What is Thai Foot Massage?
Thai Foot Massage uses hands, fingers, thumbs, knuckles, and a rounded wooden stick known as a stylus or dowel, combined with lotion, massage wax, powder or oil to massage the feet, ankles and lower legs. This non-invasive treatment is suitable for all ages.
Thai Foot Massage frees up blocked energy within the body's Sens lines (energy line) to produce a deep and unique feeling of balance, relaxation and well-being. There are around 7200 sensory nerve endings in each foot which relate to the internal organs of the body. This massage will cover all the reflexology points resulting in stimulating the functions of the internal organs encouraging balance and healing in the whole body.

Aftercare Advice
Massage is an aid to the body's natural mechanisms to release stress. To gain maximum benefit from your treatment, it is advisable that you follow this aftercare advice for the next 12 hours.
- Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins; massage aids the removal of toxins from the body.
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol or smoking; massage aims to aid the body’s natural detoxification process and these substances are counterproductive as they increase the levels of toxins in the body.
- Avoid eating heavy meals because blood is diverted to the gut to help with digestion. Digestion will divert energy away from the healing process. Eat light meals such as fruit and vegetables.
- Be aware of your posture.
- Rest as much as possible in order to assist the healing process.
- You may feel emotional, this is quite normal.
- You may experience a feeling of tiredness or fatigue following a Thai Foot Massage. In rare cases, headaches may follow. Increased urination is very likely after a Massage, make sure you stay well hydrated. In very rare cases flu-like symptoms (runny nose, coughing) may be experienced, but these will be temporary as the body re-balances itself. It will be replaced by a feeling of wellbeing!
