Balinese Massage
Originating from Indonesia's Spice Islands this treatment works on the energy lines and Marma points of the body. The Mande Lulars massage cleansing properties and benefits are also related to the chakra point of the body. Some elements of the massage can be traced back to the warriors of the ancient art of Kalari, the warriors believed there are specific pressure points all over the body which are linked to spiritual and physical health - they called these the Marma Points. The warriors used the marma points as a guide to inflict severe injury and pain. They believed in the power of these marma points to the extent that the warriors dressed themselves and their horses with protective armour that covered the Marma Points. After battle the warriors would massage these marma points. Soon the principle of marma point massage was passed into Ayurvedic medicine. Balinese massage is a rigorous and luxurious spa treatment and a great one to choose if you want to experience a variety of massage techniques, relax and feel spiritually renewed at the same time. A relaxation massage with attitude, this treatment will boost your circulation and give you a deep tissue and muscular massage as well.
