Hi again
My apologies for the delay in replying back. I found this form of massage the best ever as I felt so good after it and I could find the benefits from it for quite a while. Everyone is different I know, but maybe what suits me mightn't suit you! Everyone has there own favourite treat and lomi lomi massage is the top of my list. And no Funnybunny it didn't involve flowers or pineapples - lol.
Fozzyo, I am from Northern Ireland and my local therapist here has just trained for it.
Here is a little info on the massage:
The art of Lomi lomi is a massage therapy that has been practiced by the Hawaiians for many centuries. Much more than simply a physical technique, Lomi lomi involves a holistic approach to the person and seeks to heal and promote wellness in body, mind and spirit.
The massage is given in fluid, rhythmic motion using the forearms as well as the hands. It works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, totally nurturing the body and, enabling the recipient to relax, give in and simply be.
When harmony is lacking the effect is pain physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Illness is a state of tension, which leads to resistance which blocks energy movement. Lomi Lomi helps release this and therefore facilitates the road to healing. On the physical level, through Lomi Lomi stress and tension are relieved, blood and lymph flow assisted and the elimination of wastes and toxins stimulated.
