This form of foot massage has been practised for thousands of years in Thailand and is thought to balance and harmonise the flow of energy of the entire body by working the sen lines of the feet and lower legs for ultimate relaxation. Although reflexes are stimulated this treatment focuses on massage techniques on the whole area unlike Reflexology which is solely thumb techniques on certain points of the foot.
Thai Foot Massage begins with a warm foot soak using Thai oils such as Lemongrass and Ginger, which help to detox and soothe aching feet. The client will then get to lay down and relax on a warm massage bed for their treatment. The treatment involves various massage techniques and stretches on the lower legs and feet using hands and a Thai foot stick to the clients desired pressure.
There are many benefits to having a Thai Foot Massage for both the mind and the body. This is an ideal treatment for those on their feet all day as it improves leg circulation and releases foot tension, but it can equally help those looking to relax and leave feeling refreshed with an overall sense of well-being.
