Abstract

This paper presents a standardized 30-minute protocol for anti-stress massage, integrating physiotherapeutic techniques with aromatherapy using ylang-ylang essential oil. The massage sequence includes cephalic and caudal
stroking, friction, kneading, and forearm pressure applied rhythmically along the back, neck, and scalp to induce relaxation. The protocol emphasizes the importance of environmental settings—optimal room temperature, humidity
control, and calming Zen music—for maximizing therapeutic effects. Ylangylang oil was chosen for its evidence-based sedative, anxiolytic, and cardiovascular benefits. The massage concludes with scalp stimulation, enhancing stress relief and overall well-being. This structured approach may
serve as a practical guide for physiotherapists delivering holistic stressreduction therapy.
