The Bodhi Tree Offers Ancient Thai Foot Massage

Reflexology, or Thai foot massage is the application of pressure onto particular areas of the soles of the feet and is offered by The Bodhi Tree therapeutic clinic as part of their personal, friendly and courteous services.  Foot reflexology massage uses hands, fingers, thumbs, knuckles, and a rounded wooden stick with lotion or oil, and as practiced in Thailand, is an ancient therapeutic procedure that has become very popular today.  Originally the knowledge and techniques were closely held secrets kept alive and passed down through generations by the Buddhist monks of the Thai Royal Palace. However today, as demonstrated by the fully trained traditional Thai masseuses at The Bodhi Tree, this 2000 year old, highly reputed session frees up blocked energy within the body's many sens lines (Thai-based meridians) to produce a deep and unique feeling of balance, relaxation and well-being.

Ancient Thai foot massage (Nuad Pan Boran) is a holistic healing technique that provides relaxation, balance in the body's various systems, and healthy blood circulation. It is known as a therapy to foster general good health and mental serenity. Crystals of calcium and uric acid (toxic wastes) that have built up are dispersed. Proponents of reflexology as practiced at The Bodhi Tree report relief from stress, back and other chronic pain, allergies, high blood pressure, sleep disorder, fibromyalgia, gout, migraine, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, and digestive problems. Reflexology helps the body regain and maintain its general good health and natural balance. Enhanced flow of blood and nutrients tend to maintain or improve the healthy condition of the body parts, and many ailments are cured or reduced. The immune system is boosted, healing is accelerated, the body is refreshed, and the mind is cleared of stress.

The Bodhi Tree Thai Foot Massage is a treatment of the lower legs and feet that involves physically stretching and massaging to open Sen (energy).  There are 10 major energy lines that run throughout the body from the top of the head down to the soles of the feet, where they end as pressure points.  It is these that provide a map of the whole body and the organs.  By stimulating these The Bodhi Tree masseuses are able to encourage the mind and body to restore its own natural healthy balance therefore keeping the whole body harmonized.

The Bodhi Tree is owned and run by “Ping” who has a large loyal following of lovers of Traditional Thai Massage and her clientele choose her perfectly-honed treatments to unwind from the stress of a modern day lifestyle, finding it a truly positive experience, beneficial for both their mind and body.
