Many people refer to Marma Massage as the ultimate relaxation massage.

A Marma point is the traditional Indian equivalent of an acupressure or acupuncture point.  They are specific energetic points distributed throughout the body that relate to functions of organs and the metabolism in general, that can be helped and stimulated by massage.  Marma points are more accessible and easier to master because they are much larger in area than an acupuncture point, therefore require much less skill and training to accurately locate. By gently stimulating and massaging any one of the 107 known Marma points and by releasing energy blockages, one can specifically treat a problem area in the body in the same way that acupuncture and acupressure does.

The knowledge of these vital points has been used for thousands of years by Ayurvedic physicians. However, Western acceptance is gathering momentum.  In 1995 a pilot study was held to see whether Marma stimulation could help chronic stroke victims.  For six months a Marma practitioner gave treatments twice a week to a number of elderly stroke victims. After these regular massages it was officially concluded that the stroke patients showed "a modest but definite improvement", whereas "physiotherapy is generally not very effective in such cases". The Study concluded "that Marma massage should, at a minimum, be regarded as very promising".

This is just one area where Marma massage has being tested.  It is known to be beneficial for a very wide variety of ailments and chronic conditions, however as we said at the outset, its primary application in this instance, is its use as one of the most relaxing forms of massage you may have yet encountered in your travels.
