Three Eastern massage therapy approaches:
Abhyanga, or Ayurvedic massage; traditional Thai massage; and Chavutti,
or foot massage. Three different ways of taking care of the body through
massage, all aiming at your well-being by means of the release of energy
flow and the loosening up of muscles and ligaments.
Massage Manifesto
Body in Cipher
Human body... contours, shapes, curves, reliefs, depressions, tensions
and releases, structures, flow. Uninterrupted flow, pulse, vibration,
stagnation, density, sensation, feeling, remembrance, fear, passion,
consciousness, pure consciousness but encaged, organized within the
somatic structure of an outstanding persona’s individuality.
Veiled circuits, divine mysteries in the body in cipher. My hands go
within, doing, undoing, redoing routes. They release, loosen up, mould,
integrate dimensions. They recreate, broaden conceptions, breaking up
meters, seeking the flow, living rhythm of consciousness manifest in
form.

Thai
Massage
An ancient technique based on the concept of energetic field and
on the release of energy flow by pressing the muscles along the
energetic channels. By moving joints, by stretching and torsions,
the patient
is guided through successive passive Yoga postures.

Abhyanga
-
Ayurvedic Massage
A Sanskrit
word meaning ‘to smear’, ‘to rub with oil’,
Abhyanga can be applied by one practitioner, two or more at the
same time. Above all, it focusses on nourishing the skin with vegetable
oils treated with herbs. Using medicinal oils in Ayurvedic massage
is advantageous mainly because their healing properties are soon
absorbed by the body through the skin. Friction increases the flow
of vital fluids and the removal of toxins from the tissues. The
broad, balanced, and rhythmic massaging moves bring the patient
deep well-being and relaxation. |

Chavutti
Thirummal
In
this massage style, the therapist glides with their feet over
the patient’s body, which has been smeared with medicinal
oils. To balance during the massage maneuvering, the therapist
holds to a rope hanging from the ceiling. While gliding their
feet over the patient’s body, the therapist uses their weight
pressure to relax the patient’s muscles and release the
energy flow.
