Balinese Massage

This is an oil-based massage that involves deep manipulation of the body’s soft tissue. Balinese massage concentrates primarily on the connective tissue of the muscles. The therapist uses smooth but deep thumb pushes along each individual muscle, following the course of the body’s energy channels (meridians). It is an excellent therapy for treating stiff and painful muscles and is also used in the treatment of conditions of the abdominal organs. A one-hour session of this kind of massage is enough to leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed, rejuvenated and re-energized.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage was developed in the 1700’s by a Swedish doctor named Per Henrik Ling. The term “Swedish Massage” refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.

The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Stimulating the skin and nervous system and soothing the nerves, it reduces stress, both emotional and physical.

Aromatherapy Massage

Specially blended essential oils are used in this massage, which works as a stimulant as well as relaxant. It is good for chronic conditions such as stress, insomnia, menstrual problems, hypertension and general stiffness of joints, low energy and fatigue.
