THAI FOOT MASSAGE one day accredited training course BOSTON

THAI FOOT MASSAGE. According to the principles of reflexology, different parts of the foot correspond in actions with different parts of the body. A toe massage can assuage sinus pain, while applying pressure on the arch soothes a tummy ache.Foot massage leans more toward using rubbing and manipulation versus applying direct pressure on specific points Traditional Thai Foot Massage with a wooden stick is an authentic massage technique that will leave the client feeling very relaxed & energized. We work on pressure points on the feet and lower legs by using thumbs and a traditional Thai wooden stick for an invigorating and relaxing massage for the lower legs. Also covered is a relaxation massage to the hands and lower arms.
