One of the most exciting things when traveling is exposure to new experiences. While many travelers may be familiar with massage treatments including Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone and sports, they may not have had the chance to enjoy a Balinese massage. Offered by the Asian Spa at Laluna this massage style uses a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure and aromatherapy oils, and is the perfect way to slip into bliss on your Grenada vacation.

Combining influences from a number of cultures, including Chinese and Indian, Balinese massage is often linked with Ayurveda, an Indian holistic medical system that places an emphasis on bringing the body into balance. Designed to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and qi (energy) around your body, techniques including rolling, kneading and stroking, acupressure and reflexology are implemented to encourage relaxation and wellness.

Working deeply in the tissue, a Balinese massage harnesses acupressure and reflexology techniques to reduce a variety of ailments including sports injuries, migraine, sleep disorders and anxiety. During your massage a Balinese masseuse will use a variety of techniques including press point and palm pressure, sliding long exploration, short exploration and kneading. Good for soothing damaged tissue and relieving strained muscles and joint pain, the circulation boost you’ll experience following your Balinese massage will help to reduce stress and bring your body back in to balance.

Relax ahead of time

If travelers are anxious or stressed before a trip to the spa, it can be difficult to achieve the right mindset, and precious time can be lost. Spending a few minutes meditating, or taking a calming walk before the spa can already help loosen muscles and clear the mind, which can help a session be more beneficial.

Prep your body and spirit

Some spa enthusiasts swear by a pre-exercise session or good night’s rest to have the ultimate spa appreciation. Keep in mind that a pleasant mentality and limber, relaxed body can make all the difference when a professional begins the treatment.

Keep an open mind

Spa treatments are designed to pamper and give guests an overall feeling of renewal and positivity. Trying an exotic service for the first time can be a wonderful way to experience fresh things on a vacation and let worries melt away. For instance, travelers in Grenada can indulge in a Balinese head massage, which support circulation and relieves tension in the neck and shoulders. A Tatami massage can be another way to eliminate aches and pains through the art of touch while having an expert use ancient techniques to stretch and mend muscles.
