Ayurvedic Massage
TOPSPA’s Indian-inspired Ayurvedic massages bring to you the concepts of self-healing and self-awareness.
Ayurvedic therapies unblock energy points so that vital energy can flow freely. This promotes the balance of the doshas (Vata, Kapha, and Pitta) to prevent disturbances in the body's functioning that may manifest as illnesses.
Ayurvedic massages work on the body, mind, and spirit, enhancing bodily awareness. In addition to addressing physical pain, they help overcome feelings of anxiety, distress, and insecurity.
Restore the energetic harmony of your body through Ayurvedic therapies.

Learn how Ayurvedic Massage is performed
Our Ayurvedic massages are a holistic and personalized ritual that covers the entire body.
Ayurvedic massage is performed on a tatami mat on the floor, using vigorous manual stretches and elongations guided by the therapist. Quick gliding movements are applied to create warmth, and medium-to-high pressure is used to unblock the marma points.
Some Ayurvedic treatments involve the use of large amounts of heated oils and are carried out on a massage table. The warmth and the aroma released by the oils induce deep relaxation while also hydrating and nourishing the skin.
In our Ayurvedic-inspired massages, we also use the Kansa Wand to remove energy blockages. This bronze tool heats up with the energy released by the body as gentle gliding, rotations, and pressures are applied.
By the end of the session, vital energy blockages are cleared, and the body’s balance is restored.

Everything you need to know about Ayurvedic Massages
Who is Ayurvedic Massage suitable for?
Ayurvedic massages can be enjoyed by anyone aged 16 and above.
Their effects on emotional balance can benefit those suffering from depression or anxiety attacks. They are also helpful for individuals dealing with insomnia or who have experienced trauma.
Ayurvedic rituals are also sought after by those facing stressful situations. In this way, they address muscle tension and pain, while simultaneously restoring energy and rebalancing the mind.
Moreover, Ayurvedic therapies are recommended for individuals with poor blood and lymphatic circulation. They are also beneficial for those who find it difficult to relax and for anyone seeking to revitalize their energy.
Which Ayurvedic therapy is the most traditional?
All of TOPSPA's Ayurvedic therapies are inspired by Ayurvedic medicine and adhere to the core principles of the treatments.
However, some adaptations have been made to fit Western preferences, ensuring greater comfort.
Nevertheless, the philosophy and benefits of Indian wisdom have been preserved. To gain a deeper understanding of natural healing, the world of the Vedas, and the power of the doshas, the Ayurvedic massage performed on a tatami mat on the floor is the perfect experience.
What are marma points in Ayurvedic massage?
Marma points are areas where it is believed that vital energy (prana) flows. When there is stagnation of energy at these points, it leads to imbalances in our health.
When pressure is applied, they help to release blocked energy, promoting energetic balance. In this way, energy flow is restored, while simultaneously addressing pain or other issues.
What are the Doshas?
Doshas are elements that perform specific functions within the body. When we are born, the doshas are perfectly aligned.
Throughout life, our choices influence the alignment of the doshas, and we may end up with one or more doshas becoming predominant.
Our Ayurvedic therapies focus on balancing the energy within the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. They circulate throughout the body, but each one has a more direct influence on specific areas, as outlined below:
Vata: Mainly associated with the large intestine, and its blockage causes constipation, abdominal bloating, or diarrhea.
Pitta: Predominantly affects the small intestine, and its blockage leads to symptoms such as heartburn, stress, and emotional issues.
Kapha: Dominates the stomach but also affects the lungs, causing digestive problems and potentially leading to nasal congestion and breathing difficulties.
How do I know which is my predominant dosha?
Before beginning the Ayurvedic massage, the therapist will assess your predominant dosha and select the appropriate oil.
This experience is personalized to address your unique needs.
How is the Shirodhara ritual performed?
The Shirodhara ritual is performed on a massage table. The person receiving the massage lies on their back with their eyes protected.
This Ayurvedic therapy begins with a back massage: Abhyanga. Oil is applied, and medium-pressure strokes are used to achieve complete muscle relaxation.
By pouring oil onto the third eye, the space between the eyebrows, an energetic reconnection is achieved.
This is followed by movements with the stream of oil across the forehead. The oil flows down the scalp, and a head massage is performed using the poured oil.
What is the Kansa Wand?
The Kansa Wand is an instrument made of bronze, considered a sacred metal in Ayurvedic medicine.
It is used in Ayurvedic therapies for its benefits in stimulating lymphatic circulation, as it helps eliminate toxins from the body.
The Kansa Wand is a key element in promoting the balance of vital energy and the self-healing process.
How is the Ayurvedic treatment called the Kansa Ritual performed?
The Kansa Ritual is a full-body Ayurvedic treatment that uses the Kansa Wand as a massage tool. It is performed on a massage table and includes a relaxing facial massage.
The gliding movements with the Kansa Wand warm the skin with the person’s own energy.
Throughout the massage, pressure and rotations are applied to the marma points to unblock and stimulate energy.
During this Ayurvedic treatment, you will feel relief from accumulated stress, as well as the effects on the circulatory and lymphatic systems. In addition, it renews energy and smooths the skin.
Which Ayurvedic therapy is best suited for deep relaxation?
All Ayurvedic therapies at TOPSPA provide deep relaxation, and it is even possible to reach a meditative state.
However, the Abhyanga massage is the experience most likely to induce deep relaxation.
This Ayurvedic treatment uses large amounts of heated oil in rhythmic movements, gentle gliding strokes, and light pressure, creating a soothing effect.
The Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage is an excellent option for detoxifying the body and boosting the immune system.
