Ancient Greek Massage

The technique is based on methods of the father of medicine, Hippocrates and on the therapeutic approach of its inspiration, Mrs. E. Tsouknakis , who studied the texts of ancient philosophers and writers and handed us this unique type of massage that was applied in the wrestling schools of ancient Greece , in gymnasiums from pedotribes and to patients in Asklepiia which functioned as treatment centers.

Aim of treatment is healing, elimination, relief of symptoms and restoration of physical and psychic function while simultaneously bringing us into contact with ancient Greek medical thought.

A Hippocratic massage, begins with mobilization techniques of the muscles in a dry body and then with the application of powder. This is followed by a more intensive massage with pure virgin olive oil, essential oils from the Greek land and massage with special silicone suction cups to deal with the muscular tensions of the body. During the session the massages alternate between mild and intense creating a feeling of deep hyperemia and rejuvenation.

“Friction can cause relaxation, tightening, growth of flesh or reduction: strong tightening, gentle relaxation, prolonged reduction of flesh, moderate increase.” Hippocrates, Kat’ ietreion, Galen in “Hippocrate’s Explanation of Languages”

A unique technique addressed to every person who wishes to rejuvenate body and spirit, to de-stress and treat themselves to a journey back to ancient Greece.
