Traditional Thai Foot Massage
a completely holistic treatment for your mind, body and spirit.

This treatment is a wonderful stress reliever promoting deep relaxation.

​
This ultra-relaxing massage technique is suited for anyone feeling emotionally or physically drained, or just anyone who loves having their feet massaged.
​
History
Traditional Thai Foot Massage is a unique and ancient form of therapeutic healing.
​
Its roots are in India and it was introduced to Thailand over 2000 years ago by Ayurvedic doctors and Buddhist monks.
​
Whereas most Western massage practices focus on tissue manipulation and the working of the muscles and joints, Thai massage involves the manipulation of the pressure points and energy lines which together produce a highly therapeutic effect.
​
Pampering has a purpose in Thailand and that purpose is to promote good health.
How does it work?
Thai Foot Massage combines acupressure, energy balancing and stretching with applied yoga exercises.
​
Using the hands and a wooden acupressure tool, massage is applied to the lower legs and feet using rubbing, kneading, stretching and vibration techniques.
​
The practice is centred around the belief that the body has 72,000 energy lines, all of which run through the feet.
​
Pressure points are areas along the energy lines, or Sen Lines, that run throughout the body.
​
Working on these pressure points that correspond to the internal organs in the body, we’re trying to free blocked energy, promote overall health and wellbeing.
