Thai Foot Massage / Reflexology

If you think a Thai Foot Massage is just an exotic foot rub, you will be very surprised after your first treatment! Yes, like a foot rub, Thai Foot Massage is relaxing and energizing, but goes far beyond relaxation. Thai Foot Massage (also known as Thai Foot Reflexology) is a form of acupressure that affects the entire body. Stress and toxins can reduce, inhibit or completely block the natural flow of energy along your meridian lines. Inhibited energy flow contributes to illness and disease. In Thai Foot Massage, meridians are called Sen lines. These Sen lines are connected to the body’s internal organs. Thai Foot Massage/Reflexology works on the belief that certain zones of the foot correspond to these organs. It focuses on the reflex areas in these zones to bring a range of health benefits. During a Thai Foot Massage, pressure points along the Sen lines are gently and methodically stimulated to enhance or restore the free flow of energy. Focusing on the lower legs and feet, a typical session includes gentle, rhythmic movements and stretching. There are 10 major energy lines running throughout our body. These create specific pressure points in the foot that can be effectively stimulated.

The entire body and all its internal organs can be mapped by skillfully manipulating these pressure points, especially in the soles of the feet. This is how Thai foot reflexology massage enhances the body’s natural healthy balance. In addition to leaving you feeling rejuvenated and relaxed, the stimulation of reflex points on the feet, which are associated with internal organs, enhances overall well-being.

Thai Foot Reflexology has been around since ancient times and is a therapeutic procedure that is still popular now. Historically, the original knowledge and techniques were carefully guarded Thai Royal Palace secrets kept by the Buddhist monks there. Thai foot reflexology is said to be a marriage between reflexology, Chinese Tuina, Japanese Shiatsu, and Indian Ayurvedi oga.
