Massage is an ancient therapy, with its etymology deriving from the Greek ‘masso,’ which means to knead or exert pressure. Discover all the treatments, as our wellness experts are ready to take care of you, awakening and regenerating your body and spirit. These are the treatments available at the Ripa Relais wellness center:

RELAXING MASSAGE

In ancient times, massage was the most immediate form of therapy, as it applied manual manipulation to provide analgesic effects on the sore parts of the body. The main purpose of a massage is to restore a state of psychophysical balance and general well-being, also stimulating circulation.

CANDLE MASSAGE

The flame has a mystical power that makes the environment warm and sensual, creating a unique and emotional atmosphere. The slow dripping of shea butter on your skin will help release tension, providing a pleasant feeling of well-being. It is a complete treatment that combines the benefits of an intense relaxing massage with the softness and moisturizing comfort for your skin.

ESSENTIAL OIL MASSAGE

A gentle and relaxing massage, performed with slow movements and light touches, allows the essences to penetrate through the pores. The synergy of the essential oils stimulates the nervous system through olfactory sensory perception and skin absorption.

SHIATSU MASSAGE

From the tradition of Chinese medicine, the pressure of fingers, palms, and elbows along the meridians stimulates the body’s natural psychophysical vitality. Shiatsu rebalances the body deeply and improves the overall harmony of the person.

CRYSTAL MASSAGE

This is a special technique with very ancient origins. The magical precious stones, the energy of colors, slow and gentle movements with specific scented oils induce deep relaxation and the right balance of the 7 chakras.

HERBAL SACHET MASSAGE

This massage is performed with warm aromatic oil and cotton sachets filled with alpine aromatic herbs, caressing the joints and muscles, absorbing moisture from the tissues and relieving muscle pain. After the treatment, you will experience a pleasant sensation of relaxation.

FACE AND DECOLLETE MASSAGE

Our face is what we first show to others; it’s our business card and, as often happens, it’s also the part of our body where fatigue and stress are most evident. Thanks to specific manual techniques, your face will appear more relaxed and luminous right away.

FOUR HANDS RELAXING MASSAGE

A unique experience! The sensation of “feeling four hands” is wonderful, as it allows you to surrender serenely and let go of your mind! The massage is performed by two therapists who use synchronized movements, offering an enveloping pleasure of being pampered with warm, aromatic oils. The simultaneity and synchronicity of the hands’ touch, soft and very pleasant, enhance the feeling of energy and lightness.

COUPLE RELAXING MASSAGE

The couple’s massage is a true ritual that allows you to share an experience of pure well-being with your partner. The two therapists, thanks to perfectly synchronized movements, will help you achieve harmony as a couple. The harmony of the movements, the scents of essential oils, and the background music relax the mind and provide a moment of total surrender and pleasure. Choose between relaxing, essential oils, or candle massage.

FOOT BATH & FOOT REFLEXOLOGY

Treat yourself to a moment of pure well-being and relaxation with this complete treatment, which not only improves the appearance and health of the feet but also serves as an excellent natural remedy for the overall health of the body. The hydrotherapy treatment with essential oils will be followed by reflexology. The foot is one of the areas of the body that reflects what happens in other parts, allowing you to act on areas that signal disharmony. Being treated through the feet provides a wonderful sense of recovery from your “roots.”

STONE MASSAGE

The tradition of hot stone massage dates back to ancient times. Basalt lava stones are placed on key points of the body to help achieve deep relaxation. The treatment offers countless benefits: it relieves muscle tension, improves circulation, detoxifies the body, smoothes the skin, and promotes overall energetic balance.

OLIVE OIL MASSAGE

Massages performed with olive oil are considered true “baths of youth.” Emollient and nourishing, it leaves the skin soft and elastic, deeply nourishing and combating premature aging. Using extra virgin olive oil from our farm, cold-pressed, you will be pampered with an excellent quality product.

AYURVEDIC MASSAGE

This massage originated in India around 3,000 years ago as a technique of Ayurvedic medicine aimed at restoring balance between the mind and body. It promotes a detoxifying action for the body, rebalancing the energy centers of the organism.

PINK SALT SOAP MASSAGE

Thanks to the natural minerals contained in salt, this massage is precious for purifying, nourishing, and toning. In case of fatigue and tension, a body massage with pink salt restores energy and well-being. The soap is heated for a few minutes, and during the massage, it gradually releases the accumulated heat, combining the benefits of “Heat Therapy” with those of manual massage.

DECONTRACTING MASSAGE

The massage targets a specific muscle contraction, usually focused on a determined part of the body, such as the legs, back, or lower back. The aim is to restore the muscle tone to a normal level by treating the contraction with specific movements, such as pressure and rubbing. These techniques help dissolve the contraction, reactivate many nerve centers, and oxygenate the entire body, also helping eliminate toxins.

DRAINAGE MASSAGE

A massage technique that reduces swelling and relaxes with gentle, rhythmic movements, allowing lymphatic circulation to improve and favoring drainage, bringing feelings of lightness and well-being to the entire body.

SPORT MASSAGE

Specific manual techniques and postures act on the nervous and muscular system, rebalancing tissues, improving lactic acid buildup, and enhancing sports performance. Benefits are also felt at the joint level, where joints and nerves are “released,” often alleviating painful situations.

HIMALAYAN PINK SALT SCRUB

Salt has draining and reshaping properties as it penetrates through the skin via osmosis, freeing tissues from excess fluids and reactivating fat disposal mechanisms. Himalayan pink salt helps open pores and release tissues from liquids. The light abrasion removes superficial layers of the epidermis, promoting tissue renewal and eliminating dead cells. You’ll notice younger, softer, brighter, and more elastic skin.

CLAY BODY WRAP

Clay is a natural remedy that benefits both the health and beauty of the body, with properties that help soothe cellulite. Additionally, clay is a natural remedy that also brings benefits for water retention, which often accompanies cellulite.

CLAY FACE MASK

Clay masks are excellent for treating certain skin conditions. The anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties make clay a valuable treatment for dermatoses, particularly against inflammation of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles.
