Thai foot massage is a treatment for the lower legs and feet that originated in Thailand about 2000 years ago. It incorporates stretching, massage, thumb-walking and the use of a wooden stick to stimulate the reflex points. You lie on a massage table, fully clothed with access to the legs and feet. The session lasts for approximately 90 minutes. Thai foot reflexology restores balance to the body/mind through the reflexes of the feet and lower legs that are linked to the body’s energy meridians. The Thai meridians all begin at the navel and end at the extremities and may be used to treat organ systems through which they pass along their course. Thai foot reflexology is an enjoyable holistic treatment and reported benefits include improved circulation in legs, improved lymphatic drainage, reduced stiffness, improved flexibility, relief from stress and more. Don’t be surprised if you fall asleep halfway through the session as it can be that relaxing.
