Vishes massage: the power of Ayurveda
Revitalising deep tissue massage
Indian Ayurveda is probably one of the oldest holistic healing systems in the world. Translated, Ayurveda means "study of life". The focus of its ancient teachings is the interaction of body, mind and soul, which is to be achieved through the Ayurvedic lifestyle. In addition to a healthy diet and steam baths, oil massages are also one of the pillars of this Indian healing method. Vishesh massage, a deep tissue massage encompassing the whole body, is one of them.
What is Vishesh massage?
Vinesh massage is an Ayurvedic deep tissue massage. It is similar to Abhyanga massage, the classic full body massage of Ayurveda, but is performed with more speed and more pressure. Vishesh massage is performed with warm oils selected according to the patient’s Ayurvedic constitutional type (Dosha). For this purpose, the massage therapist first determines the patient’s dosha in a short preliminary talk. Only then is the Ayurvedic deep massage carried out with powerful stroking movements that focus on the whole body.
What are the benefits of Vishesh massage?
According to traditional belief, Ayurvedic oil massages drain toxins from the body and bring the body's energies back into harmony. In Western cultures, oil massages – such as the Vishesh massage – are mainly used as wellness treatments for body and mind. Due to its intense and powerful massage strokes, Vishesh massage has a vitalising effect, stimulating blood circulation, and boosting the metabolism. The massage activates the lymphatic flow and thus removes waste products from the body. Thanks to massage’s pressure, Vishesh reaches deeper tissue layers and effectively releases tension. Last but not least, the natural plant oils used for Vishesh massage improve the elasticity and appearance of the patient’s skin and effectively combat cellulite.
