Thai foot massage (with reflexology points) is a combination of the ancient healing arts of Reflexology and Thai Foot Massage that aids relaxation and healing as well as stimulation of the body systems. It is ideal for active people as it can improve blood circulation but it is suitable for anybody.
This 2000-year-old therapy originates from Thailand, it has become very popular today and it is practised all over the world. Working on the feet and legs with specific techniques aims to free up blocked energy within the body many Sen lines (Thai based meridians) to induce a deep and unique feeling of relaxation, balance and well-being. These techniques are applied by the therapist, either with the hands, fingers, thumbs, knuckles or a rounded small wooden stick to stimulate specific areas. The pressure applied with the stick can be up to ten times more powerful than just using the thumbs or fingers.
There are 10 main major energy lines that run throughout the body from the top of the head to the soles of the feet where the main pressure points are found. Here on the feet we find a “map of the body” that represents all the organs and systems. By stimulating these through the massage techniques we encourage the mind and the body to restore its own natural rhythm therefore reaching homeostasis.
