An authentic Ayurvedic massage known as Abhyanga is absolutely not a deep tissue sports massage and it should never hurt. It involves highly rhythmic deeply repetitive strokes using a massive amount of warm heavily infused medicinal herbal oil.

The primary goal is not to aggressively crush muscle knots but rather to intensely stimulate lymphatic drainage calm the nervous system completely and allow the deeply nourishing oils to penetrate the skin. You will leave feeling incredibly deeply relaxed and heavily oiled so wear old clothes afterwards.
