Traditional Thai Foot Massage
Thai Foot Massage is much more than a fancy foot rub!
Thai Foot Massage (also known as Thai Reflexology) is much more than a fancy foot rub!
In addition to being a relaxing and energizing massage of the feet and lower legs, it delivers a form of light acupressure that impacts the entire body.
Thai Foot massage is a smorgasbord of ancient healing therapies of Reflexology, Chinese Tuina, Japanese Shiatsu and Indian Ayurvedic yoga. Working with the feet, lower leg and knees.
It involves hands on massage and stretching techniques opening the ‘Sen’ energy lines, along with the use of a traditional Thai massage stick. It is said that the knowledge and techniques of this 2,000 year-old massage therapy were the closely held secrets of the Buddhist monks of the Thai Royal Palace; kept alive and passed down through generations.
Hands, fingers, thumbs, knuckles and a rounded wooden Thai foot massage stick are used to stimulates certain areas of the feet releasing blocked energy within the body’s many Sens lines (Thai-based meridians). This helps to balance and restore a healthy flow of energy throughout the body.
Pressure is applied on specific reflex points on the feet to stimulate the internal organs, encouraging the body and mind to balance as well as activating the body's natural healing mechanism. The circulation of blood will be improved and the immune system boosted. This treatment is a wonderful stress reliever promoting deep relaxation
Benefits of Thai Foot Massage
· You may be familiar with the Chinese concept of chi (pronounce chee) which, much like the yogic concept of prana, is described as life force energy.
· In Chinese medicine there are 10 major energy lines, or meridians, that run throughout the body and act as the pathway for the flow of chi; including the soles of the feet.
· Things like stress and environmental toxins can reduce, inhibit or completely block the natural flow of energy along meridian lines. Inhibited energy flow contributes to illness and dis-ease.
· In Thai Foot Massage these meridians are called Sen lines.
During a Thai Foot Massage, pressure points along the Sen lines are gently and methodically stimulated to enhance or restore the free flow of energy. In addition to leaving you feeling rejuvenated and relaxed, the stimulation of reflex points on the feet, which are associated with internal organs, enhances overall well-being.
