Ayur Balance Massage was created by Chetan Baghel – director of Rasovai school of Massage, Goa, India. It is a mixture of Rolfing techniques and those that he learned by studying the massages given to Indian wrestling disciples by their masters in central India. The masters give massage to their disciples to make them stronger and supple when wrestling. It is regarded as an integral part of their exercise regime. From these two sources, he developed this very special massage, Ayur Balance massage.
Ayur Balance Massage is a strong whole body massage to relieve deep stress and tension. The massage is received on a massage table lying down. The massage is given through deep and firm strokes that focus on unwinding the deep tissue and facia structure that wraps around and through the body.
For this massage, I use my hands, thumbs, fingers, knuckles, fists and elbows working very slowly, listening as I go. All these strokes are given with varied intensity and depth of pressure, depending on what the receiver’s body needs.
The massage opens up the muscles, toning up the body and invigorating the system. It also can help to loosen and release toxins from the body and thereby rejuvenates the system. Ayur Balance works towards structural integration in the body. It is deeply relaxing as it releases the stresses of excessive physical or mental exhaustion.
