Addicted to Massage =)

Ahhh...my body is aching for a massage now !!! Due to the fact that this month is a holy month according to the Muslim belief, all activities of massages is strictly prohibited..Well you can do a foot reflexology, but that's just about it..

For someone like me, it's a torture not to have a massage..I usually have my massage at least once a week.( I try to keep it that way no more, no less ehheeh...besides too much of everything is not good anyway ) This month however, i can't have my regular, Balinese massage ( with oil and your naked ...well with paper panties ehhehe )

Even when writing this i could imagine a 2 hour relaxing body massage is way way better than my lunch ....Arrggghhh not only i'm addicted to ciggy and now i can't live without my routine massage hehehe...

Well there are many kind of massages available...the most popular ones are

1. Swedish

Swedish massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. The five basic strokes are effleurage (light touch), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (compression), and vibration. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks


2. Thai massage

Known in Thailand as นวดแผนโบราณ (Nuat phaen boran, IPA [nuɑt pʰɛn boraːn]), meaning "ancient/traditional massage", Thai massage originated in India and is based on ayurveda and yoga. It was believed that the massage art was brought over to Thailand by Shivago Komarpaj over 2500 years ago. The technique combines massage with yoga-like positions during the course of the massage; the northern style emphasizes stretching while the southern style emphasizes acupressure.

3. Shiatsu

Ashiatsu/Shiatsu massage is an eastern (oriental) born therapy that is designed to rebalance your physical being by rebalancing your energy field ("shi" meaning finger and "astsu" meaning pressure.) Ashiatsu uses pressure applied with thumbs, fingers and palms to specific pressure points of the body. It also uses techniques such as rolling, brushing, vibrating, grasping and in one particular technique developed by Suzuki Yamamoto, pressure is applied with the feet on the persons back, legs and feet (special set up is required for the "foot" Ashiatsu.)


4. Hot Stone massage

A stone massage uses cold or water-heated stones to apply pressure and heat to the body. Stones coated in oil can also be used by the therapist delivering various massaging strokes.


5. Deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as "adhesions.")


Well for me i don't care what kind of massage they offer as long as it's good...i'll go for it
