Thai Foot Massage
Did you know you have over 7,000 nerve endings in your feet and this is what makes having your feet massage such a blissful experience. Thai foot massage aims to stimulate and balance the activity of the internal organs, and promote the circulation of blood and lymph, which in turn helps to encourage the natural elimination (or ‘detoxifying’) processes in the body
According to the theory of the practices of acupuncture and acupressure, there are an outstanding 7,200 sensory nerve endings in each foot which are connected to the internal organs that spread throughout the body. A Thai foot massage applies pressure to particular areas of the soles of the feet.
What is Thai Foot massage?
Thai foot massage is a deep and profound massage treatment working on the feet and lower legs, evolved from a combination of Chinese massage and Thai massage techniques. Hands, fingers, thumbs, knuckles and a rounded wooden Thai foot massage stick are used to stimulates certain areas of the feet releasing blocked energy within the body’s many Sens lines (Thai-based meridians). This helps to balance and restore a healthy flow of energy throughout the body as well as dispersing a build up of crystals of calcium and uric acid (toxic wastes)……and herein lies the connection with reflexology.
The principle is based on the link between the feet and the internal organs, and that most of the sensory nerves which innervate internal organs are connected to the soles of the feet, so by working on the feet the activity of the internal organs is thought to be affected, similarly to Reflexology - in fact Thai Foot Massage is sometimes called ‘Thai Foot Reflexology’!
How can Thai foot massage help? Thai foot massage aims to stimulate and balance the activity of the internal organs, and promote the circulation of blood and lymph, which in turn helps to encourage the natural elimination (or ‘detoxifying’) processes in the body. The treatment mobilises all parts of the feet, working the lower legs up to the knee. The feet and lower legs are left feeling refreshed and invigorated due to the improved circulation.
