Balinese massage is a full-body, deep-tissue, holistic treatment that originates from the Indonesian island of Bali. It uses a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure, reflexology, and aromatherapy to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen, and “qi” (energy) around your body, and bring a sense of wellbeing, calm, and deep relaxation.
Balinese massage therapy incorporates a variety of techniques including skin rolling, kneading and stroking, and pressure-point stimulation, combined with the aromas of essential oils. It is used for a variety of ailments including headache, muscular pain, joint pain, sleep disorder, stress, and anxiety, or as a relaxation and wellness treatment.
Some of the benefits of Balinese massage include:
- Relief of Tense Muscles: The massage works on the deeper layers of muscle tissue to relieve sore muscles and joint pain.
- Increased Blood Flow: The treatment improves circulation, which aids in reducing tension and stress.
- Detoxification: The massage helps to detoxify the body by stimulating the lymphatic system.
- Nourished Skin: The use of vegetable oils such as coconut, sesame, Tahitian monoi, and jojoba nourishes and softens the skin.
- Mental Relaxation: The combination of holistic treatment with aromatherapy helps in mental relaxation and alleviation of stress and depression.
In Singapore, Balinese massage is offered at various spas, where therapists are skilled in both traditional and innovative therapies, ensuring a rejuvenating experience.
