Originated in ancient Hawaii, Lomi Lomi massage is an integrative massage therapy that aims to treat the body and mind as one whole being. This massage helps the recipient become deeply relaxed and give in the nurturing touch of fluid rhythmic strokes that resemble cascading waves moving over the body.
The name “lomi lomi” translates to “rub rub” which reflects in the broad, long continuous flowing strokes made by the therapist with fingers, thumbs, arms, and elbows. As the therapist uses the forearm and hand gently but deeply into the muscles, this massage helps release tension that builds up over time in the body.
