Balinese massage is usually performed on a soft mat on the floor, or on a massage couch. It can also be done with you seated in a chair, if, for medical reasons for example, this is more comfortable for you. Essential oils form an important part of a Balinese massage – smell is a very powerful stimulant triggering memory and other associations – the use of oils can be very therapeutic, and will stimulate your body’s circulation and lymphatic system.
Expect the therapist to use quite deep pressure during the massage, as they work on deep, knotted tissue and muscle damage. You therapist will also use long, gentle strokes and kneading to relieve tension and improve circulation in the muscles closer to the surface of the skin. At the end of a Balinese massage, the therapist is likely to pour some coconut or other scented oils onto your body. Sessions usually last about an hour.
