Thai massage

Traditional Thai massage or aromatic oil massage can help you restore balance and bring more serenity to your daily life. In the purest tradition of this ancestral art, this massage is very complete and works the body as a whole. In practice, the therapist applies pressure, stretching and light touches to deeply relax and tone the muscles, thus relieving your fatigue and giving you a real moment of relaxation.

The benefits of Thai massage

Thanks to the various manipulations of the therapist, this massage is very effective in relieving muscular tension, unblocking the neck and stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation. This ancient technique also combats stress and other anxiety-related disorders by rebalancing the energy flowing through your body. In short, it releases blockages and relieves pain while improving the balance of body and mind for greater well-being in everyday life.

Personalized therapeutic massage therapy

After a discussion with your therapist, you can decide whether you would like a full body massage or a targeted massage, depending on which parts of the body are bothering you. A personalised massage includes different movements of varying intensity, such as effleurage, gliding pressure, kneading, vibration and may combine several techniques from different therapies.

Manual lymphatic drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a real detox massage for your body. A very gentle, relaxing and painless technique, it was created by Emil Vodder in 1932. Lymph is a liquid circulating in the lymphatic vessels and carrying proteins, nutrients, toxins and cellular debris. It plays an essential role in the immune system and tissue regeneration. Through the movements of this massage, which combines slow pressure and gentle rotation along the lymphatic system, the lymph can circulate better, reducing lymphoedema and detoxifying your body.

Finally, manual lymphatic drainage is particularly recommended in post-operative treatment as it allows a better recovery of the patient, accelerates the healing process while relieving pain.

Originally a Japanese massage, shiatsu, from "shi" fingers and "atsu" pressure, is traditionally practised on the floor on natural fibre clothing. Officially recognised and highly prized in Japan, shiatsu massage soothes the body and mind and brings you well-being and energy in just a few sessions. It consists of pressure from the thumbs, hands, but sometimes also from the elbows, feet and knees on precise paths located on our meridians and which are associated with stretching and gentle movements. It allows us to restore an optimal circulation of our vital energy for a better harmony of our body and mind.

Acupuncture (with Dr. Chang)

Acupuncture is a thousand-year-old empirical medicine, recognised by the WHO and listed by UNESCO as part of humanity's intangible cultural heritage. Its practice consists of stimulating precise areas of the skin, the "acupuncture points", located on the meridians of our body. Used in a preventive or curative manner, it aims to regulate any imbalance, pain or dysfunction and is based on a holistic vision of the body and mind.

The benefits of acupuncture

Acupuncture provides many benefits to your body and mind: analgesic, through the relief of muscle and nerve pain; modulating through its action and modulating effect on the immune system; harmonising as acupuncture helps to restore the body's natural balance by influencing the endocrine and autonomic nervous systems; soothing through its sedative effect on insomnia, stress or anxiety; restorative because it promotes natural healing mechanisms, local circulation, oxygenation, regeneration of your cells.
