Dry Massage Experience: Real relaxation felt without oil

I don't usually get massages often, but I decided to have a new experience to relieve the fatigue accumulated in my body. That day, I chose the 'dry massage'. Usually, I thought massages were to soften the skin by applying oil, but dry massage is to warm up the body by using friction without oil. At first, I was a little curious and wondered if this would work, but I wanted to experience a new way that I had never experienced before.

Half excited and half worried

When I arrived at the massage room, I felt a lot more relaxed than I expected. Calm lighting and aroma greeted me, and I was instructed to lie down on a warm mat and prepare myself. First of all, I was a little worried at first because I didn't think there would be any slippery or soft feeling in terms of not using oil. But soon, the therapist came up and explained. "Dry massage uses no oil, so you can focus more on your skin and muscles. It's a way of using friction to relax your muscles and help with blood circulation."

Massage starts, cooler than expected

What I felt as soon as the massage began was surprisingly cool. It was expected that the feeling of contact with the skin could be somewhat rough because it was a massage made up of only friction without oil, but the feeling rather gave the feeling that the stimulation of the friction relieved the tension of the body. At first, it seemed to be simply rubbing gently with the palm of my hand, but as the therapist's touch gradually strengthened, the stimulation was felt deep in my body.

The shoulders and back, especially the parts that usually felt heavy, were released intensively. At first, I thought, 'Why do I press it so hard?' but soon the pressure gradually turned into a cool feeling. My body and mind became more and more comfortable as my lumped muscles seemed to be loosened one by one.

to feel the intensity, concentration, and effect

The intensity of the massage gradually increased. From the neck, shoulder, back, elbow, and wrist, all areas began to warm up evenly. My biggest concern was the neck, shoulder, and waist, and I felt a thrilling coolness whenever these areas were released intensively. This is where the important thing in dry massage is. It does not leave oil on the skin because it is not used, and stimulation is transmitted to the deep part through friction between the skin and muscles to effectively release the muscles. However, because it balances the body overall, I felt that my body gradually became lighter during the massage.

After the massage, the afterglow

After the massage, I felt that my body had completely changed. My skin felt soft and refreshed because I didn't use oil, and my body felt lighter as my muscles had been loosened. After a normal massage, it may feel a little sticky because it remains oily, but dry massage had the advantage of being able to return to daily life immediately without such inconvenience.

The 'instant effect' was the real appeal of the dry massage that I felt. Within 10 minutes of receiving the massage, I felt that my body had become softer and lighter, and the stiffness in my neck and shoulders, which I had been sitting and working for a long time, disappeared. It felt like the fatigue that had accumulated so far disappeared like water vapor.

A massage I want to find again

Dry massage was a much more effective experience for me than I expected. I don't use oil, but it has an excellent effect on relieving fatigue because it stimulates the skin and muscles deeply. The intensity during the massage and the therapist's touch were accurately tailored to my body, and after the massage, I definitely felt lighter. There was no discomfort because there was no oil left, and it was also very good that I could go back to my daily life without any sequelae.

In conclusion, dry massages were a much more effective and beneficial experience than I expected. I am willing to get dry massages again whenever I have time in the future. Above all, whenever my body fatigue built up, I was convinced that this massage would be of great help to me.
