Beauty treatment, the Balinese massage is also a treatment with therapeutic virtues. We tested it and here is our opinion.
Less known than its Californian or Thai massage colleagues, the balinese massage is a surprising body care and extremely effective in relaxing the body. Even more energizing than relaxing, it reveals a therapeutic approach to massage that is most useful when you are stressed and in pain everywhere. A godsend at this time of year when fatigue is felt more than ever.
Targeting the energy points of the body, it also soothes the mind while getting rid of the tensions accumulated in the arms, legs, back… Those that we feel and that bother us like those that we often have in the back. , but also those that we do not always guess like those that we can have in the legs. I tested this intriguing massage for you and I assure you, it is a good option to improve general well-being.

The benefits of Balinese massage
Combining gentleness and toning movements, the Balinese massage targets the muscles in depth, stimulates blood circulation and soothes muscle and joint pain. It makes it “perfect for the recovery of athletes” as explained by the masseuse we interviewed.
It is also an energetic massage that makes us benefit from the benefits of reflexology. It relieves both physical and spiritual pain, and restores energy. It also helps fight sleep disorders and relieve stress. The masseuse also told us that it had a beneficial effect on migraines.
Balinese massage: what to expect?
Once you are lying on the table, the massage begins with kneading on the whole body as well as pressure exerted on the meridians. The masseuse uses a massage oil. These movements allow the relaxation of the body, but the gestures remain very dynamic. This is followed by friction on the limbs, alternated with smoothing movements carried out with a certain pressure so that you feel them in depth. The masseuse also uses her hands but also her forearms, and sometimes even her elbows if necessary to massage in depth. Small pinches are also provided to relieve pressure. The intensity of the massage can be surprising, especially if, like me, you tend to have tense muscles and therefore find it difficult to relax your body.
The Balinese massage also includes some stretching. So don’t be surprised if the masseuse puts your arms or legs in certain positions to perform them. This invigorating massage ends with a head modeling, with a hot towel on the face. A very relaxing moment.

The address tested by the editorial staff: Le Spa Bio – Les Jardins Suspendus
We tested this new address with its cozy and warm atmosphere. With its trendy decoration that flourishes in natural and terracotta shades, it was able to seduce us. The massage is given there with music and on a heated mattress, in the comfort of a very well-equipped cabin (mirror, space to store your clothes and even your jewellery, washbasin). A real bonus.
In this spa, it is possible to choose the oil used during the massage (sesame, neutral, or signature oil with bergamot for more relaxation). We are also attentive to the client’s feelings and this is very important for this type of deep massage. In the greatest respect for tradition, Ayurvedic bells gently announce the end of the treatment. In short, we highly recommend the address!
