Published

on

Embark on a COMO Journey at luxury lifestyle resort COMO Cocoa Island from October 1st to November 30th 2023 with visiting practitioner, Julian Eymann as he guides guests through a series of wellness experiences.

Consisting of various therapies and a conversation in which you can learn more about trigger-point therapy, this journey will transform your approach to wellness. Eymann’s methods will help you to free yourself from deep muscle pain, in order to achieve a sense of physical and emotional wellbeing.

Eymaan will be offering these treatments during his residency:-

  • Trigger-point Therapy: The fastest and most direct way of identifying and working on very specific points on the body, trigger-point therapy targets areas which  were affected by inflammation and helps to uncover areas where tight muscles restrict movement. As part of the therapy, Eymann works through your entire body with rocking motions, moving all major joints, ligaments and tendons.
  • Structural Realignment: This treatment targets every major joint in your body, and aims to help move energy through your body by applying sufficient pressure where it is needed. This will help to realign your joints, and loosen stiff ligaments, helping you to emerge feeling younger, lighter and with better posture than before.
  • Deep-tissue and Sports Massage: This massage uses a combination of treatments that create a unique effect that is both anti-ageing and helps you feel lighter. With firm strokes, tightness around old injuries and in your muscles; as well as stiffness in your joints, are all relieved. This massage also aims to help realign your muscles and connective tissue, helping to reduce risk of future injury.

Treatments are of 60-minute or 90-minute durations priced US$180 and US$280 respectively. Prices are subject to prevailing government tax and service charge.

Guests can also engage in a COMO Conversation where Eymann will share more of his background and experience, followed by a Q&A session. He will offer complimentary trigger-point yoga session every Friday at 8:00 am, combining movement and mindfulness to enhance their wellness journey.

Tucked away in South Male Atoll and reached by a 40-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport, COMO Cocoa Island is an intimate retreat with 33 overwater villas, most recognisable for its signature Dhoni Water Villas with the villa exterior capturing the essence of a traditional Maldivian boat.
