Balinese Massage Diploma
A Balinese massage uses a combination of gentle stretches and acupressure
to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and qi (energy) around the body,
bringing deep relaxation and wellbeing.
It is an oil-based, predominantly using a style of deep tissue massage,
performed on a soft mat, floor or table using aromatherapy oils. The massage
uses deep tissue movements and gentle strokes, combined with long kneading
strokes, cross-fibre mobilisation, acupressure and stretching. It is a combination
of different techniques that the Balinese have adapted and created their
own unique style. This massage is not a delicate one; you can feel it deep
in your muscles. The result is the release of tense muscles, leading to
relief of stress, improvement of circulation and promotion of harmony on
all levels.
Traditional Balinese massage stimulates the flow of blood, oxygen and 'qi'
(energy) around your body, bringing deep relaxation and wellness. Throughout
the massage aromatherapy oils are used to soothe, help relieve muscular
tension, and balance subtle energies for a heightened sense of well being.
Also deep pressure manipulation with medium-depth strokes and pressure points
is used to reach below the superficial muscle layers. This massage is rigorous
and lavish, that aims to bring the body and mind in full synchronization
of optimal health, well being, tranquillity and spiritual renewal. The Balinese
massage also can be combined with other treatments like body scrubs &
body wraps for completed indulgence.
