Hiking in Ubud is an unforgettable experience. From lush rice fields to jungle paths and nearby volcano treks, the scenery is breathtaking, but your muscles may feel the impact long after the hike ends.
Uneven terrain, uphill climbs, and long descents place strain on your calves, thighs, lower back, and shoulders. A professional massage after hiking in Ubud is not just relaxing; it supports proper muscle recovery and prevents lingering stiffness.
At Ubud Beauty Centre, a range of massage treatments is designed to restore balance after active days outdoors.
How Hiking Affects Your Body
Even moderate trekking can cause:
- Tight calves and hamstrings
- Lower back tension
- Shoulder stiffness
- Foot fatigue
- Mild inflammation
Without recovery, soreness can intensify the following day. A targeted massage helps your body reset more efficiently.

1. Full Body Balinese Massage
The Full Body Balinese Massage is ideal after hiking. Available in 60, 90, or 120 minutes, it combines firm yet flowing techniques to:
- Improve circulation

- Encourage lymphatic drainage
- Promote overall relaxation
For deeper restoration, the 90min Full Body Balinese Massage + Body Scrub adds gentle exfoliation, helping you feel refreshed after a long trek.
2. Four-Hand Balinese Massage
For those seeking a more immersive recovery experience, the 60min Four Hand Full Body Balinese Massage offers synchronised techniques performed by two therapists.

- Enhances circulation
- Encourages deeper relaxation

It is especially beneficial after challenging hikes, such as volcano or long-distance treks.
3. Foot Massage

- Reduce swelling
- Relax arch tension
- Improve mobility
- Ease calf tightness
This is a focused solution for guests who feel soreness primarily in the lower legs and feet.
4. Reflexology Massage
After a long hike, reflexology helps your tired muscles and joints reset. Options include:
Options such as:
- 30min or 60min Foot Reflexology Massage
- 60min or 90min Foot, Head, Hand & Shoulders
- 60min Four-Hand Reflexology (Foot, Hand, Back & Shoulders)
These treatments stimulate pressure points linked to muscle groups and internal systems, supporting:
- Improved circulation
- Reduced muscle fatigue
- Faster recovery
- Restored energy balance
After a long trek, reflexology helps you feel lighter, rejuvenated, and more grounded.
5. Hand Massage
Hikers frequently grip walking sticks, phones, or camera equipment, causing tension in the hands and wrists that goes unnoticed.
A 30min or 60min Hand Massage Oil session relieves stiffness and improves comfort, especially after extended outdoor activities.
Why Recovery Matters in Bali’s Climate
Bali’s heat and humidity increase dehydration and fatigue. Combined with physical exertion, this can intensify muscle soreness.
Massage therapy supports:
- Circulation and oxygen flow
- Muscle repair
- Stress reduction
- Better sleep quality
Many active travellers choose Ubud Beauty Centre for its professional therapists and convenient central location, making it easy to combine adventure with thoughtful recovery.

When Should You Get a Massage After Hiking?
The best time is:
- The same day after your hike
- Or the following morning
Communicate your soreness level so the therapist can adjust pressure accordingly.
