Key characteristics of Balinese Massage include:

Pressure Points and Strokes: The massage involves a combination of techniques such as acupressure, kneading, rolling, and stroking to stimulate blood flow, ease muscle tension, and promote relaxation.

Aromatherapy: Essential oils, often blended with local herbs and spices like ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass, are commonly used during Balinese massage to enhance relaxation and provide additional therapeutic benefits.

Stretching and Joint Movement: Therapists might incorporate gentle stretching and movements to improve flexibility, release tension, and improve the flow of energy in the body.

Energy Flow and Spiritual Elements: Balinese massage often includes elements focused on balancing the body’s energy flow, influenced by traditional Balinese beliefs in spirituality and energy.

Deep Tissue Work: While it can be relaxing, Balinese massage also involves deeper pressure in some areas to target specific muscle tension and knots.

The benefits of Balinese massage include: stress relief, improved circulation, increased energy levels, relaxation of muscles, and an overall sense of well-being. It’s popular among tourists visiting Bali and those seeking a massage that incorporates both relaxation and therapeutic elements.
