Thai Foot Massage

​

Thai Foot Massage is a combination of the ancient healing arts of Reflexology, Shiatsu, Tuina, and Ayurvedic Yoga. This 2000 year old, highly reputed treatment frees up blocked energy within the body’s many Sen Lines (Thai- based meridians) to produce a deep and unique feeling of balance, relaxation and well-being.

Thai Foot Massage is a gentle, yet firm treatment uses hands and forearms, and also incorporates the use of a wooden device called a Thai Stick to work areas of the feet, legs and knees. Working these areas increases blood and energy flow to the internal organs, glands and all parts of the body,  allowing the body to return to a state of homeostasis. 

This treatment is usually performed with the recipient lying comfortably on their back on a massage table, or if the recipient has a lazyboy type recliner chair in there home it can be done with them seated in that if they wish.
