In modern society, alongside physical health, there is a growing awareness of the importance of maintaining mental well-being.
Massage therapy has long been recognised as an effective method for relaxing both the body and mind after engaging in various activities. As time progresses, massage techniques have evolved, offering a range of specific benefits tailored to individual needs. One such technique is the Atlas Pelvis (AP) Balance, a method introduced to Indonesia by KARADA, a renowned professional massage salon originating from Japan.
Established in 2001 in Yokohama, Japan, KARADA has become one of the leading professional massage salons with a strong international reputation. KARADA is well-known in Japan and several other countries, including China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia. As of August 2024, KARADA has over 350 outlets across these countries.
In addition to its unique technique, AP Balance, which effectively prevents body pain and discomfort by addressing the root cause, KARADA also upholds a stringent quality control management system to ensure that the quality of its therapies remains at the highest standard.
“The selection and training process for prospective therapists is directly overseen by a Master Trainer from KARADA Headquarters in Japan, and our operations are closely monitored by official representatives from KARADA Headquarters to ensure that KARADA Indonesia’s service standards align with established international benchmarks,” stated Fitzgerald Thio, Director of KARADA Indonesia, during the inauguration of KARADA FX Sudirman, Central Jakarta, on 17 August 2024.
“Our greatest challenge is to produce and maintain the quality of our therapists. In addition to obtaining certification from official Indonesian institutions, KARADA Indonesia therapists must also receive certification from accredited institutions in Japan before being deemed eligible to work in our outlets. This rigorous process is in place to ensure that the people of Indonesia consistently receive the highest level of service in accordance with KARADA’s standards,” explained Yushin Ogata, KARADA Japan representative and Master Trainer of KARADA Indonesia.
AP Balance therapy is particularly well-suited for individuals in the productive age range who engage in various daily activities and may be unaware of the sources of their stress and pain. Habits such as prolonged sitting in front of a computer, active participation in sports, or frequent wearing of high heels can result in soreness and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, back, and waist areas. By focusing on balancing the Atlas and Pelvis, AP Balance therapy effectively reduces muscle tension, improves posture, and enhances blood circulation, leaving the body feeling more relaxed, refreshed, and better equipped to perform daily activities and sports routines at an optimal level.
As a testament to its commitment to providing quality and professional body treatments, KARADA has opened a new outlet at FX Sudirman.
KARADA now operates seven official branches in Indonesia in Mall Taman Anggrek, PIK Avenue, Citywalk Sudirman, Living World – Alam Sutera, Plaza Indonesia, Mall of Indonesia, and FX Sudirman.
