Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know which type of massage I want?
No, you don't. Just tell us how you feel, what you expect from the massage, and whether you are experiencing any pain or limitations. Based on that, our reception will recommend a suitable treatment, its intensity, and the right therapist. Every body needs different care – we are happy to help you choose the right one.
Is a strong massage always more effective?
No. Higher intensity does not automatically mean better results. Too much pressure can trigger defensive muscle tension and cause unpleasant pain instead of relief. An effective massage respects the current state of the body and works with an intensity that allows the body to gradually relax.
Should I mention any health issues I have?
Yes, it is very important. Before the massage, please inform us about any pain, injuries, surgeries, chronic conditions, pregnancy, or other health restrictions. This allows the therapist to adapt her technique, pressure, and areas to avoid or focus on. For acute or more severe health issues, we recommend consulting a physician prior to your massage.
Can I choose my therapist?
Yes. If you already have a preferred therapist, please let us know her name when booking. If you are a registered client, we can also look it up in your records. If you are visiting for the first time, reception will recommend a therapist based on the type of massage, desired intensity, and your needs. Each of our therapists has her own experience, specialization, and unique approach.
Can I select a specific room?
Yes, depending on current availability, you can choose your favorite room. If you have a specific request – such as a quieter room, a couples' massage room, or a particular type of space – please let us know upon booking. We will do our best to accommodate you.
How often should I get a massage?
Frequency depends on your health condition, activity level, and massage goals. For significant muscle tension or prolonged stress, a weekly massage may be ideal initially, followed by longer intervals. For regular recovery and prevention, many clients prefer a visit every two to four weeks. Consistency and listening to your body's needs are more important than a fixed rule.
What is the difference between a Thai and a Balinese massage?
Traditional Thai massage is performed through comfortable clothing or as an oil massage. It combines pressure point techniques, stretching, and whole-body mobility work. Balinese massage is an oil massage that uses smooth, flowing strokes, pressure, and muscle tension release. It is ideal for clients seeking to combine deep tension relief with relaxation.
Which massage is suitable for back pain or a stiff neck?
The choice depends on the cause of your issue, its intensity, and whether it is an acute or long-term problem. For regular muscle tension, a Thai, oil, or targeted back and neck massage may be suitable. In cases of acute pain, inflammation, injury, neurological symptoms, or pain of unknown origin, an evaluation by a doctor or physiotherapist is required first.
