Kerala massage is a traditional oil-based massage that offers a different experience from dry massage treatments.
At Jameela Spa & Massage Center in Palarivattom, the treatment uses massage oil together with steady, flowing movements across the body. It is a suitable option if you prefer an oil massage and a quieter pace for your relaxation.
Before the session begins, you can discuss your preferences with the therapist, including the pressure and any areas you would like more attention on, and they will work as per your preference.
What Is Kerala Massage?
A Traditional Oil-Based Treatment
Kerala massage uses oil as part of the treatment rather than being performed as a dry massage.
The therapist works through different areas of the body using controlled massage movements. The pace is generally steady, allowing you to settle into the session rather than feeling rushed and helping you feel more relaxed.
If you normally prefer oil massages over stretching-based treatments, Kerala massage may be a good option to consider.
What Happens During the Massage?
Start by Getting Comfortable
Before the treatment begins, tell the therapist what you are looking for.
You can mention:
- Your preferred pressure
- Areas of the body that need more attention
- Areas of the body you would prefer to avoid
- Any questions about the treatment
The massage then begins with oil and controlled movements across the body.
You can communicate with the therapist throughout the session if you want the pressure changed, and they will work as per your request.
The Oil Massage Experience
A Different Choice from Dry Massage
One of the main differences between Kerala massage and treatments such as Thai massage is the use of oil.
If you enjoy an oil massage, Kerala massage gives you that traditional style of treatment and more relaxation.
After an oil massage, some oil may remain on the skin, so it is worth keeping this in mind when planning what you will wear after your appointment.
Why Choose Kerala Massage?
Kerala massage may suit you if:
- You prefer an oil-based massage
- You like a traditional massage style
- You want a full-body treatment
- You prefer steady rather than active movements
- You want a quieter type of massage session
- You prefer massage with oil instead of stretching
If you are looking for a more movement-based treatment, Thai massage may be a better option.
Kerala Massage or Thai Massage?
Two Different Massage Styles
Choosing between these treatments is mainly about what you prefer.
Kerala Massage
- Oil-based treatment
- Flowing massage movements
- Traditional massage approach
- Suitable for those who prefer a quieter session
Thai Massage
- Usually performed without massage oil
- Includes assisted stretching
- Uses pressure and controlled movement
- More active during the treatment
If you are unsure, ask our team about the two options before booking and they will help you to choose.
Your Comfort During the Session
Let Your Therapist Know What You Need
Massage pressure is a personal preference.
What feels comfortable to one guest may feel too strong or too light to another. You can tell the therapist your preference before the treatment begins and request an adjustment during the session. They will work as per your request.
There is no need to remain silent if something doesn't feel right.
After an Oil Massage
Plan a Little Time After Your Session
Because oil is used during the treatment, you may want to allow yourself some time after the massage before returning to your normal routine.
If you have questions about bathing, clothing or anything else after the treatment, ask the therapist before you leave.
For guests who prefer a massage without oil, Thai massage is another option available at Jameela Spa.
