Balinese massage therapy is regarded as a traditional form of Ayurvedic medical care that is popular today due to its effectiveness and comfort. This specialized therapeutic massage was developed for easing and relieving muscle pain, treatment of anxiety and depression, improvement in blood and oxygen flow, relief from mental and physical stress and many more.

During the early years, this traditional Indonesian massage therapy was considered as one of the most capable alternative and natural medical care. This therapy combines the effective application of pressure on the meridian through acupressure, correct manipulation of body parts with reflexology, stimulation of the nerves and the development of heightened senses of wellness through Swedish massage and the calm state of the body and mind with aromatherapy massage. Basically, it brings the best out of the several alternative medical practices in massage therapy.

This type of therapy has branched to various types of therapy that were derived from its traditional form and shares the same goal in improving the mental and physical condition of the patient.

Balinese massage is popular in bringing the whole body and mind in a state of ultimate relaxation. Aromatherapy massage is considered as a form of natural treatment that uses the aid of essential oils to manipulate the senses and mood of the client. The scented oils as well as the scented candles contribute greatly in creating a wonderful working environment for the therapist and a good mood for the patient. Sandalwood, rose, jasmine, lavender, and chamomile are some of the essential oils used on the skin of the client during the massage session. Each of the scented oil contains vitamins and minerals that helps in soothing muscle pain, relaxing the senses, and enhances the skin.

During the therapy session where the patient is set lying on a conventional massage table or on soft and firm matting on the floor, the therapist conducts the various massage techniques on the different parts of the body. Essential oils are applied on the treated area to enhance the effects and benefits acquired with every stroke of the therapy.

Deep tissues all over the body are targeted during the therapy to remove muscle pain. Patients who are suffering from neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, and other muscular parts of the body can greatly benefit from the amazing result after a Balinese session. Ginger, lemongrass, or cloves are also applied on a mixture of essential oils to help rejuvenate the body from all types of muscle pain.

Although this type of therapy is proven to be effective against muscle pain, knowing your current condition and medical history should be part of your considerations before taking this therapy. It would be best for you or your baby if you know whether you are pregnant or not. Limb or joint problems should be noted and discussed with the therapist prior to any therapy to avoid worsening the current condition. Although Balinese massage contributes in improving the circulation within the body, patients with low or high blood pressure should inform their massage therapist during the evaluation procedure.
