Reflexive feet massages

Body acupuncture system used as a diagnostic and therapeutic method also includes several micro-systems. Here you will find points which correspond with various body organs and influence their functions. The best known micro-system is the auricle. As far as acupressure massages are concerned, the most important micro-system is located in the foot plantar area. This plantar area contains points connected to all organs in our body. If these individual zones are massaged, functions of the relevant organs and systems of organs are equalized and a well-balanced status is achieved (equilibrium). Manual massage is done by a professional masseuse. This type of massage focuses on elimination of pathological reflective conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, most often around the spine and the autonomic nervous system. Regular massage can affect blood flow to various organs and accelerate removal (washout) of toxic substances from the body, improve blood circulation and accelerate regeneration process of the entire body.

Hot Stone Therapy

Hot stone massage is a popular procedure which brings relaxation, relief and improves your overall well-being. Lava stones are of basaltic origin, accumulate heat easily and radiate extremely strong vibration energy. Hot stones with a temperature between 45 and 50 °C are used during the massage, but are also placed on various parts of your body. They are placed into client’s palms, on the back and at various energy centres all over the client’s body. During the massage the stones get gradually cooler and the masseuse replaces them with hot ones. This creates a deeper relaxation effect, the body releases tension, spasms and stiffness. It also rejuvenates tissues, improves overall blood circulation and strengthens lymphatic and  immune system. This massage achieves overall balance of the body energy as well as its entire harmonization.

Aromatherapy / Massage

Aromatherapy / massage is a procedure where various fragrances are used in order to achieve the desired effects. During this procedure the therapist applies gentle touches, strokes and essential oils all over the body – from your head to the tips of your toes. These oils penetrate deeply through the skin into your body where they relax your muscles and tendons and thus improving the condition of your musculoskeletal system. This massage activates the entire lymphatic system and promotes quality sleep.
Inhalation of aromatic fragrances soothes the olfactory centre and the nervous system. This initiates various reactions, mostly emotional reactions. The body may either relax or be stimulated. Aromatic fragrances evoke changes in your mind, which will put you in a positive mood and give you a sense of well-being and joy.

Anti-cellulite massage

Besides a healthy diet and regular exercise, a suitable addition in the fight against cellulite is an anti-cellulite massage. The procedure is applied mainly to the most exposed places, that is the lower limbs, buttocks and belly. The therapist performs a targeted massage and touches certain spots which activate the lymph and help with detoxification of your body. The lymphatic system washes away toxins and deposits from underneath your skin – which we are all familiar with – those little unpleasant bumps. After treatment the therapist applies a compression wrap to massaged spots and you will rest.

Inside the infra-cabin the temperature ranges from 40 °C up to maximum of 60 °C and the air humidity is between 2-6 %. Based on this fact, clients better tolerate the heat. Stay in infra-sauna has positive effects on the human body – increases the expansibility of collagen tissues, reduces joint stiffness and muscle spasms, reduces pain, increases blood flow, stimulates immune system, and it is also suitable for treatment of skin diseases and helps increase weight loss.
