Indonesian / Balinese massage

Indonesian Massage is a deep oil-based massage dating back more than 4000 years; it includes Javanese and Balinese massage and is similar to Ayurvedic massage.
Indonesian Massage can be performed on a mat on the floor or on a massage couch or seated on a chair.

It is also good for the treatment of stiff and painful muscles in the neck, shoulders or back and is also very effective for conditions affecting the abdominal organs such as constipation, indigestion, bloating, heartburn, and irritable bowel syndrome.

Hot stone therapy

A type of massage using specially heated volcanic lava stones, combined with Swedish-style massage movements, which has healing properties for both skin and muscles.
Hot stone massage is an ancient practice originating thousands of years ago from the Far East.
Special smooth lava stones are heated to a comfortably warm temperature prior to treatment. This treatment can be given in several different ways, but one way is to being with you being wrapped in a towel and invited to lie down on several warm, smooth stones arranged and possible also covered with a towel, for your comfort. While the heat penetrated your body, you will be given a Swedish style massage, probably with aromatherapy oils. The stones should be hot and relaxing. Hot stones will be used to massage arms legs and back. Often a light head massage is included.
The theory is that the heat from the stones helps to increase your hearty rate and helps to regulated blood flow. It also helps to rid the muscles of toxic waste products, which build up from stress and bad lifestyle habits. Stiff joints benefit from the penetrating heat, making this an excellent choice after exercise or any physical work. Hot stone therapy is used to help relieve stress, depression, PMT and is also effective for some skin disorders.
Sometimes cold stones are used along with the warm ones, to further stimulate the circulation. The whole treatment is both relaxing and revitalising and is said to clear the body's energy channels to promote wellbeing and good health. One thing most people say after a hot stone therapy session is that they sleep really well the night after treatment and always look forward to going back.
