What is Thai Foot Massage?
Thai foot massage, also known as Thai reflexology, is a therapeutic practice that targets energy pathways in the body by stimulating the feet and lower legs. Rooted in ancient Chinese and Indian traditions, it combines acupressure, stretching, and reflexology techniques to promote energy flow, alleviate stress, and enhance overall well-being.
Thai Foot Massage techniques
Therapists use thumbs, fingers, knuckles, and tools like bamboo sticks to stimulate pressure points along Sen lines, energy pathways similar to Chinese meridians. Additional techniques include:
- Acupressure to release blockages in energy flow.
- Stretching and manipulation to relax muscles and improve flexibility.
- Massaging reflex points linked to internal organs to rejuvenate the body.
