The Kobido Ritual
Originating in Japan, Kobido is one of the most complex facial massage techniques in the world, known for its intricate hand & finger choreography and unmatched face-lifting qualities.
For centuries it was reserved for aristocracy; now it is now rapidly growing in popularity (especially in Europe) and being praised as a natural alternative to Botox or a non-surgical facelift.
How it works.
The Kobido Ritual combines deep tissue work, myofascial release, muscle relaxation & stretching, lymphatic drainage, lifting and acupressure.
​
The benefits are numerous, and include:
​
-
release muscle tension through face, neck and shoulders
-
relax over-active facial muscles, reducing dynamic line formation (expression lines)
-
improve lymph circulation, reducing puffiness and water retention
-
improve blood circulation, increasing nutrient and oxygen delivery to the skin and removal of waste products
-
stimulate the vagus nerve
-
reduce headaches
-
improve sleep
-
reduce teeth grinding/clenching (bruxism)
-
stress reduction, complete relaxation, and nervous system regulation
-
an overall lifted appearance and glow to the skin following the release of tension, and improvement of lymphatic and blood circulation
-
improved neck mobility and posture
