Pijat traditional massage – In rural Java, the masseur is revered. He is a Dukun - a holy man, healer and mediator with the spirit world. The masseur is versed in the rituals required of his art, and the villagers place their faith in his ancient skills. Amanjiwo’s team of masseurs and masseuses all possess the Gift, and are respected as Orang Pintar, or spiritual people. All were born within local villages. Some, like Ibu Diriyah, discovered by accident that their touch could cure the hurt of a hard day in the sawah (field). Pijat is therapeutic rather than hedonistic. It is a deep massage and not a soft, pampering stroke. It can, sometimes, even verge on the painful, but the result is always blissful, both relaxing and healing.
Javanese massage – The softer and gentler version of Pijat, guaranteed to make you sigh with pleasure. The nurturing touch of the therapist will help untie knotted muscles and make you feel totally relaxed.
Traditional Javanese Reflexology – A rebalancing therapy to restore the energy of the body’s organs by applying pressure to the reflex points, focusing mainly on the back, feet and hands.
Back, neck & shoulder massage – For the weary traveller suffering from stiff shoulders and neck, with tension in the back muscles, this treatment is perfect. The therapist will focus on these areas. With concentrated deep kneading, your stiffness will evaporate soon after.
