Different Strokes for Different Folks: Insight on Balinese Massage

With the seasons changing, it is time to pamper oneself with a relaxing body massage to relieve oneself of those stiff shoulders and joints. The city’s top spa outlets are all geared to cater to spa goers, as they offer a range of massage packages designed for different needs.
Lucy, a therapist from O2, BodyLyrics, Savera Hotel, says that the Balinese massage is the craze of the season. “This one-hour massage therapy, using Balinese and other essential oils, focuses on stimulating blood circulation.  It is considered the most ancient massage therapy of all and uses a combination of techniques, such as acupressure, skin rolling and flicking along with firm and gentle strokes,” says Lucy.
There is also Deep Tissue that mostly targets the muscles. “It helps to relieve the tension caused in your body and facial tissues due to day-to-day activities,” says Sonia from Toni and Guy. Another interesting alternative is the Bamboo massage, where chemically treated hollow bamboo canes are used instead of the therapist’s hands. It works wonders as a pain reliever.
The newest introduction, Chakra Therapy, could be useful too for those who feel the need for it. It involves several steps, the first being reading the client’s body aura. A specially devised software is used to scan the body, which uses different colours to highlight clients’ varying body type. This provides the basis for a preliminary session of about half an hour, followed by a proper hour-long body massage. “Not every body type is the same, nor are the problems each is facing. Therefore, the remedy can’t be same for all. Based on this concept, we have developed the Chakra Spa that focuses on giving customised therapy for each client. This method is extremely helpful in dealing with specific problems that are overlooked in a general session,” points out Sonia.
Actress Piaa Bajpai loves her time at the spa and adds, “After a long day at work, massage is one thing that really rejuvenates me. And I exercise a lot. In order to relax my muscles, I go for foot message and whole body message. I love head massages since it really helps me  calm down. I feel really good and even mental health improves when one goes for massages”
In a place like Chennai, that has been known for its rather more  conservative outlook, the concept of body massage is generating a great deal of interest.
In fact, it is quite popular among young celebs in the city. “We have beautiful A listers, like Namitha, who is a regular at our spa. Our staff and clients get quite thrilled by the celebrities who visit here,” adds Sonia.
