Facilities Notice: We do not have an on-site shower. However, the product is fully wiped away with a premium cleansing lotion, ensuring you leave the spa feeling clean, refreshed, and ready for the rest of your day.

+ Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage enhances the effects of traditional massage by targeting the deeper layers of muscle, fascia, and connective tissue. It is highly effective at relieving chronic aches, muscle tension (myalgia), nerve pain (neuralgia), and stress. This revitalising treatment promotes a profound sense of well-being, leaving you feeling relaxed, energised, and lighter.

Because deep, targeted work requires more time to execute effectively, the duration of your session will depend on your specific needs. We recommend booking a longer session (such as 75 or 90 minutes) if you have a taller or larger frame, or if you are managing multiple areas of pain and tension throughout your body

+ Sports Massage

Every serious athlete understands the importance of regular self-care. Sports massage helps increase blood circulation, promotes muscle growth, and encourages a fast recovery—ensuring you are fit and ready to perform again as soon as possible.

Initial consultation: First, your therapist conducts a postural analysis and asks about any muscles that require special attention.

Tailored duration: Your treatment may include the entire body (90+ minutes) or target one specific area or muscle group.

Preparation: Your therapist will then ask you to undress to your comfort level and leave the room.

Warm-up: Once you are ready, your therapist begins by warming your muscles with light compressions, effleurage, and petrissage.

Advanced techniques: Next, the therapist uses a combination of long gliding strokes, kneading, deep friction, trigger point release, myofascial release, soft tissue release (STR), muscle energy techniques (MET), and targeted stretching to perform the massage according to your individual requirements.

Follow-up: After the massage, your therapist discusses a self-care plan or recommends a follow-up treatment, if necessary.
If you want to compete at the top of your game, sports massage is an essential part of your self-care and routine maintenance. Sports massage is highly effective at improving performance by reducing muscle stiffness and increasing flexibility. It is also beneficial in managing and addressing chronic sports injuries and conditions, including sprains, chronic bursitis, chronic tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinosis, shin splints, calf muscle strains, knee injuries, meniscal tears, piriformis syndrome, sciatica, low back pain, iliotibial band syndrome, hamstring, quadriceps, and adductor strains, osteoarthritis, rotator cuff strains, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Pre-Event Sports Massage
This targeted treatment is offered prior to sporting events to optimise performance in any type of athletic activity. The therapist uses a rapid, invigorating combination of long gliding strokes, kneading, deep friction, trigger point release, myofascial release, soft tissue release (STR), MET, and brisk tapotement to stimulate blood flow, increase joint range of motion, and mentally prepare the athlete for competition.

Post-Event Sports Massage
Designed to accelerate recovery, flush out metabolic waste, and restore optimal muscle balance after strenuous activity. Utilises slower, soothing strokes and gentle passive stretching to calm the nervous system and ease tight joints and muscles. Helps reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), decreases inflammation, and promotes general physical and mental relaxation.

Your sports massage can be tailored as a pre- or post-event treatment depending on where you are in your training schedule, and our clinic has proudly supported numerous professional athletes and sports personalities to acheive their goals.

Additionally, enhance your experience by adding an extra 15 minutes of Infrared Heat Treatment. Relax your muscles and indulge in a unique experience at Baliga Clinic. It's the perfect way to unwind after your sports massage session.

+ Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy massage combines the power of essential oils with massage therapy, benefitting both the mind and the body. During an aromatherapy massage, fragrant essential oils are applied to the skin using a carrier oil such as jojoba, sweet almond or grape seed. Essential oils are plant-based oils which are extracted from herbs, trees and flowers, and each oil has its unique properties which provide therapeutic benefits. Essential oils penetrate the body as they are absorbed through the skin. These essential oils impart benefits to both mind and body, including improving mood, alleviating pain and detoxifying the body. It is also common practice to diffuse essential oils during an aromatherapy massage. When the aroma of essential oils is inhaled it is detected by sensors in the nose that connect directly to the brain’s limbic system which controls emotions. Aromas can therefore directly influence emotions.

+ Manual Lymphatic Drainage

It is a gentle form of massage with additional strokes to clear the lymph nodes. Lymphatic drainage massage is a kind of medical treatment for sluggish lymphatic circulation. The symptoms of poor lymphatic drainage are aches, feeling heavy, difficulty in movement, repeated skin infection, heard or thickened skin, swelling in the arms or legs, etc. Our treatment includes massage of the whole body including the face and head. 

+ Ayurvedic Abhyanga

Abhyanga (warm oil Massage) is a traditional Indian massage. We employ specific oils, based on one’s Prakriti (body constitution) or Vikruti (disease condition). We use a wide range of medicated oils specific to alleviating many skin, musculoskeletal or nerve-related disorders.

This massage is performed in three stages: First Stage: In a seated position on a chair; we start with a head massage using the appropriate oil. (e.g. it might herb infused to nourish the hair / relieve stress and tension and aid with sleep, such as Bhrami. Your practitioner will match your requirements. This is followed by neck and shoulder massage. Again the oil is chosen based to target your condition; like pain, stiffness, nourishing or for just general relaxation (e.g. Ashwagandha is an herb used as an adaptogen and is anabolic).

Second Stage: In a prone position; laying on the couch facing down. The massage is performed on the back, upper and lower limbs. Focusing on releasing tension or relieving pain or just for relaxation. Oils are chosen based on the requirement.

Third Stage: In a supine position; laying on the couch facing up. The massage is performed on the face using appropriate aromatic oils. Then the upper and lower limbs, including the feet are massaged. Finally, the massage is performed over the abdomen to improve digestion.

Note: We recommend you take a hot shower at home, after your treatment; which helps in improving circulation and flushing out toxins accumulated in the cells as well as intracellular spaces. It is rejuvenating as well as therapeutic; relaxing the muscles, stimulating the nerve ending, releasing endocrines, nourishing and mildly exfoliates the skin.

+ Ayurvedic Marma Abhyanga

The massage is performed by triggering the Marmas (acupressure points) using different intensities of pressure on different regions. These marma points are acupressure points, which are activated during massage to release stress and tension. Some of us are believed to carry stress on our shoulders which, reflects shoulder pain or stiffness.

+ Ayurveda Yoga Massage / Lazy Yoga

Ayurvedic massage evolved from thousands of years of traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM) is a unique form of floor-based massage, originating in India. Nicknamed “Lazy Yoga”, it combines Ayurvedic massage techniques and Pranayama (breath-work) with gentle, yoga-inspired stretches.

AYM is incredibly transformative and relaxing, due to the activation of stretch receptors in your skin and muscles, as well as the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system via breath-work. It is known to improve the range of movement for yogis and athletes or anybody who would like to improve their flexibility.

This treatment revolves around close communication with your therapist, especially regarding feedback on the stretches and suggested breath-work throughout your session. Your therapist will use a combination of hands, elbows, as well as using their feet to perform the massage while offering stretches to your muscles at key joints. The duration of treatment is particularly longer than our regular massage sessions as we perform the treatment on the whole of your body covering most of the stretches with special attention given to your problem areas and breath-work. This may be the amount of time required for you to feel relaxed and grounded. The treatment can be tailored to your needs and the massage from the foot may be eliminated/optional if we find it is not suitable for you based on your complaints or if this is causing any discomfort to you or if we feel that the time allocated is just not enough for the whole treatment, this may be discussed during your consultation before the treatment. 

This highly spiritual and grounding massage may easily be integrated as part of your self-care routine; fortnightly to bi-monthly, supporting a yogic lifestyle, or addressing the day-to-day stresses of life.

Due to the dynamic stretching nature of this treatment, we recommend that all women wear a sports bra and snug-fitting shorts, as you would for an intensive yoga session.

The following day, post-treatment, you may experience some discomfort or pain if you are not accustomed to the wide range of motions you will experience during your massage, similar to a new workout routine. After this treatment, You may take a hot shower at home or go to a sauna, to enhance the detoxing effect and any discomfort must fully subside within a few days.
