Balinese massage is simply known as -classic massage, and that is exactly what it is - a classic treatment which represents the western standard for massage. The five main techniques used in Balinese massage -- stroking and gliding; kneading; rubbing; tapping or pounding; vibration -- are probably what spring to mind when you think about a "typical" massage.

The various Balinese massage techniques are designed to improve your circulation, soothe your muscles and make you feel more relaxed. Balinese massage uses softer strokes on the bonier and more delicate parts of the body, and stronger strokes where there is thicker muscle coverage. This adjustment of pressure makes it an ideal massage for relaxation.

1. It is no secret that many people opt for a massage to help them relax. Balinese massages are a great way to unwind and de-stress, which can be accomplished early on in the session thanks to a tried and true technique that promotes relaxation.

2. A typical Balinese massage includes techniques such as circular pressure that is applied by the palms and the hands as well as tapping, stretching, and bending. If you feel like you need a bit more or less pressure during your session, don't be afraid to speak up.

3. It is this open communication between you and your massage therapist that allows for you to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible
