Once in a while, we all need to slow down from our hectic schedules and treat our poor, tensed minds and bodies to a well-pampered spa treatment. Here's how to do it Bali-style.
The deep tissue massage is a therapy that aims to set your body free from all those patterns of tension held deep within the body. It also gets rid of harmful toxins in your body. Offered at the COMO Shambhala, the deep tissue massage uses many techniques such as cross-fiber friction and penetrating muscle compression to boost lymph and blood flow.
This is an ancient system of massaging that developed in Bali. Using a combination of gentle kneading, stretching, stroking, and acupressure, the Balinese massage aims to release the knotted and tensed muscles. It aims to relieve a number of health issues such as muscle pain, circulation problems and stress to name a few.
In this hands on healing treatment, the therapist will use special massage techniques to unblock trapped energy. Often called 'passive yoga', the therapist will help move your body into yoga-like positions to stretch while at the same time, applying pressure along the mobilizing joints and meridians.The Thai massage aims to alleviate muscle pain, headaches, eye strain and improves flexibility and releases tension.
