Maxam: Bliss from head to foot

A tranquil face and relaxed feet due to the two new massages of the Institut Maxam, kiss goodbye to your frowns and heavy legs! What is the secret? Techniques imported straight from Japan and India. Operation: Mukha and Soku Shindo.



A smooth face


More effective and less intrusive that Botox, Mukha is without a doubt the secret of Indian beauty to conserve the face fresh and vibrant. Using rose essential oils, this massage is able to smooth by kneading and rubbing to tone the muscular tissue and skin. It also improves the blood circulation and energy. The result: the muscular tension is unravelled, the features are less drawn, the stress is evacuated and the worry lines softened. A skin like a baby after a good night's sleep that will give us a sudden desire to dance like an Indian!



Feet: the roots of relaxation


We know that the feet are the head quarters of reflex points that correspond specifically to the organs, different systems, and parts of our bodies. And so a massage of this vital zone will benefit various specific parts of our body. First appearing in China and India, and then later developed further by the Japanese, Soku Shindo concentrates its gentle strokes, on kneading and stimulating the lower leg, the back and off course the sole of the foot. It warms up the extremities and relieves pain in the arch of the foot. Very rapidly, the tissue becomes soft, the muscles relax, and the circulation improves. Complete relaxation. Fall head over heels for it.

My opinion:
I like this place which wants to distance itself from the traditional clichés of beauty spas and does very well doing so. There is an authentic ambiance, professional staff, real relaxing massages and the start of understanding the needs of our bodies.
The foot massage is truly different from those I have had up until now. The therapist, a "nearly blind", has a heightened sensibility and knows how to detect my little aches and pains. Worth a visit to gain winged feet!
