male Massage by michael

Trained and certified in Bali, Indonesia, this powerful massage effectively balances the body and restores vitality. Balinese massage is a naked, full-body, deep-tissue, holistic treatment. It uses a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure, reflexology, and aromatherapy to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and "qi" (energy) around your body, and bring a sense of wellbeing, calm, and deep relaxation.

The natural hot oils that I use help the long, full body, massage strokes become fluid and free of friction, which makes for a more comfortable treatment. I use organic aromatherapy oils as this forms an important part of a Balinese massage.

Balinese massage is useful for sports injuries also as this massage targets deeper layers of muscle, and boosts circulation, The massage techniques work to soothe damaged tissue, and relieve strained muscles and joint pain. The boost to your circulation will help reduce stress and rebalance your body, and the aromatic oils can also boost your mood.

Sports massage specifically targets muscle release and will help improve flexibility, reduce pain, increase range of motion, and boosts the circulatory system. I work frequently with runners, body builders, and athletes.

Dehydration can stiffen the fascia and muscles, which translates to a more painful massage. Ensure you are sipping adequate amounts of H₂0 before you arrive.

As for the commonly held belief that extra liquids are needed post-massage: that is a myth. Massage does not release or flush out any toxins from the body, which means it won’t dehydrate you. Massage helps with recovery from lactic acid but does not get rid of lactic acid. Post-massage, you can just resume your normal hydration habits.

If you are dealing with a serious injury, and don’t have a diagnosis, definitely see a sports doctor. As a massage therapists I do not diagnose. It is not part of my discipline. I will identify and attempt to alleviate any tightness and inflammation in your body, but if a problem area does not feel significantly better three days post-massage, you should likely consult a sports doctor.

Swedish massage, also known as traditional or holistic massage is a more gentle massage designed to relax and rejuvenate using slow strokes, friction, and light pressure. The perfect massage is to relax the entire body and ideally performed naked, and with your body exposed during the massage. This enables hands to move seamlessly from one area of the body to another without having to reposition towels. If you are looking to reach the deeper layers of muscle then the Balinese massage will be a better option.

Natural hot oils and aromatherapy oils available.

This is a powerful treatment for anyone who has a hard time letting go during treatments. Think of it as a normal, full-body massage times two. Gentle touch relaxes us - that is a fact. When two therapists and four hands hit your body, your mind reacts differently. At first you might find yourself trying to keep track of the therapists, where each one is and what each one is doing, struggling to keep it all in a very logical order in your head. But very quickly your brain realizes it’s not sure who is doing what, and gives up control.

4 Hands massage relaxes you faster and more deeply - and everything is being stimulated at once - so you are going to experience the benefits of your massage twice as prominently. Double the satisfaction, double the benefits, double the pleasure.

I create the perfect aromatherapy moment with all-natural and organic oils. With mood-enhancing abilities, they can help to uplift, revive, relax, and stimulate you.

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for therapeutic purposes. Essential oils are extracted from aromatic plants such as lavender and tea tree. Each plant has its own therapeutic properties.

Massage is the primary method to enjoy aromatherapy as the therapeutic properties of the essential oils being used are absorbed by the skin but the soft tissues of the body are manipulated at the same time and can stimulate or aid relaxation. This is dependent upon the oils selected for the type of massage that you want . The synergistic action of the essential oils, together with the physical, emotional, or sensual benefits of touch, stimulate not only the organs of the body but the muscles, nerves, and skin.

Includes natural hot oils and aromatherapy oils.
