the aim of clearing blockages in these lines.

Thanks to different cultures from all around the world and their traditions, today, we have countless types of massages.

Since nowadays, we live fast and hectic, and are usually sitting too much at work, or we are under a lot of stress, massages are no longer some kind of luxury, which we cannot or should not afford. Massages are actually necessary for our body. Our body is meant to be constantly moving, not sitting for 8 hours in an unnatural position. This and other things, which we do on a daily basis, can lead to body deformations, slow circulation and slow metabolism. In these types of situations, massages are the best cure. Massages can have many positive effects on your stress, depression and anxiety. During the massage the body feels completely calm, it is not tense anymore, and therefore, massages are not a luxury. They are essential for our well-being.
