Marma therapy is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment using skilled touch on specific vital points called Marma points. These are 107 areas where muscle and blood vessels meet ligaments, bones and joints. Ayurveda sees each point as a meeting place for prana, your vital life energy.
A Marma point therapy session begins with a short chat about your health and what you hope to feel. It’s followed by head, neck and shoulder massage, then continues with a full-body light oil treatment targeting your Marma points, the vital points throughout your body. Your therapist adjusts pressure to suit you, and the treatment should never feel painful.
