Body care involves rubbing and pressing to remove stiffness from the body, warming the muscles and promoting blood circulation. The therapist will approach the muscles using the thumb, palm, elbow, etc. according to the shape of the part and the condition of the muscle. While approaching the painful stiffness, we will treat to promote the flow of lymph. Since no oil is used, there is no need to take a shower after the treatment. Depending on your preference, you can apply it over your bare skin or over your clothes.
Muscle stiffness pushes the blood in the capillaries in the muscle toward the veins by applying pressure. In this way, the blood flow is physically promoted, and the nutrients and oxygen carried by the blood carry out the metabolism of each cell that makes up the muscles, and the stiffness is loosened. In addition, since it promotes the flow of lymph by rubbing the skin and controls the body's moisture, it is often effective in removing swelling and improving the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
If you are tired and have chronic stiffness and discomfort for a long time, the stiffened muscles will swell up like a steel plate, and not only the stiffness of the muscles themselves, but also the bones such as tendons and ligaments. In many cases, even the part where it adheres becomes hard and difficult to move. By approaching not only muscles but also hardened tendons, ligaments, and fascia that covers muscles, we will quickly remove discomfort. Depending on the condition of the stiffness, it is impossible to know how many minutes of massage will reduce the stiffness, so we may recommend that you extend the massage. In such a case, it is considered desirable to have body care for about 120 minutes.

We can respond to any request, such as strength, rhythm, and touch. In addition to reducing stiffness, you can improve your natural healing power by controlling blood flow and moisture throughout your body. You can feel refreshed, and by continuing to receive it, you will improve your constitution.
