thai foot massage
 A foot massage benefits the whole body. The foot has thousands of nerve endings which are stimulated during a massage. It is believed that areas on the foot correspond to areas of the body, and that reflexology assists the self-healing process.
Thai Foot Massage works the lower legs and feet with stretching and compression to “open” energy lines. A stick is used to stimulate the reflex points on the feet which correspond to the internal organs of the body thus resulting in general health and well-being. According to Chinese medicine, the sensory nerves of the internal organs that spread throughout the body are mainly gathered around the soles of the feet.
With origins in China, where it has been practiced for over 500 years, the foot massage of modern day Thailand has evolved from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean influences. Evidence shows that early African tribes, the American Indians and the early Egyptians also knew all about the benefits of foot massage and reflexology. Traditionally done in a reclining chair along any number of busy streets throughout Thailand, Zen Thai has created a treatment to use on the table.
