According to Ayurvedic philosophy, the manipulation technique used to perform the massage in question is the means by which balance and perfect harmony between body and mind can be achieved. Again according to Ayurveda, in fact, each part of the body is influenced by three main bioenergies, the so-called doshas (called Vata, Pitta and Kapha); an imbalance of these energies would lead to the appearance of different kinds of disorders, varying according to the dosha involved and the part of the body affected by it. Ayurvedic massage, therefore, is one of the many means used by the alternative medicine of the same name to restore balance within the body and mind, thereby promoting the psychophysical well-being of the individual.
SHIATSU (ACUPRESSURE) TREATMENTS
Shiatsu Acupressure is a form of digital pressure that can help to relax those who have hard time, to find the mental and physical energy to work-out,
and it is frequently used by athletes to increase vitality and energy.
Sessions can be held in one of our two rooms, E020 and E008, seated on a chair or lying on a massage table. They do not have any medical or aesthetic connotation, and are used exclusively to improve the state of health, stress reduction, greater attention to work, and a global pisco-physical improvement of the whole person.
Sessions will be held on appointment (on Wednesday afternoons, and on Thursday mornings and afternoons) by the qualified practitioners Ms. Antje Kutzer and Mr. Marco Praticó.
Our members can book half-hour or one-hour sessions by contacting us by phone or email.
FOOT REFLEXOLOGY
Foot Reflexology involves stimulation through pressure on certain points
on the foot, which are related to organs and apparatuses, in order to
restore the body's energy balance.
The Treatment promotes the release of hormones such as endorphins,
stimulates the lymphatic system and circulation, resulting in a
rebalancing action.
