Four more types of massage
An ayurvedic massage
with yoga postures
Here, we bring you an at-a-glance guide to the main types of massage on offer - and where to find them.
Ayurvedic massage
This type of massage is based on the ancient Indian medical system that believes each of us fall into three main types of doshas - or body types. Depending on our body type, either hot or cold oils are poured on the scalp or all over the body. Unlike other massage, this technique often employs two masseurs to stimulate marma points - or energy pathways - found on our body where our flesh, veins, arteries, bones, joints and tendons meet up.
According to ayurvedic principles each marma point is linked to specific internal organs, which means that massaging these points can help stress-related conditions, poor circulation and eczema. Practitioners claim ayurvedic massage is particularly good for getting rid of cellulite because hot oils stimulate the lymphatic drainage system into getting rid of toxins and, in turn, cellulite. What's it best for? Stress-related conditions, poor circulation, eczema and getting rid of cellulite. Includes: Indian scalp massage, friction massage and ayurvedic with yoga postures.
Face and feet massage Feet: Reflexology, the ancient art of healing which dates back to 2000 BC, originated from China and Egypt. It is used to treat a wide range of complaints from allergies and migraines to stress and digestive problems. Contrary to popular thought, rather than diagnosing particular illnesses, reflexology identifies parts of the body that are suffering from health problems.
Practitioners claim the soles of the feet are like a mini map of the inside of the body and are linked to our inner organs. Each part of the feet corresponds to different parts of the body: for example the toes to the head, pad of the foot to the lungs and heel to the pelvis. By pressing different reflexes - pressure points - on the feet, therapists claim they can unblock energy pathways in the body using their thumbs and so help the body to regain its natural balance and heal itself.
What's it best for? Allergies, migraine, stress and digestive problems. Includes: Reflexology of the hands.
Face: Rejuvanessence, claim practitioners, is a natural facelift which can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, restore facial tissue, improve breathing and function of the jaw. Fingertips are used to gently massage the 90 tiny muscles on the face, neck, skull and shoulders by working on the meridian lines - or energy pathways - and acupressure points. What's it best for? Reducing fine lines and wrinkles, restoring facial tissue and improving breathing. Includes: Basic facial massage.
Psychotherapy massage
Practitioners of psychotherapy massage believe mental or emotional pain can cause tension in our bodies. Biodynamic massage is based on the idea that 'life energy' flows freely through the body and mind unless blocked by mental or physical pain. This, claim practitioners, can bring about specific conditions such as migraine, depression, anxiety and muscular pain.
In a typical biodynamic session, a long stethoscope is placed on the stomach in order to listen to tummy rumbles representing built up nervous stress and digestive noises. Any locked up or blocked emotion will manifest as sound in the stomach, claim practitioners. The idea is that gentle massage will unblock the body's tissue of stress remnants and restore circulation and energy flow. What's it best for? Migraine, depression, anxiety and muscular pain. Includes: Trajer psychophysic integration, Ruberfeld synergy method.
Postural massage
This growing trend of massage teaches the body good posture. The theory is that our body's movements become distorted from poor habits or physical stress. The technique works by specifically massaging the connective tissues - the collection of cells that wrap around our muscles and link them to the bone. Another postural technique called Looyenwork is a similar system of deep tissue therapy designed to re-align the body, unknot muscles and restore natural grace. What's it best for? Postural-related problems. Includes: Looyenwork, Inversion therapy, Rosen method, Hellerwork and Bowen method.

For a biodynamic massage, call The Institute of Biodynamic Psychotherapy on 020-7381 9075. The price of massage depends on the technique involved, the practitioner and location. A massage can cost from £30 for one hour to £300.
