Applied for approximately 60 minutes, aromatherapy massage is a very old treatment method with roots dating back to India and China.

Reflexology Massage Affecting Internal Organs

Reflexology is a type of massage performed by applying pressure to certain points on the sole of the foot. As almost everyone knows, each point on the feet represents an organ or tissue in the body. In this method, where problems are determined and treated according to the person's reactions, special finger techniques are used. The aim of this method is to return the functions in the body to normal. This method is also used in the treatment of constipation, fatigue, gynecological diseases, stress-related disorders and to reduce pain.

In deep tissue massage, the tempo of the movements is low, but the intensity of the movements is high. This massage, which lasts about 60 minutes, is used to relieve pain that is caused by tension in the muscles. It also accelerates blood circulation and helps to eliminate toxins.
