Bali is not only famous for its beautiful nature. With the strong preserved culture, Bali offers many activities that can be enjoyed by any visitor. One of them is a traditional health therapy in the form of massage. It's the Balinese Massage! Your visiting experience in Bali will not be complete if you don't try the massage. The Balinese Full Body Massage is one of the best-selling treatments in many spas in Bali, among the other types of massages.

Do you already know what makes the Balinese Massage unique compared to the others? You can find it in this article.

1. Relaxing Massage
   The primary purpose of Balinese Massage is to relax your body. The massage movements are gentle and slow, which will reduce muscle tension. It is different from the other massages, such as the Deep Tissue Massage, which focuses on restoring the inner muscle layers after heavy activities.
   
2. They Mix Scented Massage Oil & Cream
   Balinese Massage uses a mixture of oil and massage cream, which is applied to the body. This mix will facilitate the therapist's movements while the light and distinctive aroma accelerate the relaxation process. The familiar scents that you will find are jasmine and frangipani. However, the intensity of the scents is usually lower than what we can find in an Aroma Therapy Massage.
   
3. Massage Techniques
   There are various techniques used in Balinese Massage, including massage with the palms, thumbs, and fists. During the massage, you can also ask the therapist to adjust the pressure to be soft, medium, or firm, to make you feel more comfortable.
   
4. Massage Movement
   In a Balinese massage, the therapist tends to move slowly following the grooves of the muscles and the targeted points, including the muscles between the bones. This is different from the Deep Tissue Massage, which focuses on the inner layers of the muscles, or a Thai Massage which focuses on stretching with yoga movements.
