The treatments include Chiva-Som Signature Massage; a classic massage promotes a sense of wellbeing by increasing blood circulation and lymphatic flow and by improving muscle tone, skin texture and total relaxation. Your massage will be tailored to just how you like it; be sure to let us know the level of pressure you prefer.
Traditional Thai Massage, an art with ancient traditions, forcing on pressure points, muscles and ligaments and stretching and bending, the spine is gently stretched and relieved of tension and the joints stretched.
Chi Nei Tsang, Thailand’s unique abdominal massage is a specialty at Chiva-Som. This internal organ massage works directly over the navel and surrounding abdominal areas where stress, tension and negative emotions accumulate. If this area is congested, the whole energy of the body is blocked, slowly weakening the internal organs, especially the digestive organs, and decreasing energy and vitality. Chi Nei Tsang massages quickly release negative emotions, tensions and illness, bringing comfort to the abdomen and vital energy to the internal organs. It is effective in the treatment of digestive problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, gas and constipation as it eliminates toxins in the gastrointestinal tract and promotes lymphatic drainage.
Chiva-Som Spa Haven Cocoon: “Siam Ritual”, a fine jasmine rice scrub is used to slough away dry and dead skin cells. Tangerine and geranium are ingredients used in the Relax massage oil to relax frazzled nerves and a gentle hydrating jasmine rice body mask is infused in the body wrap. A light lemongrass lotion uplifts and refreshes to complete this Thai specialty.
Acupressure Reflexology, a traditional Chinese healing method, reflexology works on the connection between specific reflex points in the feet and all the other body parts and organs. Equally diagnostic and therapeutic, reflexology stimulates these points in order to improve and strengthen the weak areas of the body, remove congestion and stimulate elimination.
These weaker areas are often underlying causes of many common conditions or symptoms. As tensions are eased, therapy encourages the body to heal itself at its own pace, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse.
