Chinese massage
Chinese massage, also known as Tui Na, is an ancient practice that aims to release the flow of energy around the body. The underlying philosophy of Chinese massage is that true health is achieved when one has found harmony and balance inside the self and their environment. Chinese massage is to create harmony in the yin and yang of the body by getting rid of blockages and disturbances that manifest as illness, disease, and emotional issues.
During Chinese massage, lots of skillful techniques are used to bounce you back to good health, including kneading, rolling and deep pressure that's applied to precise points on your body. Chinese massage is similar to acupuncture in the way it targets specific acupoints, but practitioners use fingers instead of needles to apply pressure to stimulate these points.
Chair massage
Chair massage, also known as seated massage, is a type of massage that takes place on a traditional massage chair, which is designed to take the weight off the spine and give easy access to the head, neck, back, shoulders and arms. The massage is most commonly done over the clothes and does not require oils or creams.

Facial massage
Facial massage is a very popular face treatment to slow down the aging process and achieve younger looking and healthier skin. It is also used to relieve stress, migraine headache, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms and sinus congestion.
During facial massage treatment, a gentle effleurage (gliding) movement is most often used, the strokes are gentle as well as stimulating, in order not to stretch the skin. Pressure strokes move upward to give the muscles of the face a lift rather than dragging them down. Acupressure is also applied to points on the face in order to stimulate or unblock the flow of vital energy in specific meridians.
Lymphatic drainage massage
Lymphatic drainage massage is a manual massage technique that works on the lymphatic system. This massage stimulates the system to work quickly by moving the lymph to the lymph nodes. Its main function is to accelerate the process of removing the accumulated liquid between the cells and their catabolic residues, directing them to the capillary vessels so that they can be eliminated.
Lymphatic massage can stimulate blood circulation and tissue regeneration, directs and increases lymphatic flow, promoting faster removal of excess interstitial fluid, reduces swelling and water retention, improves the immune system due to the important elimination of toxins.
Hot stone massage
Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that involves the use of smooth, heated stones. The massage therapist places the hot stones on specific points on the client’s body and may also hold the stones while giving the massage.
In preparation for the treatment, the massage therapist heats the stones in a professional stone heater until they are within a precise temperature range. The localized heat and weight of the stones warm and relax muscles, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure to those areas without causing discomfort.
Some preliminary studies suggests that hot stone massage may provide benefits to people with conditions including prenatal depression, pain syndromes such as arthritis or fibromyalgia, hypertension and autoimmune conditions.
