Types of Massage @ Aroma Ki Day Spa Sydney
There are many different types of massage to choose from at Aroma Ki. Here is a summary of some of the more popular ones we offer.
Acupressure Massage @ Aroma Ki Massage Northern Beaches
This is a technique developed in China, it ultimately led to acupuncture. Pressure points on particular meridians on the body are stimulated with finger pressure rather than needles, to promote healing and relieve symptoms from various ailments. Energy flow in the body, known as Qi, ki or chi is balanced and encouraged to flow using this technique. Acupressure is employed in most styles of massage, but especially in Aromatherapy and Remedial.
Hot Stone Massage @ Aroma Ki Massage Northern Beaches
This is an intensely relaxing massage. Derived from the Americas, hot stones are also used in parts of Japan for therapeutic massage. The stones add a dimension to the massage which makes it all the more of an experience for the recipient.
The stones are heated, usually in a bain marie, and sometimes cold stones are also used for thermal contrasting. They are held by the therapist and used in rhythmical massage sequences as well as placed on and under the body. It feels as though the therapist’s hands are extremely warm and healing, though you are actually feeling the warmth of the stones. The heat relaxes the muscles and the nervous system, releasing tension and inducing an intense sense of calm.
Hot towels and body palming are also used in this luxurious massage technique. Tight muscles can often be released with this massage without the necessity for pain or deep pressure, however it is mostly favoured for the deep sense of relaxation which envelops and infuses your very being during and following the session. For this reason we don’t recommend going out after this massage without first having a recuperative sleep! It is important that the therapist is trained properly in the technique or this can feel like a very disjointed massage, due to the constant recycling of stones to be reheated. One hour is the minimum duration for this massage for maximum benefit and enjoyment.

Pregnancy Massage / Pre-Natal Massage @ Aroma Ki Massage Northern Beaches
This has all the therapeutic benefits of massage but also takes into account the woman’s changing body, balancing emotional ups and downs, relieving backache, neck pain, fluid retention as well as fatigue. Not only the mother benefits, it is believed that baby also benefits from this therapeutic massage.
Mother and baby feel great afterwards, relaxed and energised. At aroma ki we have “belly bags” for Mum’s comfort, these are like a large donut bean bag allowing her to lie face down, rather than side lying, as this is extremely relaxing and comfortable.
The Belly Bag allows the spine to rest in a neutral position, easing neck and lower back pain.
Take care choosing your massage therapist. It is important that your massage therapists enjoys what they are doing, that their intention be for your good, as you will definitely feel the difference! Aroma ki day spa specialises in massage, their massage therapists are highly qualified and love what they do.
Remedial Massage/ Sports Massage 
This tends to be a firmer type of massage which targets problem areas. The shoulders, head and neck are typically area of tension in our modern culture, which respond extremely well to remedial massage. Sore muscles from sport, equally lack of exercise benefits from remedial massage. Remedial massage aims to release the tension in these areas and increase energy levels. Moves can include stretches and deep tissue manipulation, fast percussion as well as the more relaxing moves to relax tension in the body It leaves you feeling relaxed and calm, relieves tension in the body and mind, reduces pain and muscle soreness and increases energy levels.
Lymphatic Drainage @ Aroma Ki Massage Northern Beaches
This is a highly specialised form of massage developed primarily to treat disorders of the lymphatic system. No oil is used in the body for this massage as it involves the movement of skin over the underlying tissues. The moves are very light with a pumping action as it works on the fluid of the lymph rather than on the muscles.
This massage is useful for a number of conditions including fluid retention, lymph oedemas, to detox, in treatment of sports injuries, arthritis and rheumatism, acne, constipation, sinusitis, decreasing the pain for Multiple Sclerosis sufferers and is also very effective for pregnancy oedema (fluid retention) and stimulation of the lymphatic system in general. It is a deeply relaxing technique and consequently useful in treating stress and related illness.
Aromatherapy Massage @ Aroma Ki Massage Northern Beaches
This is a most luxurious type of massage suitable for all ages and a wide variety of conditions. Especially effective for stress related illness, it combines the benefits of various massage techniques including acupressure, neuromuscular movements, reflexology as well as some Swedish massage strokes, with the added benefit of therapeutic properties of essential plant oils. The massage excludes fast stimulating percussion movements in favour of more gentle, rhythmic, flowing strokes. It is deeply relaxing to experience.
The essential oils are pure aromatic essences extracted from flowers, trees, herbs, leaves, spices and roots of plants and all have unique properties which treat a variety of health problems of the body, mind and soul. They are blended with pure vegetable oils and massaged into the skin where they are absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed around the body. The scents also travel to the brain via the nose where they can almost immediately influence the body, mind, memory and emotions.
Because Essential Oils are highly therapeutic, they are used in every massage at aroma ki.

Why Get A Massage?
Touch alleviates stress which enables the self healing process to kick in. It is a completely natural reaction to touch, family pets are patted, babies cuddled, loved ones held and if we or our children accidentally knock themselves we rub it better. Pets have been introduced to some of the more up to date elderly homes to relieve high blood pressure in their residents, with absolute success and joy for them.
Touch is as important as food and the air we breathe for our survival. It is vital for our physical and mental health. In the 19th century many children died in orphanages and institutions because the “no fuss” policy with children meant they were not touched. Love is communicated through touch and research has demonstrated that without it children actually die! No less important for adults, regular massage benefits us in many ways.
What Are the Benefits of Massage?
There are many benefits of massage which explains why it is now claimable from all major Health Funds:
- Circulation is stimulated, good circulation is vital for the healthy function of the whole body.

- High blood pressure is reduced. Overall massage is balancing to blood pressure.
- Muscular tension is relieved and released.
- Swelling is reduced.
- Pain in muscles and joints is eased, hence massage is excellent for arthritis, rheumatism, and also cancer.
- Many kinds of headache can be relieved as it is often the result of ongoing musclular tension.
The Body Mind Connection
Our mind is not just confined to our brain, but extends to our whole body. Massage influences our mind as well as our body.
Emotion is influenced, anyone who is suffering depression needs massage. A good massage is deeply relaxing followed by a feeling of well being and an increase in general energy levels as tension is released allowing energy to flow freely. Tension traps energy, relaxation releases it.
Many psychological disorders, including depression are relieved by appropriate massage.
The nervous system is relaxed or stimulated, depending on the type of strokes used.
Massage is now used in many hospitals eg. Charing Cross Hospital London employs massage to reduce stress in heart patients. Various heart conditions are treated, they improve through lowered blood pressure and reduced emotional tension.
