In India, massage has long been a part of life. Indeed, ayurvedic massage is more than a form of therapy, it is a way of promoting good health. Ayurvedic massage is a natural and effective method for stimulating the flow of energy, circulation and the metabolism, for nourishing and regenerating vital fabrics, and for eliminating toxins and relaxation.
Where to go
Ayurvedic massages are offered at the Ayuma center, located at Haštalská 27. Opened only one year ago, the center is an oasis of calm and relaxation. Its skilled masseuses can offer reflexology, head and neck, or full body massages.
As opposed to the usual erotic stereotypes, true Thai massage is a form of preventative care. In Thailand, it is even practised at hospitals and recognized as a form of therapeutic care by the Ministry of Health. This style of massage is very popular in Prague. It is usually practised by masseuses from Thailand.
