Brought back
from Kadavu, Fiji by founder Lolita Knight these
incredible techniques have been refined to offer a
versatile, luxurious, deep tissue massage.
Therapeutic and relaxing, Fijian Massage is performed on
comfortable heated body cushions with the therapist's
feet. Using gravity, body weight, and leverage the
therapist can deliver maximum pressure without the sharp
pain of an elbow and with minimal effort. This is by far, the deepest massage
available.
Traditionally this massage is given through clothing.
However, new techniques offer the option of skin on skin
with oil.
Ever ask your kids to walk on
your back? While we will never ‘walk’ on your
back the idea is the same. Two footed
techniques are used only when sitting down.
Can I
feel anything with my feet? Yes! There are 4,700
nerve endings in the bottom of your foot. This
means I can feel knots, adhesions, and tight
spots for serious relief. Done through clothing
or on bare skin with oil, this versatile massage will make
you melt.
No special
equipment needed!
