Vishesh
means special. It is a special deep muscular massage which breaks up
adhesions and improves circulation deep within the muscles. It is done with
the help of
essential oils
chosen according to the dosha or bodymind constitution. The techniques used
in Vishesh massage include tapping, kneading and squeezing apart from the
more traditional massage strokes that are gentle in nature.
The style and flow of the Vishesha massage is determined by the body type.
Focus is placed on 'Marma' points. This type of massage dissolves and
cleanses ama (toxins) from the tissues and stimulates the lymphatic flow.
Vishesh massage removes blockages to increase blood flow, improve digestion,
and awaken the energy sources and deeper levels of consciousness. This deep
tissue massage is especially helpful for soothing sore, tired or aching
muscles.
