Asclepios Massage Experience our Signature Massage to bring you
back to a renewed and lighter state, the Asclepios massage regulates the flow of
vital energy through all your body and stimulates the natural process of
regeneration of the organism. This massage contains different passive movements
(the person does not realize any effort) that helps to relax muscles and is vale of
exquisite details, that makes Asclepios massage a unique and different experience.

strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the
muscles. Swedish massage is recommended for those persons that like soft to
moderate pressure. An overall relaxation is the main objective in this massage, not

Deep tissue massage Deep tissue massage is a technique that
concentrates in the deep layers of muscle tissue. It is focalized in releasing chronic
muscle tension of the body through soft movements and deep pressure in some
areas, following and crossing muscle fibersand tendons. This massage helps to

like strong pressure, it is special for sportsmen and persons who present
considerable contractures. 60 min. $ 85 / 80 min. $ 135.

3. Lymphatic Massage Because lymph fluid moves slowly without aid of its
own pump, inactivity can seriously restrict its flow. Muscular contraction through
exercise and deep breathing is the primary means by which our lymph circulates,
but lymphatic massage and drainage provide another helpful option.
As lymphatic system circulates fats, proteins and immune cells and removes
bacteria, viruses and cholesterol as well, regular lymph massage (particularly
around the abdomen, axillary’s nodes, and breast) can be great preventive health
maintenance. 80 min. $ 125
Healing Stone Massage The Chinese Shang dynasty, Romans and
Native American used to utilize different types of stones at different temperatures

massage, fights the pain, relax the body and expand the blood vessels and
lymphatic system. It also revitalizes and oxygenates skin. Some stones are located
in different parts of the body (chakras) and others are moved by the therapist
doing a massage. The use of the stones add a thermal and pressure effect. 90
