Questions

Ayurvedic massage: common questions.

How much is an Ayurvedic massage at Arogya Studio?

A 45-minute back, neck and shoulder massage is £75. The Ayurvedic lymphatic drainage massage is £139 for 60 minutes or £169 for 75 minutes. The 60-minute upper-body scrub and oil massage is £110.

How is Ayurvedic massage different from Swedish or deep tissue massage?

The oil is the main difference: warm herbal oil is chosen for your constitution, and the strokes are slow and rhythmic rather than aimed at working out individual knots.

Can I have a massage during pregnancy?

Some treatments are suitable and others are not. Please message before booking so Priyanka can advise on what is right for your stage of pregnancy.

Is this treatment for women only?

Yes. All hands-on treatments at Arogya Studio are for women only, in a private room with Dr Priyanka. Consultations are open to everyone.

Not sure what to book?

Tell Priyanka how you are feeling and she will suggest a treatment. No pressure, and no obligation to book.
