This is a very powerful massage originating from the spice islands of Indonesia. It has been handed down and practised through the family generations being said to ‘balance’ the person and restore vitality.
What to Expect
The massage begins by using a dry technique incorporating compression and Myofascial stretches to the area which has a warming effect and has been found to ease tension.
This is followed by the application of coconut and ginger essential oils. The heat associated with the ginger oil gives a warm and comforting feeling and also aids muscle relaxation, thus helping with the deep tissue work that follows.
The massage then works to clear meridian lines in the area and is then followed by the stimulating of acupressure points. During this phase areas of muscular tension are identified and subsequently worked on. This massage uses the therapists body weight and energy and is highly recommended for clients who prefer a firm, deep tissue massage – It has been described as a massage with ‘attitude!’
