Service Description

Long, rhythmic and sweeping strokes are administered with the hands and forearms and generous amounts of oil. Full body and under-body strokes help make the body soft, and promote an abundance of free flowing life energy. Strokes may also be quick and invigorating, depending on the client’s preference—the key is that the therapist and client are working in tandem. Gentle muscle stretches and rotations of joints can be incorporated to assist with the release of tension, and depending on the client’s level of comfort or resistance, the pressure slowly increases into a deep muscle massage. Different pressures and strokes can also be used in combination with heat to assist clients with any injuries. Different parts of the body can also be massaged at the same time. For example, a therapist’s hand or forearm may work on a shoulder and the other hand or forearm on the opposite hip. By administering range-of-motion work and not working on areas in isolation, a deep sense of harmony and balance can be achieved. Creating movement in the spine is a primary focus of lomi lomi massage. Some clients may even experience an unwinding similar to that occurring in myofascial release. Massage of the abdomen is always emphasised in traditional teachings because, in Hawaiin tradition, the colon is considered part of a person’s heart or soul. This helps the elimination process and improves the function of the organs. Hawaiian lomi lomi full body massage includes many techniques, some of which are similar to those used in Swedish massage, while others are similar to Asian bodywork techniques. Like other massages, lomi lomi massage is generally performed using oils and on a massage table. However, the main difference lies in the Hawaiian traditions woven into the massage. These include the belief that ‘loving hands’ help not only physical tension but also emotional, mental and spiritual blockages.Lomi lomi massage has many health benefits and can alleviate or cure a wide range of injuries and conditions, as well as the discomforts associated with general health imbalance. The free-flowing strokes that typify lomi lomi massage have many of the same benefits as other types of massage, including traditional Swedish massage. These include: Improved circulation Improved immune response Increased range of motion and flexibility The release of blocked energy Muscle relaxation Improved posture Faster healing Slowing heart rate Lower blood pressure
