THAI MASSAGE 

“Thai massage" or "Thai yoga massage" is an ancient healing system combining acupressure, Indian 

Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. It was founded by an Indian Ayurvedic doctor 

named Jivaka Kumar Bhacca, who is still revered in Thailand as the "father of medicine". He has 

been noted in ancient documents for his extraordinary medical skills, his knowledge of herbal 

medicine, and for having treated important people of his day, including the Buddha himself. 

TECHNIQUE 

Traditional Thai massage uses no oils or lotions. The recipient wears loose, comfortable clothing 

during a treatment and lies on a mat or firm mattress on the floor. There is constant body 

contact between the giver and receiver, but rather than rubbing on muscles, the body is 

compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked. The receiver will be positioned in a variety of yogalike 

positions during the course of the massage and the massage also combines deep static and 

rhythmic pressures. These may include pulling fingers, toes, ears, cracking knuckles, walking on 

the recipient's back, and moving the recipient's body into many different positions. There is a 

standard procedure and rhythm to the massage, which the giver will adjust to fit the receiver. 

BENEFITS 

Thais believe that good health and freedom from pain result from the unhindered flow of vital 

energies through the body's tissues by means of 'channels' called 'Sen' and that most musculoskeletal 

pain and lack of mobility of the joints is the result of muscles shortening under the 

influence of repetitive strain. . Regular Thai massage stretches the muscles back to their normal 

resting length and before long, tension disappears and joint mobility is restored.

SWEDISH RELAXATION MASSAGE 

Swedish massage is based on the Western concepts of anatomy and physiology as opposed to 

energy work that is more common in Asian-style massage. As the best-known type of bodywork 

performed today, one of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the 

entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the 

direction of blood returning to the heart. 

TECHNIQUE 

Relaxation massage is a gentle Swedish massage that uses smooth, gliding strokes to help you 

relax. The massage therapist will move at a slower pace and use lighter pressure with less 

emphasis on working out „knots‟. The therapist won't push your pain limits in order to get the 

muscle to release. You might even fall asleep! It's a good choice for someone who is getting a 

massage for the first time, or someone who just wants to bring their stress level down. During a 

Swedish massage you are generally nude underneath a towel or sheet. The therapist uncovers 

only the part of the body he/she is working on, a technique called draping.. 

BENEFITS 

There are substantial health benefits to a relaxation massage. Gentle massage stimulates sensory 

nerve endings in the skin, which transmit messages through the nervous system and cause 

the brain to release endorphins that create a sense of well being. Massage further aids relaxation 

by stimulating the body's parasympathetic nervous system, sometimes called the "rest and digest 

system." Blood pressure decreases, heart rate slows, digestive activity and blood circulation 

increases and the body's lymphatic system is stimulated.

AROMATHERAPY 

Aromatherapy has been around in some form for thousands of years, but it was only in the 11th 

century that steam distillation first made it possible to properly remove the essential oils from 

plant materials. Since then, cultures around the world have utilized aromatherapy for a wide 

range of functions. Aromatherapy massage uses essential oils derived from plants to affect your 

mood and alleviate pain. 

TECHNIQUE 

In aromatherapy massage, essential oils, which are volatile, highly concentrated plant extracts 

derived from leaves, bark, roots, seeds, resins and flowers, are mixed with a carrier oil like sweet 

almond, apricot kernel, or grape seed oil. The massage therapist may use up to five oils in a 

mixture, and chooses the oils based on what you need. A relaxing aromatherapy massage, for 

instance, might have lavender or bergamot, while a massage for sore muscles might include 

peppermint and eucalyptus. 

BENEFITS 

4 | P a g e

5 | P a g e 

Some of the health benefits of aromatherapy include its ability to reduce anxiety, ease depression, 

boost energy levels, speed up the healing process, eliminate headaches, boost cognitive 

performance, induce sleep, strengthen the immune system, reduce pain, improve digestion, and 

increase circulation. 

Recommended Duration : 90 MINUTES 

Cost : ( 60 MINUTES) Rs 1800 (90 MINUTES) Rs 2400 (120 MINUTES) Rs 3000 

SPORTS MASSAGE 

Sports massage was originally developed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal 

performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. Sports massage 

emphasizes prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons, tone, symmetry, 

balance and posture. But you don't have to be an athlete to benefit from sports massage. Sports 

massage is also good for people with injuries, chronic pain or restricted range of motion 

TECHNIQUE 

Sports massage is a type of Swedish massage that stimulates circulation of blood and lymph 

fluids. Some sports massage movements use Trigger point therapy to break down adhesions 

(knots in the muscles) and increase range of motion.The massage can include stroking through 

muscle groups or picking out specific muscles, creating movement within them in different 

directions or at varying depths and strengths, stretching them in any number of ways with client 

participation and working in specific areas to break down tensions. 

BENEFITS 

Sports massage should play an important part in the life of any sportsman or woman whether 

they are injured or not. Massage has a number of benefits, both physical, physiological and 

psychological. It can help maintain the body in generally better condition, prevent injuries and 

loss of mobility, cure and restore mobility to injured muscle tissue, boost performance and 

extend the overall life of your sporting career.

BUDDHA SPA SIGNATURE MASSAGE 

The Buddha Spa special kicks off the treatment with a Thai massage, where the 

client will be positioned in various yoga like positions and massaged with deep 

static and rhythmic pressures for 30 minutes. 

This rigorous massage will be followed by a 30 minute Swedish relaxation 

massage where the massage therapist will move at a slower pace and use lighter 

pressure with less emphasis on working out „knots”. 

The lighter pressure gives way to the deeper pressure and slower movement of a 

30 minute Deep Tissue Massage that is concentrated on areas of tension and pain 

A further 30 minute Hot Compression massage used a wet compress along with 

the hands to focus the massage on knots. 

6 | P a g e 

To relieve tension that builds up in the head, clients are treated to a soothing 15 

minute head massage.

7 | P a g e 

The massage ends with 15 minutes of quiet time and relaxation in a recliner to soothing 

music, a cup of herbal tea and a delicious snack 

Recommended Duration : 2 ½ hours 

Cost : Rs 4200 

BODY WRAPS & SCRUBS 

Body wraps are all natural, often containing a mixture of herbs and minerals designed to beautify 

the skin. Essential oils and sea salts may be used in spa body wrap treatments, seeking to help 

tone and soften the skin, and help rid you of those unwanted inches. Algae, along with seaweed 

and a host of other primary ingredients such as mud, clay, and paraffin, a waxy substance, stand 

proudly as major ingredients in body wrapping solutions. If you have claustrophobia, this may 

not be the right treatment for you as you might be left alone during the treatment. 

Body Scrubs use a blend of oils with fine and coarse grains, and are followed with the application 

of emollient lotions to further soften skin. During the initial process, a client's skin is drybrushed 

to incite exfoliation (removal of dead layers of skin) and control cellulite. Once dull 

dead top layers of skin are removed, smoother and healthier skin is revealed. Proper brushing 

involves gentle massaging motions. 

BENEFITS 

7 | P a g e

8 | P a g e 

Body wraps use detoxifying organic materials to draw toxins from the body and soften skin. 

Body wraps are designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin by helping to rid the 

body of excess fluids and toxins. Benefits of body wraps may include detoxification, boosting of 

the lymphatic system and metabolism, body contouring, temporary inch-loss, skin tightening, 

and skin softening. 

After a scrub, skin will feel soft and fine lines will lessen after just one treatment. Since the skin is 

our largest organ, detoxification can have a profound effect on health and well being. 


Cost : (90 MINUTES) Rs 3000 ( 120 MINUTES) Rs 3600 

LOMILOMI MASSAGE 

The early Polynesian settlers to Hawaii brought their own form of massage which evolved over 

hundreds of ears to become something uniquely Hawaiian. The word „Lomilomi’ is used today 

to describe a "massage therapist" or "Hawaiian massage." In the Hawaiian language, the word used 

traditionally, called lomi, means "to knead, rub or soothe; to work in and out, as the paws of a 

contented cat." ] 

TECHNIQUE 

In general, Lomilomi practitioners use the palms, forearms, fingers, knuckles, elbows, knees, 

feet and even sticks and stones, with or without lubrication. It is a spiritual technique based on the 

Hawaiian philosophy of “huna” that relates to philosophy, knowledge, anatomy and practices such as 

massage and energy flow. The strokes can be long, smooth and relaxing, or quick and invigorating. 

The key is that the masseuse and the client are working in tandem. The goal of the massage is to 

find harmony with every aspect of life and therefore, therapists may ask clients to pray, meditate, 

change their diets, and engage in other self-help activities usually believed to lie outside the scope 

of massage in an effort to truly help the clients obtain optimal health. 

BENEFITS 

8 | P a g e

9 | P a g e 

There are many different "schools" of lomilomi with different approaches and techniques but 

their goal is the same, namely to rejuvenate mind, body and spirit by removing energy blockages 

and opening energy pathways within the body. The free-flowing strokes that typify lomi lomi 

have many of the same benefits of traditional Swedish massage, such as improved circulation and 

immune response, increased range of motion and flexibility, improved posture, faster healing, 

slower heart rate and lower blood pressure]. 

Recommended Duration : 90 Minutes minimum 


HOT HERBAL COMPRESSION MASSAGE 

Performed for hundreds of years, Herbal massages are known to provide deep relaxation while 

relieving stress and fatigue and improving health. 

TECHNIQUE 

The therapy relies on the use of hot compresses or “poultices” filled with a selection of herbs 

and spices. The compresses are generally wet and then steamed and applied gently to specific 

points of the body, releasing their healing benefits into the pores of the skin. They can be used 

along with the hands to focus the massage on knots. Although quite gentle, the therapy can 

9 | P a g e

10 | P a g e 

include some Thai yoga postures. By manipulating the limbs, the therapist aims at improving the 

flexibility and ultimately, the relaxation of the body. Since compresses are steamed and applied 

directly on the skin, do not hesitate to ask the therapist to adapt the heat and /or the pressure 

level if you find them too hot. 

BENEFITS 

Hot compresses promote relaxation and sooth aching muscle and stiff joints. Since the motions 

are very gentle, it can be more appropriate for parts of the body that are too tender or sore for 

hand massage. It is a great alternative to accupressure, since it stimulates the same points of the 

body, leaving you intensively relaxed and energized. Herbal Massage is known for its healing 

properties: it improves blood circulation and stimulates the internal organs. While the heat dilates 

blood vessels, it increases the blood and oxygen circulation in the body and improves the 

efficiency of the different organs. Herbs used in the compress will also have different and 

specific benefits: ginger is used to treat digestive disorders and allergies, lemongrass and kaffir 

lime boost the immune system, jasmine has antispasmodic and anti-depressive effects, turmeric 

is an anti-bacterial that will heal skin infection or lesion... 



HOT STONE MASSAGE 

A hot stone massage, a variation on classic massage therapy, is a massage that uses smooth, flat, 

and heated stones placed at key points on the body. The hot stones are usually made of basalt, a 

type of rock that is rich in iron, so they retain heat. River rocks are normally used because they 

are smooth - they are smoothed over time by the river current. The stones are immersed in water 

and heated in an electric heater until they are within a certain temperature, usually around 52-54 

degrees Celsius or 122-127 degrees Farenheit. 

TECHNIQUE 

Once the stones have heated sufficiently, some are placed onto specific points on the body (such 

as the back, hands, etc.) and others are held by the massage therapist and used to work the 

muscles. The massage therapist always holds the stones first before touching them to your body, 

which ensures that the temperature will not be too hot. Everyone, however, has their own 

comfort range. Be sure to speak up if the stones are too hot for you. The massage therapist 

often begins by applying oil to the body, which allows the hot stones to glide smoothly along the 

muscles. You are lying face down, and the massage therapist often then uses the hot stones to 

massage the back. After the hot stones have relaxed the muscles, the massage therapist may put 

down the stones and use his or her hands to directly massage the skin. The heat of the stones 

warm and relax the muscles, which allows the therapist to apply deeper pressure, if desired. 

Certain styles of stone massage also incorporate chilled stones into the routine. These stones are 

usually marble and are placed into a bowl of iced water before use. 

10 | P a g e

11 | P a g e 

BENEFITS 

Hot stone massages have beneficial effects on various health conditions such as back pain, poor 

circulation, Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, insomnia, depression and stress. The warmth of the hot 

stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system. Some massage therapists place 

stones on points that are thought to be energy centres of the body to rebalance the body and 

mind. Hot stone massage is suited for people who tend to feel chilly or who have cold feet, or 

for people who have muscle tension but prefer a lighter massage, while cool marble stones are 

used during a treatment if there is inflammation. 



SHIATSU MASSAGE 

Shiatsu develop4ed in ancient China around 530 BC and later extended to Japan, Korea and S.E. 

Asia. By the 20 th century it became popular in the U.S, Europe and Australia to treat muscular 

tensions. Its name comes from the Japanese words “shi” or ginger and “atsu” or pressure. Also 

known as acupressure, Shiatsu is a point-pressure massage designed to help regulate the flow of 

energy within the body. Its produce a deep relaxation, increases energy levels and brings balance 

to the body. 

TECHNIQUE 

During a shiatsu massage, thumb, fingers, palms or feet apply pressure to specific points on the 

body‟s energy pathways, known as meridiens. Other techniques such as rocking, stretches, 

vibration and joint rotations are used as well. Loose clothing is worn and it is usually performed 

on a mat on the floor.. Shiatsu treatment is holistic, addressing the whole body rather than 

focusing on the one area where symptoms are most obvious. This type of massage begins with 

gentle stretching and manipulation of the skin to allow the stimulation of energy and relax the 

muscles. Depending on the need of the person receiving the massage, it can be very gentle and 

calming or used with high pressure, but should never hurt or feel painful. 

11 | P a g e

12 | P a g e 

BENEFITS 

Shiatsu massages help stimulate circulation in the capillaries of the skin's soft tissues, cellular 

nutrition throughout the body and the secretion of the sebaceous glands, keeping skin moist and 

smooth. Shiatsu also helps limber muscles, reduce muscular pain and can help alleviate the 

symptoms caused by arthritis. By relaxing the body and increasing blood flow and circulation 

Shiatsu also aids the circulatory and digestive system, allowing food to digest and waste products 

to be more easily eliminated. 



BALINESE MASSAGE 

Balinese massage developed in the Indonesian province of Bali, with influence from the 

traditional medicine systems of India, China, and Southeast Asia. In particular, it is often linked 

to Ayurveda, an Indian holistic medical system which emphasizes bringing the body into balance. 

It is a full body, deep tissue, holistic treatment that induces calmness and boosts circulation. 

TECHNIQUES 

12 | P a g e

13 | P a g e 

Balinese is a form of deep massage and is designed to work almost every muscle in the body. 

The masseuse will use a variety techniques, including acupressure movements, such as press 

point and palm pressure, and standard massage techniques like sliding, long exploration, short 

exploration, kneading, skin rolling and flicking, firm and gentle stroking, percussion, and 

application of essential oils. [1] The practitioner may also apply stone massage. This massage is not 

a delicate one, and can typically be felt deep in the muscles, yet its techniques also focus on 

relaxation. The aroma of scented oils is soothing and makes the massage strokes fluid. 

BENEFITS 

The combination of manual therapy and aromatherapy is intended to relax the mind, loosen the 

muscles and stimulate the lymphatic system and the flow of blood and oxygen. The boost to the 

circulatory system helps reduce stress and the aromatic oils boost one‟s mood. The techniques 

work to ease damaged tissue, relieve strained muscles and ease joint pain and is therefore also 

useful for sports injuries. 



13 | P a g e 

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE 

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of 

muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and contracted 

areas such as stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders. 

TECHNIQUES 

Some of the same strokes are used as classic massage therapies, but the movement is slower and 

the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain in order to reach the sublayer 

of muscles and connective tissues. Massage therapists may use fingertips, knuckles, hands, 

elbows, and forearms during the deep tissue massage. You may be asked to breathe deeply as the 

massage therapist works on certain tense areas Deep tissue massage physically breaks down 

adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement by using massage oil and direct deep 

pressure. At certain points during the massage, most people find there is usually some 

discomfort and pain but tell your masseuse if the pain is outside your comfort range. There is

14 | P a g e 

usually some stiffness or pain after a deep tissue massage, but it should subside within a day or 

so. 

BENEFITS 

Deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as chronic muscle pain, limited 

mobility, injury, postural problems, muscle tension, sciatica and osteoarthritis. It has proved 

more effective in relief and rehabilitation than physical therapy, exercise and medication and an 

improved range of motion is noticed immediately after a deep tissue massage. 



TRIGGER POINT THERAPY 

A trigger point is a spot that "triggers" a painful response. But it is more than a tender nodule. It 

affects not only the muscle where the trigger point is located, but also causes "referred pain" in 

tissues supplied by nerves. Trigger points are located in a taut band of muscles fibres. The 

therapist will locate and deactivate them using finger pressure. One technique is to pick up the 

muscle fibres in a pincer grip. 

14 | P a g e

15 | P a g e 

TECHNIQUE 

Trigger point massage therapy is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through 

cycles of isolated pressure and release. In this type of massage for trigger point therapy, the 

recipient actively participates through deep breathing as well as identifying the exact location and 

intensity of the discomfort. Since it the condition developed over time, it will likely take more 

than one massage to alleviate it and it might be uncomfortable. 

BENEFITS 

The results and benefits of trigger point massage are releasing constricted areas in the muscles 

thus alleviating pain. You can experience a significant decrease in pain after just one treatment. 

Receiving massage with trigger point therapy on a regular basis can help naturally manage pain 

and stress from chronic injuries.

REFLEXOLOGY 

Reflexology is an alternative medicine, involving the application of pressure to the feet and 

hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is 

based on a system of zones and reflex areas that purportedly reflect an image of the body on the 

feet and hands, with the premise that such work effects a physical change to the body. Modern

16 | P a g e 

reflexologists use techniques developed in the 1930‟s and 1940;s by Eunice Ingham, a 

physiotherapist who mapped the body into “reflexes” on the feet and whose foot maps and 

reflexology charts are used till today. 

TECHNIQUES 

Reflexology is the application of appropriate pressure to specific points and areas on the feet, 

hands, or ears. Reflexologists believe that these areas and reflex points correspond to different 

body organs and systems, and that pressing them has a beneficial effect on the organs and 

person's general health. A reflexologist may perform a general, integrated session, or may focus 

on specific problem areas on the feet, hands or ears. For example, if time is limited and the 

person really needs to relax, the reflexologist may choose just to work on the ears. Whatever the 

approach, the reflexologist attempts to release congestion or stress in the nervous system and 

balance the body's energy. client will stay fully clothed for a reflexology session except for 

removing footwear, 

BENEFITS 

Although reflexology is not used to diagnose or cure health disorders, millions of people around 

the world use it to complement other treatments when addressing conditions like anxiety, 

asthma, cancer, cardiovascular tissues, diabetes, headaches, kidney function, PMS, and sinusitis.

18 | P a g e 

Massage therapy during pregnancy is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness 

as it relieves many discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg 

cramps, headaches and edema (or swelling). In addition, massage for pregnant women reduces 

stress on weight-bearing joints, encourages blood and lymph circulation, helps to relax nervous 

tension -- which aids in better sleep -- and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by 

hormonal changes. 

TECHNIQUE 

Our therapists take extra care to ensure our pregnancy massage clients are comfortable. Sideline 

positioning with supportive, soft cushions is used to alleviate the extra strain on the lower back 

and pelvic areas when pressure is applied. Extra strain in these areas can cause unnecessary back 

or abdominal pain, so naturally we want to avoid any potential discomfort. Through the second 

trimester, you may prefer to lie on your back with a small, cushioned wedge placed under one 

hip to provide a slight elevation. Depending on where you are in your pregnancy, your therapist 

may utilize such massage techniques as reflexology, Swedish massage or certain techniques that 

address your specific requests and needs. 

BENEFITS 

• Headaches can be relieved by massage focusing on the head, neck and shoulders. 

• Muscle tension created by carrying the extra weight of a baby can be relieved by 

encouraging blood flow to the afflicted areas. 

• Fatigue, backaches, leg cramps and swelling/edema can also be relieved. 

• The ordinary aches and pains of pregnancy are countered by the release of serotonin, 

your body's natural anti-pain chemical, which is stimulated by massage. 

• Regular massages help diminish anxiety and discomfort which can lead to improved sleep 

patterns 

Women with normal, low-risk pregnancies can benefit greatly from massage therapies. 

However, women in high-risk pregnancies should consult their doctor or midwife before 

beginning a massage programme.
