The History of Balinese Massage
Balinese massage grew out of centuries-old healing traditions on Bali, shaped by Indian Ayurvedic ideas brought by Hindu traders, Chinese acupressure and the island's own folk healers, known as 'balian'.
As Bali became a world-famous spa destination in the 1980s and 1990s, its traditional massage was adapted into the spa treatment loved by visitors today.
