A massage at Grupo Mayan Mexican resorts is the practice of tissue manipulation with functional, physical, and psychological goals and purposes. Massa in the Arabic language means to feel, touch, or handle. At Grupo Mayan Mexican resorts massage involved manipulating your body with pressure, either moving or stationary, tension, and vibration, motion either done manually or with a mechanical aid. The areas targeted by massage usually include: tendons, muscles, ligaments, joints, skin, connective tissue, the gastrointestinal system, and lymphatic vessels. Grupo Mayan Massage Therapists focus the application of their massages with: the feet, forearms, elbows, fingers, and hands. At Grupo Mayan your massage will involve you being treated while lying on a massage table, lying on a mat on the floor, or sitting in a massage chair. You may either be partly unclothed or fully clothed depending on the massage and your preferences. Please keep in mind that you will always be covered with either towels or a sheet.

When it comes to massage there are specialized chairs and tables that are used to position you during your treatment. A regular commercial massage table has a heavily padded surface, is easily cleaned, and a head support that will allow you to breathe easily while lying face down. Another function Grupo Mayan spas use is ergonomic chairs. These are either portable or stationary and easier to transport than massage tables. Most people find themselves more comfortable in these types of chairs because they do not have to remove any clothing to receive the benefits of a massage. Chair massages are often performed not only at Grupo Mayan spas but, corporate offices, shopping malls, outdoor festivals, and other public locations.

Grupo Mayan massage therapists use many different types of oil including: mustard oil, pecan oil, sesame oil, macadamia oil, grape seed oil, and even coconut oil. Often times salts are included with the oil mixture as an exfoliant to remove dry skin. Massages at Grupo Mayan Mexican resorts are performed by massage therapists.

They may also travel to businesses and private residences.
