One of the characteristics of Asian life is massage. It's a great way to relax and although it may sometimes seem rough, the body loses its stiffness and after the end of a session, most people feel completely refreshed. You can expect to get knots out of your tired muscles. It may be related to some very short-term pain but that does not disappoint. Massaging your feet against pressure points on your foot can also have a positive effect on other parts of your body. After a busy day with water activities, such treatment is a great way to relax before dinner.
