Acupressure Massage
This is a traditional Chinese medicine technique derived from acupuncture.
Acupressure is sometimes referred to as pressure acupuncture which is thought to be acupuncture without the needles.
According to traditional chinese medical theory, there are a number of acupressure points that exist along channels in your body.

This massage can help manage symptoms like Headache, Menstrual cramps, and muscle tension perfect to try out during your spa in Malta.
Deep Tissue Massage Therapy
If you suffer from serious chronic muscle pain and tension or you are seeking to help the recovery process from an injury, this is definitely the therapy for you.
At the beginning of a deep tissue massage, lighter pressure is generally applied by the massage therapist in order to warm up and prepare the muscles.
The common techniques that are applied include stripping and friction.
The first feels like a deep, gliding pressure along the length of the muscle using the elbow, knuckles, forearm, and thumbs.
The second involves pressure which is applied across the grain of a muscle to release tension and realign tissue fibers.
Although this can at times feel uncomfortable, this therapy targets the deep layers of muscle.

Aromatherapy
This involves a classic massage technique with long strokes and kneading, but uses essential oils, which derive from plant material to achieve different purposes.
These oils used in aromatherapy are then absorbed through the skin and release a lovely perfume which you will breathe in.
Different oils will be used depending upon your personal needs and to achieve different effects.
you may need calming, energising, or cleansing, all of which require a different combination of oils.
The therapist also often asks you to smell a few different oils to find out which one most appeals to you.
This is a wonderful therapy for stress relief and deep relaxation.
Ayurvedic Massage
Gain the healing powers of Ayurveda with this therapy, which aims to maintain the health of the mind and spirit.
Each massage is personalised to each person’s needs, with particular oils, techniques and movements.
During this massage, your therapist will focus on your pressure points, similar to those used in acupressure.
This type of massage is great for detoxifying and cleansing your body and mind, as well as improving your overall well-being.
Thai Sawadee
This focuses on Thai techniques which have developed from ancient Ayurvedic and Yogic healing traditions.
The Thai Sawadee techniques put pressure on specific points on the body using palms and thumbs. This is because it is believed that putting pressure on these points will stimulate the body’s energy lines when combined with gentle stretching and movements.
In Thailand, therapists sometimes walk on your back or twist you into funny shapes. In America, most practitioners will help your body to stretch by making use of yoga poses in order to help muscles lengthen and become more flexible.
Abdominal Massage
An abdominal massage involves applying pressure to the stomach and pelvic area. For women, it is usually great to treat a displaced uterus but also to help treat infertility, hormonal imbalances, bladder problems, painful or irregular periods, and so on.
It can also be highly beneficial for men who suffer digestive upsets, bladder issues and pain in the pelvic region whilst recovering on a healing spa holiday.
Shirodhara
Coming from Indian, the word shirodhara is made up of “shiras” and “dhara”, which mean head and flow.
In fact, the Shirodhara is an ancient form of Ayurvedic technique where warm oil is gently poured down your forehead and scalp in a continuous application.
This process calms the nervous system and sends you into a deep state of rest, which is similar to meditation.
Interestingly, it is also effective in dealing with mental disorders.
That is, It is beneficial in relieving symptoms of anxiety, worry, stress, tension, and headaches.
Stone Therapy and Hot Stone massage
Another message found on most spa menus is the hot stone massage.
Stone therapy is inspired by centuries-old Native American traditional medicine, and this modern massage has quickly caught on around the world.
The basic treatment incorporates the use of smooth rounded basalt stones, of many shapes and sizes, which are placed on the body.
These stones are heated in water and retain their heat fairly well.
This is great as the heat helps warm up your muscles and is very relaxing. As the stones cool down, they are then replaced with other warm stones.
This ensures that the therapist can reach deeper layers of tissue.
When done well, hot stone massage is great. However, it is a special skill that not all therapists have, so be careful when picking your therapist and the quality will most likely vary substantially.
With the full body massage, you can boost your circulation, relieving aching joints, releasing stored tension as well as recharging your battery.
Lomi-Lomi massage
The Lomi-Lomi evolved from the practices of the shamans in Hawaii.
This hawaiian massage begins by focusing on meditation, and breathing techniques.
This technique promises deep relaxation, mindfulness, as well as an increase in circulation and reduction in pain.
Then you are coated in oil and massaged with long, repetitive strokes as well as circular and figure-eight-like movements.
