Traditional Indonesian Massage

Men and woman designed for touch. This is the more personally experienced of all sensations. The Indonesian people understand this better than most. They carry compassion in their hands.This they pass on naturally through massage to all the family from birth to death. Without a working knowledge of anatomy, many Indonesian people have an in-built sensibility to congested, tight and hot areas in the body, which they carefully relieve with the power of their hands and the application of aromatic oils.

Indonesian massage puts touch back into your system. As well asunconditional desire to please and an intuitive reaction to the body, here is what to expect:
  • medium pressure.
  • scented massage oil: coconut oil prepared with local flower such as champaka, akar wangi (vetiver) and pandanous leaf is traditional preparation; however coconut is heavy oil not suited to everyone and it is not always used at spas.
  • long sensual strokes, working the length of the muscle to relieve tension. All sequences finish with upward strokes toward the heart.
  • rolling skinbetween thumb and forefinger to spark up the nerve endings and increase blood flow.
  • circular thum movements for the same.
  • pressure on the points in the foot and hand reflex zones.
