Like traditional Thai massage, Thai foot massage is very popular in Thailand. And certainly, after a long day of standing or walking, a session is not only enjoyable and good for the feet, but actually benefits the entire body. Foot massage incorporates the concept of reflexology, which means that applying pressure to certain therapeutic points (acupuncture or acupressure points) on the soles, sides, or tops of the feet benefits the entire body, particularly the internal organs.
The therapist can use their thumbs, other fingers, knuckles, elbows, forearms, and certain tools (often wooden sticks) to work on the feet.
The benefits of Thai foot massage include improved circulation, enhanced lymphatic drainage, a boost to the immune system, improved mobility and freedom of movement, reduced stress and anxiety, better sleep quality, improved mood and concentration, and a sense of overall well-being and calm.
