Watermark Spa has launched a new massage service - facial massage. Facial massage is based on the theory of reflexology. There are various pressure points in the face and scalp, that are related with different body organs.
The service benefits people suffering from allergies, sinus congestion, headaches, insomnia, depression, and even people who suffer from migraine have felt relief. Facial massage has its own tricks that the massage therapist must know.
To maximize the benefits of facial massage the therapist first applies pressure on the point, then waits for the release, and after that drains the excess fluid away from the pressure point and down the face.

Lolilomi - a Polynesian medical massage - is a massage style where the massagers use more of their bodies than just hands when massaging. Lolilomi as a whole may also include branches of nutrition, prayer and meditation as a part of it.
When performing Lolilomi massage the massagists uses his/her forehand, elbows and blades of the hand. The movement is different too. It may look like the therapist is dancing around the massage table.
Some massage facilities offer Lolilomi massage of two therapists. In this case the two therapists must be working in harmony or it can be distracting for the client. This method has the advantage that the client doesn’t know what part of the body is being touched next.
