Thai Foot Massage
Traditional Thai Foot Massage is an ancient form of therapeutic healing. Its roots are in India from where it was brought to Thailand over 2000 years ago by Ayurvedic doctors and Buddhist monks.
It combines acupressure, energy balancing, stretching and applied yoga exercises. Traditional Thai Foot Massage is a powerful and unique therapy.
Whereas most traditional Western and Eastern massage practices focus on tissue manipulation and working of the muscles and joints. Thai Massage barely touches on either of these. It is rather a working of the pressure points, energy lines and basic body forces which together produce a highly therapeutic effect. Using thumbs, hands and a wooden acupressure tool, massage is applied to the lower legs and feet through rubbing, kneading, stretching and vibration techniques.
We work on Sen lines and reflex/pressure points on the feet which correspond to various internal organs, through which life force energy, prana, ki, or chi flows. It is believed that blockages within the flow will result in pain, illness or disease By working along these lines with pressure and by stretching the lines, blocked energy can be released and functions balanced ~ much like the practice of Acupressure, Acupuncture and Shiatsu.
Traditional Thai massage can be effective in relief of various dysfunctions and disease, but it is also a wonderful treatment to promote overall good health and to provide a general sense of well-being
