Relax with a Therapeutic Massage

For men and women: Traditional therapeutic methods are being rediscovered as a means to combat stress and stress-related disorders, and are being used more and more as complementary to modern medicine.

Therapeutic Massage evokes many beneficial changes within the whole person. It is a powerful treatment because the nurturing touch of the hands on the body works on both physical and psychological levels, and can also relax and/or invigorate the person receiving it.

The techniques of Therapeutic Massage:

• ease pain or tension from stiff or aching muscles

• eliminate toxins
• soothe away mental stress
• restore emotional equilibrium

Kansa Vatki Foot Massage™

Kansa Vatki (KV) Foot Massage has been practised in India for centuries, following the tried and trusted Ayurvedic tradition. It is a wonderful and unique treatment that works holistically to balance mind body and spirit. At the heart of the treatment is the small, 3 metal bowl which helps to rebalance the tridosha of Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

The treatment uses clarified butter (ghee), or coconut oil. The kansa vatki is a small metal bowl containing zinc and copper which works on the feet and lower limbs during the treatment. The combination of copper and zinc has a powerful effect on the body’s energies, and is said to be more effective than gold and silver. This treatment involves working on the feet and lower limbs, with particular emphasis on marma points, Kansa Vatki movements and simple yet effective massage techniques. A soothing session helps to draw out excess heat, leaving the entire body cool, refreshed and relaxed.
