The Balinese massage technique is one among many that have been well-known and practiced worldwide. Targeting tight, sore muscles – ideal post-traveling to revitalize both body and mind. Mepijet is a deep, yet relaxing massage that incorporates long rolling, kneading, and stretching strokes to lengthen muscles with acupressure movements to release deep-seated tension. The therapist will use elements of foot reflexology to stimulate pressure points on the soles and gently stretch out the lower legs. Moving on to the back, targeting pressure points along the spine and combining kneading and stroking massage styles to boost blood circulation.
