Thai foot massage combines acupressure, energy balancing and stretching technique into a treatment that's been part of daily life in Thailand for over two thousand years. Working along the body's Sen lines and pressure points, you'll learn to use your hands, thumbs and a traditional wooden acupressure tool to deliver a genuinely therapeutic treatment, one that's kind to your own hands as much as it is effective for your client.
