The psychoactive wellness massage

Helps with anxiety, depression and burnout: the limbic system in the brain, which controls our emotional world, reacts to touch. The psychoactive massage stimulates it with its three pillars: Full-body, breath-active and trapezius massage. Breathing slows down, energy flows better in the body and anxiety gives way to inner calm. 60 minutes approx. 70 euros, with physiotherapists.

The Pantai Luar wellness massage

Stimulates the metabolism, tightens the skin: "On new shores" is the translation of Pantai Luar, and this is how you feel after the Indonesian herbal stamp wellness massage. The cloth bags are filled with spices such as black sesame, turmeric, tamarind, cinnamon, berries and kaffir leaves and heated over steam. Dipped in warm Ayurvedic oil, the masseur then gently pulls the stamps over the skin. And presses them repeatedly so that the fragrant active ingredients can penetrate the pores. From 70 euros for 60 minutes (in wellness hotels).

The Tuina wellness massage

Effective against headaches and insomnia: "pushing and grasping" is what Tuina means and is part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). During this wellness massage, the practitioner makes circular movements with the wrist, fingertips, knuckles or elbows. This releases blockages in the pathways along which the life energy Qi flows through the body. Although the Tuina hand movements sometimes hurt a little, they are very effective. 40 minutes for approx. 50 euros (alternative practitioners, TCM therapists).

The Nuad Thai wellness massage

The Polarity Wellness Massage

Polarity massage brings body, mind and soul back into harmony by harmonizing the flow of energy and activating the body's self-healing powers. This wellness massage uses gentle holds, stimulating rocking movements and deep pressure techniques to release blockages.
