What is a Thai foot massage?
A Thai massage is an invigorating, ancient therapy that combines foot reflexology with compression and acupressure. It is designed to promote energy balance and well-being physically and mentally, as well as to stimulate circulation in the feet.
It has been practised for centuries
Thai foot massage has been practised for centuries in Thailand and other Asian countries, where it is known as “Yoga Foot Massage” or “Yoga For The Feet” because of its many health benefits. This type of massage helps improve blood circulation throughout the body while draining toxins from muscles and joints—this can help improve flexibility, relieve tension in the back muscles, alleviate fatigue, reduce stiffness or pain due to arthritis etc. The great news is you can enjoy this massage at Sense Of Thai in Richmond and Port Melbourne.
The treatment typically started with a special “knee to toe” technique which involves the therapist using her hands and elbows to break down any hard areas in the calves and feet. Next, special wooden sticks are used to apply pressure to reflex points on the soles of the feet. This helps stimulate blood flow and remove toxins from your body through improved lymphatic drainage. You’ll also experience increased circulation and reduced stress levels as you relax on a massage table or sit in a chair for your treatment.
This is followed by a more intense massage using oils, which focuses on breaking down hard areas in the feet and working acupressure points, before finally ending with a gentle head and face massage.
Combining Modern and Ancient Techniques
Our combination of ancient pressure points and modern techniques makes for a unique experience.
Unless you’re a professional massage therapist, it can be difficult to understand exactly how Thai foot massage works. This massage incorporates ancient pressure points and modern techniques:
Ancient Pressure Points:
Pressure points are used to stimulate the body and promote better health. For example, pressing on an area of your back near your kidney can help relieve pain in other areas of your body, like the neck or shoulders.
Modern Techniques:
Our therapists will also use modern techniques such as stretching and compression to target specific areas of tension in order to improve the range of motion or relieve pain.
