Massage with Sabunlama foam is very popular, this type of procedure is at the same time a massage of the whole body and gives a deep cleansing effect of the whole organism.
Another type of foam massage in the hammam is foot massage: the master does not massage the client’s body, but his feet. Such a session contributes to the awakening of internal energy. The foot massage procedure is accompanied by pleasant relaxing melodies, while candles are burning in the room and the smell of Turkish incense is felt.
Regardless of the type, each foam massage procedure ends with a calm rest and relaxation with a cup of herbal tea.
Accessories
The main accessory for massage in the hammam is a bag for whipping foam, which is called "Kopuk Torbashi". Using such a bag, using soap and water, you can get a large amount of thick soapy foam. The bag itself is made of 100% cotton, due to which the foam is easily squeezed through the fabric onto the client's body.
A must-have accessory is a foam soap in the hammam, which should be made only from natural ingredients. Qualified masters recommend the use of “Sabun” olive soap, which is made specifically for use in massage baths.
To enhance the effect of foam massage in a soapy foam, you can add a variety of fragrances, essential oils and infusions of herbs. Recently, essential oil of orange, as well as coconut milk, has gained great popularity.
How to massage in a hammam?
At the very beginning of the procedure, the human body is heated in a steam room for relaxation. At this time, the master is engaged in the preparatory phase of obtaining a large amount of foam; for this, several pieces of chopped soap are placed in the Kopuk Torbashi, after which the bag with soap is placed in hot water. The soap dissolves and after 5 to 10 minutes the bag is taken out of the water, shaken vigorously, which contributes to the appearance of a voluminous and light soap foam.
The foam is evenly squeezed out of the bag onto the client’s body, after which the master proceeds to massage. It carries out superficial and deep stroking. During the procedure, the client can feel the circular, transverse and longitudinal movements of the hands of the master. Further, the specialist proceeds to more intense and strong movements and vibrations. He pays special attention to the lymph nodes in the armpits. At the end of the procedure, the shoulder joint, forearm, palms and feet are worked through. While massaging certain parts of the body, other unused areas should be covered with a terry blanket.
The massage procedure ends with blows of water over the body, which fixes the effect of the procedure and models the figure. After the massage, a nourishing cream or essential oil is applied to the client’s body.
Only qualified massage therapists should perform Turkish foam massage, whose level of training is so high that they do not allow even a drop of foam to get into the client's face.
