The anchoring
relaxing, Swedish, therapeutic — one single session
Sixty or ninety minutes, shaped at the start of the session around what your body presents that day. No protocol chosen in advance, no form to fill in.
People come here for three reasons, and rarely for the one they announce on arrival. Nervous tension that no longer comes down. Muscle tissue that has been set for months. Or one precise pain that keeps returning to the same place. These three situations call for neither the same pressure, nor the same rhythm, nor the same duration.
I can't come back down.
The work addresses the nervous system before the muscle. Enveloping pressure, a slow and constant rhythm, very little variation: it is regularity that produces the shift, not intensity. We're looking for the moment your breathing changes on its own.
I've had hard patches for months.
Kneading, sustained pressure, work along muscle chains rather than on the isolated point. More engaged, sometimes uncomfortable for the first minutes on an area, never brutal. You keep control of the intensity from start to finish.
There's one precise pain that always comes back.
The session begins standing, with a few movements. We work the painful area, and above all whatever is compensating for it elsewhere: pain rarely complains where it was born. This is the most technical intention, and the slowest to settle.
You don't book a protocol. You book a duration.
The intention is decided in the first five minutes, with the practitioner, based on what you say and what the body shows. It can shift mid-session: a relaxing intention sometimes becomes therapeutic when an area reveals itself. That is why no protocol name appears in the booking form.
A CHF 40 deposit on booking, balance on site by TWINT or in cash. The deposit is non-refundable but carries over once to another session. Books and courses are paid in full at purchase, on request.
ASCA-accredited. Therapeutic massage sessions may be covered by your complementary health insurance. Please check the specific conditions of your policy with your insurer.
Some situations mean the session has to be adapted, postponed or declined. Tell us when you book rather than on arrival: it saves us both a session cancelled at the door.
This list is not exhaustive and does not replace medical advice. If in doubt, speak to your doctor before booking.
Do I have to choose my type of massage before booking?
No. You choose a duration, that's all. The rest is decided together once you're here.
What do I wear?
You keep your underwear on. The body stays covered by a sheet throughout; only the area being worked is uncovered.
Can I talk during the session?
Yes, and you can also stay silent. Nothing is expected of you, not even silence.
Can I follow with pressotherapy the same day?
Yes, in this order: massage first, pressotherapy after. The other way round is markedly less comfortable.
