Balinese Head Massage
About 6,000 years ago, on the Indonesia’s Spice Islands of Bali, developed a ritual that was performed on the
body that linked to the healing of emotional and physical health. These treatments were also used in the
family homes as a vital part of the day to day life where family members would practice it on each other after
a hard day of labour and tiredness.
It is a smoothing and relaxing massage predominantly to the head, neck and shoulders, that uses elongated
strokes with the hands and forearms and incorporates elements of Shiatsu and Acupressure points to loosen
spasm and emotional tension. The massage is flowing and bring in a sense of balance and peace to the body.
Balinese massage techniques include acupressure, skin rolling and flicking, firm and gentle stroking,
percussion, and application of essential oils. The combination of manual therapy and aromatherapy is
intended for relaxation, loosening fascial restrictions, and stimulating the lymphatic system and the flow of
blood.
