Thai Foot Massage

Thai Foot Massage is a combination of the ancient healing arts of Reflexology, Shiatsu, Tuina, and Ayurvedic Yoga. Working with the feet, lower legs and knees, 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 that incorporates the use of a wooden device called a Thai Stick to work areas of the feet. It is usually performed with the recipient lying comfortably on a massage table. 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.
