Thai Foot Massage
Thai Foot Massage is a massage of the lower legs and feet that involves hands
on stretching and massage to “open” Sen (energy) Lines, along with
the use of a stick to stimulate the reflex points on the feet which correspond
to the internal organs of the body. Thai Foot Massage stimulates these points
to promote general health and well-being.
A Treatment in Thai Foot Massage will usually last for one hour and the therapist
may spend the last 10 minutes massaging the hands and sometimes the shoulders
too.
Thailand has evolved as a centre for massage, partly due to geographical location
and partly to the peoples’ predisposition towards massage, with traditional
techniques from India and China diverging in Thailand to give us Traditional Thai
Massage and Thai Foot Massage.
Thai Foot Massage takes it’s origins from China where the art has been practiced
for over 5000 years, and Thai Foot Massage, as seen everywhere in Thailand today,
has developed from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean foot masseuses.
Traditional Thai Massage and Thai Foot Massage compliment each other beautifully.
Thai Massage balances the elements of the mind and body, while Thai Foot Massage
stimulates the internal organs, giving the receiver an holistic treatment.
