Ayurvedic Marma Massage

Ayurvedic Marma Massage is a deeply restorative and therapeutic bodywork treatment rooted in the ancient healing science of Ayurveda. This holistic therapy focuses on stimulating (by hand) marma points—vital energy centers in the body where muscles, veins, ligaments, bones, and joints intersect. These points are considered gateways to physical, mental, and emotional well-being, and their activation helps restore the flow of prana (life energy) throughout the body.

The massage is performed using warm medicated oils (not essential oils!), which are specially prepared herbal infusions selected according to your individual constitution (dosha) and specific health concerns. These oils are then just massage mediums, they deeply nourish the skin and tissues, support detoxification, calm the nervous system, and carry the healing properties of the herbs directly into the body.

The treatment integrates a rhythmic sequence of traditional techniques, including effleurage (long, flowing strokes to relax the body and mind), tapping (to awaken the body’s energetic pathways), cupping motions (to create gentle suction and improve circulation), and rubbing and kneading (to ease muscular tension and support lymphatic flow). Additionally, the therapist applies focused pressure to specific marma points and incorporates chakra massage to balance the body’s subtle energy centers and promote deep inner harmony.

A powerful addition to this therapy is Pinda Sweda, a rejuvenating technique in which warm herbal boluses (pindas)—cloth bundles filled with therapeutic herbs, rice, or other medicated substances—are massaged over the body. These boluses are soaked in warm medicated oil or steam and then rhythmically pressed and moved across the skin. Pinda Sweda enhances muscle relaxation, reduces stiffness and inflammation, improves circulation, and allows the healing herbs and oils to penetrate deeply into the tissues.

Benefits of Ayurvedic Marma Massage with Medicated Oils and Pinda Sweda include:

• Deep detoxification and nourishment of the tissues (dhatus)

• Improved blood and lymphatic circulation

• Relief from muscular tension, joint pain, and chronic stiffness

• Calming of the nervous system and reduction of stress and anxiety

• Enhanced digestion and metabolic balance

• Strengthening of the immune system and increase in vitality

• Balancing of the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha)

• Activation and alignment of the chakras and subtle energy flow

• A profound sense of grounding, clarity, and emotional well-being

Sports and Remedial Massage

Sports and Remedial Massage is a specialized and highly effective form of therapeutic bodywork designed to enhance physical performance, accelerate recovery, and prevent injury. It is commonly used by athletes to address the repetitive strain and physical demands of training and competition—but it’s equally beneficial for non-athletes. Whether you’re someone who exercises occasionally, sits at a desk all day, and/or experiences chronic tension and movement restrictions, sports massage can be tailored to meet your needs.

Folllowing a short consultation to explore needs and discuss problems this therapy may involve the use of general massage techniques such as deep tissue techniques and also integrates a variety of advanced manual techniques to target specific muscles, fascia, and joint structures:

• Neuromuscular Technique (NMT): A precise method that targets trigger points and chronic muscle tightness, helping to restore balance, relieve referred pain, and improve muscle function.

• Soft Tissue Release (STR): Combines pressure with specific stretches to lengthen and realign muscle fibers, particularly useful in areas of scar tissue or adhesions from overuse or injury.

• Muscle Energy Technique (MET): A gentle, active technique where the client engages specific muscles against controlled resistance to restore normal range of motion, improve joint function, and reduce tension.

• Myofascial Release (MFR): A slow, sustained technique that works on the fascial system (the connective tissue surrounding muscles), releasing restrictions that can limit movement and contribute to pain.

A combination of the above mentioned thechniques are used during a session depending on the problem presented and/or the desired outcome. Pressure can be high or low and anywhere in between. It is constantly monitored and is adjusted according to the needs of the tissues to achieve the most benefit.

If you are and athlete these techniques can be applied during the training cycle, pre- or post-event, or as part of a regular maintenance routine.

Benefits of Sports & Remedial Massage with Advanced Techniques:

• Reduces muscular tension and chronic pain by targeting deep tissue dysfunction with precise techniques like NMT

• Improves flexibility and range of motion through active and passive stretching, STR, and MET

• Enhances recovery and performance by increasing circulation and promoting faster removal of metabolic waste

• Breaks down adhesions and scar tissue using myofascial and deep tissue release, supporting optimal tissue repair

• Supports rehabilitation from injury or surgery, speeding healing and restoring mobility

• Relieves nerve compression and referred pain through targeted trigger point therapy

• Boosts body awareness and neuromuscular coordination, improving movement efficiency and stability
