Mr Kobido Dundalk

Kobido Massage is a traditional Japanese facial massage technique that dates back to the 15th century. It focuses on rejuvenating the face, promoting relaxation, and enhancing overall well-being.

Using a combination of gentle, rhythmic strokes, acupressure, and stretches, Kobido Massage stimulates circulation, increases lymphatic drainage, and tones the facial muscles. This helps to improve the complexion, reduce puffiness, and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

During a Kobido Massage session, the therapist utilizes their hands and fingers to apply precise and invigorating movements to the face, neck, and shoulders. The massage targets specific pressure points and energy meridians, aiming to restore balance and promote a healthy glow.

Apart from its cosmetic benefits, Kobido Massage also offers a deeply relaxing and soothing experience. Clients often describe a sense of stress relief and a feeling of overall rejuvenation after a session.

With its long-standing history and proven effectiveness, Kobido Massage is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a natural and non-invasive approach to facial rejuvenation and relaxation.

Kobido Up Ritual Contains:

• Welcome ritual as a head massage with acupressure and release the tensions.
• Cleansing the face and neck using a gentle cleanser or lotion. This step helps to remove any impurities and prepares the skin for the massage.
• Preparatory Strokes: The therapist begins with a series of preparatory strokes, using light, upward movements to warm up the muscles and stimulate circulation. This helps to relax and create a foundation for the subsequent techniques.
• A slow and calm massage  of neck, upper back and shoulders – which helps you mellow out after a day full of stress and tension. It soothes both body and mind. It helps you relax, which makes the evening rest and sleep easier and more effective.
• Lymphatic Drainage which helps to eliminate toxins and reduce puffiness. The therapist uses gentle, sweeping motions to stimulate lymphatic flow, particularly around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline.
• Muscle Stimulation: The therapist employs a range of specialized techniques to target and stimulate the facial muscles. These techniques involve gentle pinching, tapping, and kneading movements to tone and tighten the muscles, resulting in a more lifted and sculpted appearance.
• Stretching: Stretching movements are incorporated to release tension and increase flexibility in the facial muscles. The therapist uses gentle pulling and stretching motions to relax tight muscles and improve overall facial mobility.
•  Pressure Points: Next, the therapist applies gentle pressure to specific acupressure points on the face, neck, and shoulders. These pressure points correspond to different organs and energy pathways in the body. By stimulating these points, the therapist aims to promote balance and harmony within the body.
• Finishing Strokes and Salt balls massage: Towards the end of the session, the therapist performs a series of soothing and calming strokes to bring the massage to a close. These strokes help to relax the client, promote a sense of well-being, and enhance the overall results of the massage.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage has antecedents in earlier periods of history. The ancient Greeks and Romans combined massage and exercise in their athletic training. Various Asian cultures also developed forms of massage for dancers and for students of martial arts . 

As a formal practice, however, deep tissue massage began in the Soviet Union and Communist bloc countries in the 1960s. Soviet teams were the first to have a massage therapist travel with them and work on their athletes on a regular and ongoing basis. Through sports and cultural exchanges, the concept of sports massage moved to Europe and the United States in the 1970s. 

Over time the benefits of deep tissue massage became accepted, and became a part of the training regimen, first of professional athletes, then of college and amateur athletes.

Whenever you are working or exercise heavily, your muscles suffer micro traumas. Small amounts of swelling occur in the muscle because of tiny tears. 

Deep tissue massage helps reduce the swelling caused by micro traumas; loosens tired, stiff muscles; helps maintain flexibility; promotes blood flow to the muscle to remove lactic acid and waste build-up; and reduces cramping. In addition, massage helps speed your recovery time and alleviates pulls, strains, and soreness.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation massage is a smooth, gentle, flowing style that promotes general relaxation, relieves muscular tension, plus improves circulation and range of movement. 

While relaxation massage is wonderful for you, it is less effective than the deeper styles for changing soft tissue tension. 

We normally recommend deeper styles when you are suffering pain and leave relaxation for when you just want to … relax! 

Anti-Stress Massage

Anti-stress massage is a combination of therapeutic massage of the back and relax massage.

In addition to helping to relieve stress, anti-stress massage is used to establish balance, but also to remove tension and painful conditions.

Clinical studies have shown that regular massage not only relieves the body of stress, and thus prevents low immune system, but it also improves the overall functioning of the immune system, increases secretion of serotonin, and increases the number of cells that are the first line of defense of the immune system.

Anti-stress massage is often used as a natural way of removing and reducing pain in people with chronic illnesses.

Disturbed sleep quality is caused by many problems, and massage is one of the best “medicine” for insomnia. This massage reduces hormonal stress, cortisol, which significantly affects the reduction of tension and nervousness.

For this massage, special anti-stress oils that have the effect of aromatherapy are used, because they stimulate central nervous system through sense of smell, in terms of relaxation.
