Which massage should I book? A plain guide to every therapy on our menu

By the Ima Wellness team · Updated 27 September 2026 · 3 min read

The short answer
For your first massage or general stress, book Swedish. For stubborn knots, Deep Tissue. For sleep and a softer touch, Aromatherapy. For aching joints and warmth, Potli. For tight hips without oil, Thai-Inspired Stretch. For a short reset, Champi, Back & Shoulder or Foot Reflexology.

If you want to relax

Swedish (₹1,299 / ₹1,799) is the classic: long, smooth strokes with warm oil at medium pressure. It's the safest first choice. Aromatherapy (₹1,499 / ₹1,999) is lighter and slower, with essential-oil blends chosen for you, and it's the one most women book for sleep. Balinese (₹1,399 / ₹1,899) adds acupressure and gentle stretching if you want a little more movement.

If something hurts or feels stuck

Deep Tissue (₹1,599 / ₹2,099) uses slow, firm pressure on chronic knots in the upper back, shoulders and hips. It should feel strong but never painful; tell your therapist if it does. Potli (₹1,800 / ₹2,400) uses warm pouches of herbs pressed along the muscles and joints. It's deeply warming and good for aching joints.

If you don't want oil

Thai-Inspired Stretch (₹1,399) is done in loose clothing on the mat: assisted, yoga-style stretching with pressure along the muscles. Foot Reflexology (₹849) also keeps you fully dressed.

If you only have 30 to 45 minutes

Champi (₹599) is a traditional Indian head, neck and shoulder massage with warm coconut oil. Back & Shoulder (₹849) is the working woman's reset. Foot Reflexology (₹849) is for tired feet after standing or travel.

60 or 90 minutes?

Sixty minutes covers the full body at a comfortable pace. Choose 90 minutes when you want extra time on problem areas or the slowest, most restful session.

All prices include GST. A travel charge of ₹120 to ₹250 applies per visit, depending on your area; see the travel zones.
