Your visit
Steady, rhythmic kneading warms your muscles, then thumbs and palms press into the places that hold tension, with stretches where you feel stiff.
Your therapist begins with a quiet chat about the pressure you like, any tight spots, and how you feel about warmth. Adjust anything at any point. This time is yours.
They will ask, too, how freely your joints move.
Some points can feel tender, but none should cause sharp pain.

Aftercare
- Drink water before and after, and go easy on alcohol either side.
- Take a moment to sit up slowly before you stand.
Good to know
It suits
For when travel or training has worn you out, and you like focused pressure.
With open wounds, an unhealed fracture, recent surgery, an acute injury, severe inflammation or late-stage osteoporosis, we may wait, or adapt the massage to suit you.
Before your visit
- Tell your therapist about injuries, surgery, sensitive areas and anything you would like avoided.
- Say if you are pregnant or have a medical condition, and we check the massage suits you.
- Do not arrive straight after a heavy meal.
- Ask for more or less pressure at any point.
Two traditions, one pair of hands
Your therapist’s thumbs, fingers and palms work across your body in a steady rhythm, kneading and rolling to warm your muscles. Then they press into the points that hold tension.
The tightest places are given more time, and where you feel stiff, stretches and joint movements follow.
Questions people ask
In traditional Chinese practice, meridians are the paths that Qi, the body’s vital energy, is said to travel along.
A relaxation massage relies on long, flowing strokes. This one is more focused, and it stretches you too.
Of course, when you book ahead. We collect you from Kuta, Legian, Seminyak or Kerobokan, and take you back again afterwards.
