Mirror massage is another name for the famous
four-handed massage, or tandem massage. This is a form of
bodywork that incorporates two therapists working on one
client. It has its roots in Ayurveda (India), more than
10,000 years ago. This technique, which involves two
therapists, was traditionally done as an ayurvedic treatment
during pancha karma. Pancha karma is ancient India’s form of
internal and external purification of body, mind and soul.
It was and still is, typically prescribed by an ayurvedic
doctor and performed under the close supervision of an
ayurvedic doctor.
Mirror massage includes marma point therapy, copious
amounts of pure, warm oil, passive yoga, mudras, breath
technique, mantra, the downward flow (apana vayu), hands,
elbows and knees, intention, and sound healing.
