WHEN EAST MEETS WEST ...

WHAT IS IN THE ASMARADANA MASSAGE?

TRADITIONAL MALAY MASSAGE

The art of traditional Malay massage is passed on from generation to generation.

The techniques in traditional "urut" (massage) combines of stretching, stepping, long kneading strokes and pressure applied to every part of the body, head, face, abdomen, body to the toes of the feet.

These techniques aims to improve blood circulation, detoxify and distress the body, leaving the body feeling relaxed, stress-free and "lighter".


SWEDISH MASSAGE

The techniques includes "effluerage" or stroking, "petrisage" or pressing, squeezing and "tapotement" or striking.

Swedish Massage is based on techniques developed by Per Henrik Ling (1776 - 1839), a physiologist and a fencing master.


SHIATSU
(Kanji: 指圧 Hiragana: しあつ) is Japanese for "finger pressure", consisting of finger and palm pressure, stretches and other massage techniques. It is a technique similar to that used in acupuncture but without needles and with extra movement involved.


So, I called it Asmaradana Massage or (Passionate Love eh?is it?) simply because of one of the massage steps is using soft strokes and circling it into love shapes on the clients' body.

Try it, and your partner will love it :)
