Coming from India, influenced by Buddhism, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and based on a holistic and energetic vision of health, the Thai Foot massage in Honolulu HI is inspired by various techniques including yoga and meditation. The Thai massage is part of the great family of massage therapy. However, three main features characterize it. First, stretching exercises are both dynamic and fluid. They are made in correlation with the continuous reciprocation of the massage. These exercises are usually based on yoga postures, but no prior knowledge of this discipline is required.
Secondly, the therapist will begin some “energy” work. This consists of exercising maneuvers, massages and pressures on specific regions or points crossing the energetic lines of the body. These lines are similar to acupuncture meridians. The therapist presses, with his palms and thumbs, the energy lines with his or her fingers. They can also use their arms, forearms, elbows and feet. Third, a Foot massage in Honolulu HI is all about the way the therapist approaches each massage. This would allow them to be intuitively in touch with their client.

According to practitioners, manipulation, stretching exercises and a focus on breathing will promote blood and lymphatic circulation, thus, eliminating toxins. Massage therapy also helps to release muscular tensions and energy blockages, and restores the body’s flexibility and mobility. The relaxing effect of a Thai foot massage soothes the mind and induces a state of general, physical as well as spiritual well-being.
Receiving a Thai massage is like participating in yoga. Yoga postures are at the center of any massage therapy practice, but the movements are controlled by the therapist. For example, to achieve the posture of the cobra, the person simply lies on their stomach. The practitioner places a cushion on the person’s back, sits down and grabs the top of their shoulders, pulling them backwards while directing their breathing. The benefits of this posture are multiple: it opens the rib cage, improves the flexibility of the column and relieves lower back pain. For more information on foot massages in Hawaii, click here.
