Pancha Karma Bodywork Therapies: Therapeutic Massage

April 12, 2007

Therapeutic massage techniques involve the manipulation of the body’s soft tissue (muscles, tendons and ligaments) to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasms and stress. There are a dozen types of therapeutic massages and body treatments at Kamalaspa. Some of our most popular are the Ayurvedic Massage (a gentle massage using herb infused oil), the Swedish Massage (a modern standard massage), the Hot Stone Massage (using therapeutic lava rocks and our Kamalaspa oils), and the Shirodhara (a nurturing two hour treatment the relaxes the nervous system).

Massage is beneficial in several ways: aside from being physically and emotionally relaxing, massage improves blood and lymph circulation, reduces nerve irritation and brings fresh oxygen and other nutrients to the affected tissues. Massage may also cause the body to produce fewer stress hormones like cortisol and norepinephrine (formerly adrenalin), and may also increase the body’s production of pain-killing endorphins and the mood-altering hormone serotonin. Follow up with after care by booking a series of massages into your monthly health regimen. Kamalaspa offers a series of massages where you purchase ten 60-minute healing treatments and receive the 11th free!
