Marma Massage forms a large part of an Indian detox and can have a profound effect on the body’s overall health, immune system and vital energy supplies. If your general health and well being are good it is advisable to have marma massage approximately once a month.

However, if you want to undertake a major bodily spring clean, or are struggling with a long term health complaint, an intensive healing package may be just what you’re looking for. In India, daily massage treatments are often utilised as part of a pancha karma or Ayurvedic cleansing and rejuvenating programme. In this spirit, I offer seven days of massage treatments at a reduced rate, to enable healing at the deepest level.

Each day the treatments build enabling your body to realign itself, detox and grow stronger. Initially you may feel tired or experience muscles you never knew you had but within a couple of days you will feel relaxed, more flexible, sleep better and even develop a spring in your step! Bear in mind that this is deep work, and it may be best to schedule a seven day intensive during a period when you can rest and relax. If you are unable to do this, schedule your treatments for the end of the day.

For more information on how a detox package can help you or for advice on which package will suit best please contact Lucy Boize or call 01273 474527. Massage Lewes is situated in central Lewes, in the heart of the East Sussex.

Chavutti Thirumal, literally means foot pressure in the South Indian Malayalam language. It is a foot/rope massage technique developed by the Kalari Martial Artists of Kerala India (Kalaripayattu), and it is thought to be approximately two thousand years old. The Kalaripayattu not only trained in battle but also developed a range of healing modalities known as Kalari Chikitsa which include unique massage techniques; Chavutti Thirumal, Marma Massage (Uzhichil), and the application of medicinal herbal oils. What sets Chavutti Thirumal apart from all other massage is its predominant use of the feet to deliver the treatment. Using hanging ropes to increase balance and support their weight, the practitioner applies long, sweeping therapeutic motions from the fingers to the toes of the recipient.

The main focus of Chavutti Thirumal is to increase flexibility, so the position of the recipients body on the floor with the therapist holding on to a rope for support, is paramount. Correctly positioned, the massage enables postural muscles to strengthen, the hips and thoracic area to open, and the energetic channels (nadi’s) to become activated. It requires strength and flexibility on behalf of the massage therapist, as well as a greater quantity of oil than almost any other massage technique.

I offer Chavutti Thirumal in a calm and relaxed environment in the heart of Lewes, East Sussex. It’s a thorough and deep treatment which includes long strokes from hand to foot, which literally ‘iron’ out your body. Smaller, focused strokes tackle particular muscles and aches, while the whole process releases tension and pain, tones and stretches muscle tissue, and detoxes through the stimulation of the circulatory (cardio-vascular and lymphatic) systems. The tridoshic ayurvedic oil itself is handmade in small batches in South India and contains numerous healing herbs and cold pressed oils.

Price: £70 – £90 treatments are 90 -120 mins.
First Treatment is £63 or £80

Marma points are certain vital areas of the body, similar to Acupuncture or meridian points recognised by Chinese medicine. The word marma comes from Sanskrit origin mru or marr meaning hidden or secret. By definition, a marma point is a juncture on the body where two or more types of tissue meet, such as muscles, veins, ligaments, bones or joints.

Yet marma points are much more than a casual connection of tissue and fluids; they are intersections of the vital life force and prana, or breath. Marma therapy is an important part of Ayurveda, as it involves the conditioning of these vital areas. Effective conditioning of these areas can improve and maintain a good health balance.

Prana is a form of vital energy. Prana pervades each and every corner of the body, and it nourishes, guides and controls the functioning of the cell and systems. When these marma (junctions) are affected or ruptured, the organs linked with prana channels become starved with lack of prana and some organ becomes diseased, crippled or paralysed or depending upon the quantum is of prana being lost, it may lead to slow or sudden death.

The idea behind massaging the marma points is to cleanse blocked energy, also called chi, by either arousing or calming the doshas. Like a television with three channels, each marma point has three receptors that align with the three doshas. During a marma-point massage, the points are stroked in a deliberate sequence using specific essential oils.

There are a total of 107 Marma in the body. In Tamil traditions there are 108 Marma points, and in Kalari tradition there are 365 Marma points. The points were mapped out in detail centuries ago in the Sushruta Samhita, a classic Ayurvedic text. Major marma points correspond to the seven chakras, or energy centers of the body, while minor points radiate out along the torso and limbs. The points cover both the front and back of the body, including 22 on the lower extremities, 22 on the arms, 12 on the chest and stomach, 14 on the back, and 37 on the head and neck. (The mind is considered the 108th marma.) Each has its own Sanskrit name given by Sushruta, one of the founding fathers of Ayurvedic medicine.

They are classified for better understanding according to the physical components:

• Mansa marma – muscle
• Sira marma – vessels conveying body fluids and impulses
• Sanyu – tendons
• Asthi – bones
• Sandhi – articulate points specially bone joints

Marma Massage benefits (summary) include:

• increased protection from vata disorders
• nourishment of the body
• restorative sleep
• improvement of physical stability.

History of Marma massage

Marma-point massage dates back to southern India circa 1500 BC. Masters of kalari, an ancient martial art, first discovered the power of marma points. In battle, kalari fighters targeted an opponent’s marma points as a way to inflict pain and injury. According to kalari lore, people have 12 marma points that, when hit with a knockout blow, can cause instant death. These areas were so important that soldiers even used armor to protect their horses’ marma points while riding into battle.

Along with their ability to kill, however, comes an ability to heal. Wounded kalari fighters were nursed back to health with marma therapy. Practitioners used marma-point massage to stimulate healing in areas that corresponded to the soldier’s injuries. If a warrior suffered a blow to the small intestines, for example, the marma point on the back of the calf, which corresponds directly with the upper intestine, would be massaged to trigger a healing flow of energy to the injury. Eventually, Ayurvedic physicians around India learned of the technique’s powers and brought kalari masters into hospitals to teach the art. Soon, marma-point training became mandatory for surgeons, who would take great pains to work around specific points lest they risk a patient’s life. Today marma-point massage is still a respected component of Ayurvedic healing.

Lucy Boize and H.P. Vishnu

Whilst living in India I studied Marma Massage under H.P. Vishnu who has been practising traditional Ayurvedic Therapies for over 30 years and treating both Indian and Western clients at Yoga Magic, North Goa.

Having received immense physical and mental benefits, as well as excellent overall health, from ongoing Kalari Uzhichil/ Chavutti Thirumal treatments in London I went to study with M.B Vinay Kumar Gurukkal at Dhanurveda in Kerala.

Allowing vital energy to flow is partly about letting go and being able to come to a state of pure relaxation. Warmth, massage with specially blended tridoshic oils, followed by purifying homemade Ayurvedic tea all help aid this process and are an intrinsic part of my practice.

Now based in central Lewes I invite you to try either of these therapies at Massage Lewes in the calm and serene environment of my treatments room.
