from Head to Toe

Massages

Individual Massage: Focus

Do you feel tension or pain in your neck or back, suffer from muscle pain or tendonitis, or generally prefer stronger massages? Your therapist will use intensive techniques such as kneading, targeted, deep strokes or trigger points to address your individual problem areas, working on muscle, connective, and fascial tissue.

Individual Massage: Relax

You feel exhausted, stressed or tired, and just want to relax? Your therapist will pamper and relax you with gentle touches, sweeping strokes, circular manipulations, and passive joint movements.

Deep Tissue

An intense massage of deep-lying muscles and connective tissue structures using knuckles, elbows, and fists. Deep-tissue massage is only applied to certain parts of the body.

Signature Relax Massage

A very specific, deeply effective anti-stress massage developed by our Medical Spa Director Dr. Imke König. A variety of techniques are used to release neurotransmitters to regulate the autonomic nervous system and encourage deep relaxation. For many of our guests, this is the most wonderful massage they have ever experienced.

Foot Reflexology Massage

A vigorous, intense massage of the reflexology zones on the foot, for a positive, reflexive effect on the internal organs and other areas of the body.

Shiatsu

This Japanese pressure-point massage is carried out on your clothed body while you lie on a futon. The energy pathways in the body, known as meridians, are balanced through pressure and stretching, and existing blockages are loosened. Afterwards, you ,feel light, relaxed and full of energy.

Lomilomi Nui

The world’s most lovingly delivered full body massage comes from Hawaii: Lomilomi Nui blends rhythmic music, plenty of warm oil, sweeping touches, mindful body work, stretches, and trust in your therapist and their hands. Finding acceptance and peace is the first step to relaxation!

Healing Stone

A king among massages, this special treatment using hot basalt stones comes from Arizona. Smooth, polished stones are heated in a water bath, oiled, and then moved across all the muscled parts of your body. As your blood circulation is boosted, you will feel more relaxed and return to the daily routine feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Abhyanga

This full body oil massage is the most popular treatment in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian art of healing that has been practiced for thousands of years: A generous amount of warm oil is massaged into the entire body using special rhythmic, connective strokes. Deeply calming and at the same time intensely touching, Abhyanga is regarded as a classic relaxation treatment and gently loosens even deeply-rooted tension.

Thai Massages

Traditional Thai Massage

For a traditional Thai massage, you lie on a mat on the floor (wearing loose, comfortable clothing). Traditional Thai massage is characterized by intense pressure techniques using the thumbs and heels of the hand, combined with passive stretches in which the guest is moved into yoga positions and held there. Because this activates the body’s energy lines (sen), the traditional Thai massage is also commonly used for medical indications.

Thai Oil Massage

This relaxing full body massage is performed on a massage table. The combination of oil with pressure-point techniques from traditional Thai massage ensures that this treatment has a relaxing effect while also stimulating the flow of energy.

Thai Oil Neck & Back Massage

Intensive massage of the back and neck muscles, to ease and relax this habitually tense area, carried out with oil on a massage table.
Heated herbal stamps can be booked optionally.

Thai Foot Massage

Harmonizing and stimulating foot massage according to the Thai tradition. Targeted stimulation of the traditional pressure points serves to restore your energy balance.

Medical Massages

Medical Massage

Various medical treatments that lead to the relief of (perhaps chronic) pain and/or physical dysfunction.

Lymphatic Drainage

Complex medical massage to stimulate the lymphatic system, which supports the body’s lymph flow. Particularly effective after injuries, surgical removal of lymph nodes, or to stimulate the immune system.

Tuina

Tuina, a classic Chinese massage treatment, has been around for more than 2,000 years. Techniques include both massage and passive mobilization strokes, some with oil, some on dry skin. Your therapist mainly works with the tendinomuscular pathway system. Knowledge of the meridians and specific acupressure points is essential for this type of massage, which provides a deeper effect than working only directly on the muscles. Includes Guasha & cupping.

Physio Floating

This underwater spiral dynamic massage, also developed by Dr. König, takes place outside in the Solepool, a heated saltwater pool at 35° C (95° F). You lie on swimming floats as your therapist massages, moves, mobilizes, and stretches you in the water. Experience zero gravity! This is particularly suitable for difficult back problems or to relax during pregnancy.

Please note that this treatment is carried out in the saltwater pool in the Badehaus and is only possible in fine weather and if outside temperatures permit.

Signature Skin Care

Our Signature Skin Care line is a modular dermatological series based on derma membrane structures (DMS®). These skin-identical cream structures represent the latest development in cosmetic-dermatological research and are able to mimic the skin's own barrier layer to protect against water loss and harmful external influences. Cosmetics containing DMS® have been proven to stabilize the barrier layer three times longer than conventional cosmetics, and thus represent the best care for dry, sensitive, and demanding skin. All materials are applied individually in high doses in the form of extracts, or individually blended into the creams. Signature Skin Care contains no problematic ingredients such as paraffins, silicones, dyes, endocrine active ingredients, formaldehyde releasers, nitrosamine formers, preservatives, fragrances, and emulsifiers. The collection is suitable for all skin types, but especially recommended for skin types that require special attention and care from competent beauticians. The individual composition of active ingredient concentrates or creams can be used to specifically address the condition of your skin. As a result, you receive a very personal treatment and custom-tailored consultation.
