Reflexology is the basis of Thai massage and many other Asian healing methods. When these energy lines become blocked, illness results. By stimulating reflex points on the feet, Thai massage works to stimulate these lines and promote better flow of energy throughout the body. This technique has been used to relieve stress and pain since ancient times and can boost your immune system. Regular massage sessions have even been known to help prevent colds and the flu.
It is a practice that has been around for centuries in Thailand. It is similar to Reflexology in that it uses stretching techniques to open ‘Sen’ energy lines. It also involves rubbing the hands and lower legs with traditional Thai massage sticks. The goal of Thai foot massage is to improve circulation and stimulate the immune system, while improving the appearance of your feet and promoting a sense of well-being.
The practice of Thai foot massage is ancient and is said to benefit the body’s internal organs. It is performed using light stretches and massages of the feet, hands, and lower legs. Specific pressure points are used to map out the organs and the entire body. It can help your body get back into balance and prevent illness. In fact, some studies have found that Thai foot massage may boost your immune system.
