During Thai foot massage pressure is applied to specific areas of the soles of the feet. In turn, a reflex reaction occurs in another part of the body, which is stimulated by the manipulation of a specific part of the foot. Thai foot reflexology is said to be a combination between reflexology, Chinese Tuina, Japanese Shiatsu, and Indian Ayurvedic Yoga. It works on the feet, lower legs, and knees, freeing up blocked energy in the body’s Thai-based meridians to create a feeling of deep relaxation, balance, and well-being.
