Stress is a regular visitor in our daily lives, so antistress massage techniques are often just what you need to take a break from it all. Many massages in Malta are great at targeting stress and tension, but Carisma’s Antistress Massage is specifically designed for this purpose. Slow rhythmic massaging to the head, neck, back and back of the legs release tension in your muscles and relax you. Special anti-stress massage oils are used to complement the massaging technique and achieve long-lasting results that even prevent stress-related health problems in the future.

Other massages like the Hot Stone Massage are also great at relieving stress, along with physical aches and pains. Special heated stones are placed all along your body to boost your circulation and deliver even, constant heat throughout target areas. This heat therapy doesn’t just relax you; it also improves your sleep and helps you tackle anxiety problems. Hot Stone Massages also improve your immune system and give you a welcome boost of energy to keep you going.

Another stress-relieving massage you may choose to try is the Ayurvedic Massage. This ancient massage technique uses oil to stimulate your forehead and your body, leaving you in a state of perfect relaxation. This blend of essential oils and herbs is especially created to ease your tension and release all of your exhaustion.

These massages can also become a full luxurious spa experience when combined with complementary short and sweet treatments. Many of these options, like the foot reflexology treatment, foot massage or the Japanese neck, back and shoulder massage, complement the antistress effectiveness of other massages.

If you want to tackle aches, pains and muscle tension, massages like our Japanese Massage, Balinese Massage and Thai Massage target muscle tension and stiffness to leave you and your loved one feeling refreshed. These massages also help you feel energised and relaxed. You may even find that your range of motion and flexibility are improved now that your muscles are no longer stiff. 

These massages can also be helpful to target specific areas of pain or discomfort, as well as boosting circulation to help reduce swelling and improve your lymphatic system. This can also be a way to tackle any inflammation or water retention problems you may be experiencing.

If you simply want to treat a loved one (and yourself!) to a luxurious day out they will remember, a spa is the perfect date idea. Various spa massage treatments can be memorable pampering experiences, especially the Hammam massages. These treatments take place in a beautiful, warm marble room that transports you to a new world of relaxation. 

In addition to the Hammam experience, therapists can use foam massage techniques, a therapeutic massage with cryotonic gel or even an antistress massage to elevate your luxury experience into an afternoon full of wellness. These massages, combined with the Hammam full body exfoliation session, leave you feeling and looking amazing when you leave the spa.

If you wish to turn your spa visit into a full day’s getaway, you can choose various couple’s spa packages that combine massages of your choice with other treats to make your day. In addition to experiencing our world-famous massages, you will be treated to lunch and drink options and have access to luxurious spa facilities for free.
