Akwaterra massage uses porcelain vials made from porcelain stoneware, a combination of water and earth. Their different shapes give them a specific function. These vials have names: Kinsei, Satinka, Kaya and Ishka. They can be used hot for a relaxing, draining effect, or cold for an energizing, firming effect. The massage can be performed on the body or face.

This massage is based on the principle of thermotherapy, which produces a feeling of soothing and deep relaxation. Akwaterra massage also works on areas of tension without the need for the therapist to apply pressure.

Proceedings

The therapist fills the vials with water (hot or cold, depending on the type of massage offered and the desired effect) and places them in a basin also filled with water. The therapist will then begin the massage with effleurage maneuvers to apply oil or gel to the area to be worked on. The therapist then takes the desired vials to perform effleurage, sliding pressure, percussion, kneading or other maneuvers with the base of the vials on the massaged area.
