I am very excited to introduce a New Treatment to Creating Harmony Holistic Therapies: Thai Foot Massage.
This beautifully relaxing, in depth massage takes influence from both Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine and is a main component of Traditional Thai Medicine used today.
Using a combination of movements including kneading techniques, stretches and pressure points on the sole of the foot (the same points used in Reflexology – using a wooden acupressure tool), this massage leaves you feeling completely calm and walking on air.
What are the benefits of Thai Foot Massage?
Benefits of Thai Foot Massage include:
- Relieves aching and tired feet
- Improves circulation in feet and legs
- Aids and stimulates Lymphatic Drainage and therefore in turn the Lymphatic System. Subsequently boosting the Immune System and encourages the removal of toxins from the body
- Helps with Insomnia
- Reduces Stress Levels and Encourages Relaxation
What Products are Used in this Treatment?
The massage mediums used in this treatment are Vegan ‘Waxes’ formulated by Songbird, a company originally founded in New Zealand but now based locally in Glastonbury, Somerset. A similar consistency to their massage waxes, I also use these products within my reflexology treatments along with the Kaeso Pedicure system, which is Vegan and naturally derived.
There is a selection of Vegan waxes available to choose from, all of which contain essential oils and smell beautiful:
~ Tea Tree and Mint
~ Zest containing Mandarin and Key Lime
~ Lavender
~ Balance containing Bergamot, Lavender, Geranium and Frankincense
Why did I choose to Introduce this Treatment?
Originally, I attended the course as I wanted to integrate the use of the Thai Massage Sticks into my Reflexology treatments. However, once I attended and had the treatment myself (which was lovely!) I did fall in love with this treatment.
I suffer from Lymphoedema (swelling) in my legs and feet and I have to say the difference in my feet before to after this treatment was actually quite amazing. The massage uses a lot of movements that have a draining effect and there was a visible improvement in swelling afterwards.
The other reason I love this treatment is because it is SO RELAXING!! This has been the main feedback from my lovely clients so far. Many have fallen asleep and have felt that their feet have had a really in-depth treatment. They also sleep really well afterwards. Many who have regular Reflexology have now decided to have regular Thai Foot Massage treatments as well, which considering how in depth and versatile Reflexology is, it really shows how wonderful this treatment is.
