Massage is often seen as a way to pamper yourself -- which is true and beneficial in many ways. However, massage therapy is also a natural, effective way to aid a myriad of health concerns, from general stress and anxiety to specific pains and symptoms.

The traditional oriental view of health takes wholeness as its starting point. Eastern medicine posits a “life force” or “energy” that defines us as living beings. The characteristics and condition of this vital energy comprise the essence of our state of wellness or illness. We apply traditional oriental medicine like Shiatsu in Relaxation Massage. Shiatsu is also called Anma in Japan and Tuina in China which applies merely a still and relaxed pressure at various points on the body with the hand or thumb to concentrate on maintaining Qi in an optimal condition or restoring it back to such a condition. This brings a client a soothing sensation and helps circulation.

On the other hand, our Relaxation Massage focuses on addressing the essence of health with some modern Western Massage like Aromatherapy and Hot Stone Massage. Aromas, the pleasant scent from essential oils and scented candles, stimulate the emotional brain which is called the limbic system in the
Cerebrum. It is involved in memory and the olfactory nerve.

In The Ruby Spa, Relaxation Massage is to combine traditional Eastern Massage techniques and modern Western Massage techniques to help you feel relaxed and rejuvenated. The idea is to combine the merits of both approaches. Give your body and your mind the much-needed care with our Relaxation Massage. You deserve it.
