New Year, New You?
There are generally two kinds of people when January rolls around: those who have a meticulously curated list of goals and habits they swear to abide by on January 1st, and those who choose to pass into the new year quietly, without undertaking any specific new resolutions.
Regardless of which type you belong to, you have to admit that whether you plan for it or not a new year inevitably brings its own set of changes, challenges, and stressors. As the year picks up speed, motivation often dips, and the physical toll of our daily routines begins to set in.
However, there is one physical habit that can significantly improve your chances of completing and staying dedicated to every other habit on your list. It isn’t a new diet, and it isn’t waking up at 4:00 AM.
Can you guess what it is? It’s getting regular massage sessions.
Why Regular Massages Matter for Your Goals
We often view massage as a luxury or an occasional treat, but successful high-performers view it as maintenance. When stress builds up in the body, it doesn’t just manifest as a stiff neck. It affects your entire physiology: it tightens your muscles, ruins your sleep quality, fogs your focus, dampens your mood, and drains your energy levels.
Over time, this physical accumulation of stress acts as a brake on your potential, slowing your progress and drastically increasing the likelihood of burnout before you even reach March.
Regular massage helps you stay physically relaxed and mentally clear. It hits the “reset” button on your nervous system, making it easier to stay consistent with your work, your fitness, and your personal goals. At Cool Aroma Gentlemen’s Spa, we have curated specific treatments that are especially effective for supporting performance, recovery, and long-term wellbeing.
Whether you are looking to reduce high stress levels or ease general muscle pain, the Balinese massage for men by Coolaroma Spa is a deeply restorative option. It is a holistic treatment designed to bring the body back into harmony.
This massage therapy combines deep tissue techniques with acupressure, reflexology, gentle stretches, and aromatherapy to work on both the physical body and the nervous system simultaneously. The therapist uses firm pressure to release stubborn muscle knots and joint tension, while the scent of calming essential oils helps quiet a racing mind.
Balinese massage is fantastic for improving circulation, supporting natural detoxification, and increasing flexibility. However, the acupressure element plays the most key role here; by releasing blocked energy and restoring balance throughout the body, you are left feeling lighter, calmer, and significantly more focused on the tasks ahead.

Deep Tissue Massage
If you carry tension deeper in your muscle fibres or experience chronic pain from desk work or gym sessions, a Deep Tissue Massage offers necessary, targeted relief.
This is an Indonesian therapeutic massage for men that focuses specifically on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. The therapist utilises techniques such as stretching, skin rolling, palm and thumb pressure, and long, controlled strokes to penetrate the muscle tissue. The goal is to reduce inflammation, maximise blood flow, and release long-held muscle tension that standard massages might miss.
Deep tissue massage is often the go-to recommendation for sports recovery, injury rehabilitation, and persistent muscle tightness. By promoting heavy blood circulation, it supports the release of toxins built up in the muscles and improves your mobility and flexibility over time.

- 120 minutes: AED 475
Thai Massage
Thai Massage is unique because it is an interactive therapy. During a session, the therapist applies controlled pressure to specific energy lines and points, increasing blood flow and flushing out toxins.
The deep, continuous strokes loosen tight muscles, but the real magic lies in the assisted stretching. This restores elasticity to your body, making your daily movement smoother and more comfortable. Regular sessions are excellent for relieving chronic pain and preventing the stiffness that comes with ageing or sedentary jobs.
Furthermore, Thai Massage supports weight management in a way many don’t realise. By burning fat and boosting metabolism through the combination of pressure and stretching, it stimulates fat breakdown and helps tone the body. It is especially useful if you are currently on a weight loss journey, as it helps prevent sagging skin and reduces stretch marks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a massage to see real benefits?
To treat massage as a true habit that improves your performance, consistency is key. For general maintenance and stress relief, we recommend one session every two to four weeks. If you are training heavily for a sport or recovering from an injury, you might benefit from weekly sessions until your muscles have recovered.
Will Thai Massage be painful?
Thai massage involves stretching and pressure points, so it is more interactive than a standard oil massage. You may feel some intensity during the stretches, often described as “good pain” or a deep release. However, it should never be unbearable. Our therapists are trained to adjust the pressure to your comfort level, ensuring you leave feeling loose, not battered.
Do I need to do anything before my appointment?
Try to hydrate well before coming in, as well-hydrated muscles respond better to massage. Avoid eating a heavy meal right before your session. Most importantly, arrive a few minutes early to disconnect from the outside world.
