Thai Foot
Massage
What is Thai Foot Massage?
 Thai
Foot Massage is a massage of the feet and also lower legs. Thai foot massage is
both invigorating and deeply relaxing and involves
hands on massage, stretching and acupressure to
stimulate reflex points. It has elements of Shiatsu, Reflexology, and Chinese massage, incorporated into the
treatment. Traditional Thai Foot Massage, as offered
by Sarah, includes the use of a traditional Thai
foot massage stick as well as using
the palms, fingers, thumbs and knuckles to work the
feet.
 This
wonderfully enjoyable foot massage dates back more
than two thousand years, originating in China, and
is seen all over Thailand today. Treatment includes working on 'Sen'
lines, which are from the Ayurvedic tradition and
are the equivalent to the meridians of Traditional
Chinese Medicine. The techniques of Thai Foot
Massage are thought to stimulate and open these
energy channels, leaving you feeling relaxed,
balanced and invigorated.
Thai Foot Massage is great for
tired feet, improving circulation and lymph movement
in the feet and lower legs, and improving
flexibility. If you have tried reflexology, you will
also
enjoy this fabulous treatment, but will be surprised
at how different the techniques feel! Certainly,
like reflexology, you will leave the session feeling
relaxed, yet energized and invigorated!

Who
can benefit?
Thai Foot Massage
is suitable for men, women and children
of all ages. It may be suitable for pregnant women
who are past the first trimester, and without
medical complications. There are some medical conditions where
it may not be possible to carry out treatment, which
is why a full consultation is carried out before
commencing. This also allows the treatment to be
tailored to your own needs. If you have any serious
medical conditions or take medication, it is
advisable to check with your doctor before making an
appointment.
