How Deep Massage Should You Have?
Soft pressure
The therapist presses lightly, carefully and slowly. Light pressure suits sensitive people who normally don't find it painful to have pressure applied to them.
Medium pressure
For those who feel comfortable being pressed. Although the pressure may feel a bit uncomfortable at first, the feeling will gradually become more comfortable as the muscles relax. This is the ideal pressure for most.
Deep pressure
The pressure is gradually increased while the therapist concentrates power in a smaller area and adds weight. DaiKai's therapists always use the first few minutes to assess how much pressure generally is right for you, and so are starting slightly softer and increases the pressure gradually to that level. They ask at times "Is the pressure OK?" and you get the opportunity to express desire for more or less pressure. Suffice it to say anytime "Softer please" or "Harder please". Remember that it is often better to get a deep massage using moderate pressure over a little longer time than strong pressure over less time. And it can vary how much pressure or deep massage you want in different periods.

Massage Types
Japanese Shiatsu
Japanese Shiatsu is a slow, deep and soothing body massage given in a traditionaal Japanese room on a tatami-mat floor or on a regular massage table. The therapist works extensively on each of the different shiatsu-points of the body using either the fingertips, especially thumbs, elbows or the whole hand.
Chinese Tui Na
Chinese Tui Na massage is a fast and rhythmic full body massage that combines massage and acupressure techniques ranging from light stroking to deep work in the tissues. The massage is performed while you are lying on a massage table wearing a comfortable and soft pyjamas-like outfit, specially designed for this purpose.
Facial Massage
Asian inspired facial massage that begins with makeup removal and cleaning of the skin, followed by careful pressure on the shiatsu-points to stretch the many small muscles of the face. In addition, the skin is exfoliated and treated with a good moisturizing face mask and you get massage of arms and shoulders or neck while the mask works. The skincare products are from Germaine de Capuccini and can also be purchased at the reception.
Foot Massage
Our Chinese foot massage begins with a soothing, warm foot bath with herbal tea while sitting in one of our comfortable massage chairs in pleasant surroundings by candlelight, flowing water and soothing oriental-inspired music. While your feet soak you receive 15 minutes massage of head, neck and shoulders. Thereafter, with the chair leaning way back in the near horizontal position the therapist concentrates on applying pressure under your foot by a special program that has traditionally been intended to stimulate each of the body's internal organs. Finally your legs get massaged up to the knees. The treatment finishes with a gentle foot scrub followed by a second washing of feet.
Head and Shoulders
The head-shoulder massage can either be 30 minutes in a comfortable recliner chair or 60 minutes on a massage bed. The therapist uses about half of the time on the shoulders, neck and upper part of the back, a little less time on the head and finishes with a short massage of the arms.
East Meets West
"East meets West" includes techniques from Chinese Tui Na and from Western style oil massage. It starts with an energetic Chinese Tui Na massage including acupressure points and a lot of focus on the back and shoulders, and then turns to a slow, soft aroma oil massage for the muscles and lymphatic system. The Aroma oil massage with warm oil starts at the feet and covers the whole body with calm, relaxing strokes.
Chi
A soft, quiet and relatively deep massage based on Chi Nei Tsang, recommended as an addition to one of our other massages when you know that you have tension or will improve circulation in the abdominal region.
Aroma Oil Massage Western
A slow full body massage with varied long quiet, smooth grip, including light stroking, deep kneading, tapping and friction. Much attention at the back and legs.
Aroma Oil Massage Chineese
Our aroma oil massage is a relatively fast and rhythmic full body massage with oil that combines massage and acupressure techniques from traditional Chinese massage and varies between light stroking and deep work in the tissues. Much attention at the head, shoulders and back.
Prenatal
All our massages are considered safe for pregnant women as long as the therapists are aware of the pregnancy and take certain precautions. We have adapted our classical oilmassages (without essential oils, just to be on the safe side) so that with the aid of special cushions for pregnant women it can be received in a comfortable position (mostly lying on the side) with special focus on the needs of a pregnant woman.
Baby Massage
One of our instructors explains the principles of baby massage and starts by showing how the mother can massage her baby. Afterwards the mother receives a massage for the time remaining, while the baby can lie in its pram or on her mother's lap.
Course for Couples
This is a special experice which is well worth trying. Time for each other, in a beautiful suite, all by yourselves. A top-qualified instructor adapts the training to exactly what you want or need. Set aside 3 hours for learning basic “at home massage” and recive a massage yourselves at the same time.One of our instructors talks with you in order to determine your needs and gives you an introduction to relevant massage principles followed by demonstration and instruction to each of you in turn. You then practice on each other for about half an hour each and at the end the instructor returns and serves you tea and fruit and can answer any questions that have come up during the practice session. This course can be booked in the same way that you book one of our massages, and you can book on short notice when convenient to you.
