"On a day like this, dry horses are the best" — escape from fatigue with dry massages!

These days, my body is particularly heavy, and no matter how much I sleep, I don't feel refreshed. My neck is stiff and my shoulders are stiff like a stone. It doesn't hurt anywhere, but the feeling of being dazed... Is it just me?

So a few days ago, I got my first dry massage as a friend's recommendation. Actually, at first, I was like, "Dry horse? What's that?" but it turned out to be short for dry massage. I didn't feel pressured because I could get it without using oil or taking off my clothes. When I got it, it was much cooler and fresher than I thought, so I wondered, "Why did you just find out?"

Dry horse, real oil-free massage

When you think of massages these days, most people think of applying oil like swaddish or aroma. But dry horses don't use oil or cream at all. It's literally dry. They change into casual clothes and massage each other based on acupressure using hands and elbows. You can get them without much preparation, so they're perfect for stopping by after work.

What I got was a 60-minute full-body program, especially my shoulders and waist. The massage parlour pressed my back and said, "It's really clumped up here." It hurts, but it feels cool... You know, right? It feels different when you press the clump properly.

I can see why everyone falls for dry skin

The biggest attraction of dry horses is that they can definitely control their intensity. They reacted right away when I said, "Press it a little harder," and I was relieved to know that they would proceed without any inconvenience. Most of all, there was no oil left after receiving it, so it was so convenient to clean up. I didn't need a shower, I just got dressed right away, had a cup of coffee, and went home.

And from what I heard, dry horses are really good for improving blood circulation, relaxing muscles and recovering from fatigue. They say it's a perfect massage for office workers like me who sit in front of the computer for a long time.

I recommend it to people like this!

an office worker who sits and works all day

Anyone with turtle neck and shoulder pain because they use smartphones a lot

Anyone who feels uncomfortable or uncomfortable with the oil massage

Anyone who has muscle clumping after working out

a busy modern man who wants to relieve his fatigue quickly

Tips for getting dried!

If it's your first time, it's better to start with a medium intensity rather than too much pressure. Each person has a different degree of pain. And after getting a massage, I recommend drinking a lot of water, taking a warm shower, or stretching lightly. It makes your body feel lighter and more relaxed.

Let's wrap this up... 건마

To be honest, before I got the dry horse, I thought, "It's just that kind of massage." But when I got it in person, it was definitely different. It feels like I'm getting my body care in a practical way, not like an oil massage. Besides, there are many companies specializing in dry horse these days, so the quality is pretty good.

If you're still tired these days, I highly recommend getting a dry massage rather than just taking a rest. It might be a lot of healing than you think. 😊
