Marma Massage – Revitalising Ayurvedic Full Body & Indian Healing Massage

Marma massage is a unique Ayurvedic massage therapy that targets the vital energy points (marma) of the body. By stimulating these energy points, the therapy enhances the flow of vital energy (prana) through the body’s energy channels, promoting overall balance and well-being.

In Ayurveda, there are 107 key marma points, each of which plays a crucial role in maintaining health and vitality. Through specialised Indian massage and acupressure techniques applied to these points, Marma massage clears energy blockages, balances the energy flow, heals injuries, alleviates diseases, and restores harmony to the body’s systems. This holistic treatment helps revitalise both the body and mind.

Marma massage is ideal for anyone looking for preventative care or a healing treatment. It is highly recommended as part of a regular self-care routine, ideally every fortnight or month, to maintain optimal health and energy balance.

What is Marma?

Marma is a Sanskrit word meaning “seat of vital energy (Prana or Vayu) and denotes the vital energy points in the body.

Marma are often located at junction points in the body where two or more tissue types, such as muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, ligaments or bones, meet.

The Process on the Spot

At Sunshine Ayurveda, marma massage therapy is performed by an Ayurveda doctor or one of our experienced therapists.

The treatment involves an ayurvedic therapeutic oil massage (Abhyanga) all over your body using a warm herbal oil suited to your dosha constitution (Vata/Pitta/Kapha) and your health needs.

While massaging, our therapist will focus on energy points to stimulate blood flow and tone up the surrounding muscle at the neuro-muscular junctions. Using the palms, fingers, thumbs and heel, unique strokes and pressure are applied at different points.

The therapist may also use Kansa wands to stimulate certain marma during the session, and/or sound healing using a singing bowl. The vibrations of the singing bowl have a profound healing effect as each bowl is tuned to the frequency of a specific energy centre (chakra) in the body.

Your marma massage session will be followed by a herbal steam bath therapy (Swedana).
