Would you like to set aside a moment for yourself but are not sure which massage to choose? The names conjure up images of faraway journeys, yet behind each of them lies a different way of working with the body. If you are considering a Thai massage in Poznań or feel drawn to a Balinese ritual, discover the differences that will help you decide.
Thai massage – pressure and stretching
Classic Thai massage combines pressure, acupressure and elements of stretching. The therapist guides the body through a sequence of movements, which gives the session a more invigorating character. It is a choice for those who enjoy distinct, noticeable bodywork.
It is worth telling apart, however, classic Thai massage and Thai oil massage. The latter is based on more flowing movements with oil and has a calmer, more relaxing character. When booking, pay attention to the full name of the treatment.
Balinese massage – flow and mindful touch
Balinese massage combines flowing hand movements with deeper pressure. The oil allows the therapist to glide her hands over the skin in a calm, unhurried rhythm. It is an experience in which touch and atmosphere work together to create a sense of deep rest.
Balinese massage does not have to be gentle, just as Thai massage does not have to mean very firm pressure. The character of your visit depends both on the technique and on the intensity chosen for you.
