Balinese back and shoulder massage

Choose this massage when you don't have time for a full-body ritual, but tension built up in your back, neck and shoulders needs attention. We use the same Balinese techniques — long, flowing movements with warm oil — focused solely on the upper body.

A popular choice on a lunch break or after a long day at a desk, when typical “sitting” tension collects between the shoulder blades and around the neck. A shorter session doesn't mean less intense work — we simply concentrate on a single area.

If you have more time and want to cover the whole body, see the full Balinese massage – Pijat Bali.

The treatment step by step

1. A short chat about areas that feel especially tense.
2. Warming up with oil and the first strokes along the back.
3. Focused work on the back, neck and shoulders — long, flowing Balinese movements.
4. Extra attention to the most tense points.
5. A calm close to the session.

1. Consultation. A short conversation about how you're feeling and any contraindications.

2. Preparation. A shower is available on site; fresh towels and linens are all standard. Every massage also begins with a brief foot-washing ceremony.

3. Massage. The session is paced and pressured to match your needs. You can ask for changes at any time.

4. Afterwards. Take a moment to rest and drink a glass of water — no need to rush back into your day.

We do not perform back and shoulder massage in cases of fresh spinal injuries, acute inflammation, fever, skin infections in the back area, or the first trimester of pregnancy. If in doubt, please get your doctor's approval beforehand. We cover the full list in our contraindications guide.

Set aside a moment before your session to shower — fresh towels are waiting on site. Tell the therapist about any allergies or sensitivities so they can adjust the treatment safely.
