The Lomi-Lomi is a Hawaiian massage with its origins beginning in Ancient Hawaii and Polynesia. It was used by Hawaiian shamans (also known as kahunas) as part of medicinal rituals. These rituals were aimed to heal, rejuvenate and restore people. 

The massage itself uses long flowing strokes reminding the waves movements and gentle motions on the body using warm coconut oil.

Multiples benefits:

​

- Release tensions

The Lomi-Lomi is a fantastic and effective way of relieving tension in the body. General overuse of muscles can eventually lead to tense, tight and painful muscles. This can restrict movement and make daily activities more painful than they should be. If your muscles are feeling tight, the long, gentle strokes of the Lomi Lomi can help remove the soreness.

This works by separating and loosening the muscle fibres. Muscles are stretched and manipulated, which releases tension and promotes more flexibility and movement. The kneading massage techniques  and continuous flowing strokes used in Lomi-Lomi are also great in removing deep-seated knots.

​

- Improve blood circulation

One of the biggest draws of massage therapy is its ability to improve the blood circulation in muscles. Good blood circulation is essential for a healthy, functioning body. Oxygen and essential nutrients are transported via bloodstreams, and it’s the circulation of your blood that makes sure your organs are receiving them.

Apart from ensuring that your body is functioning correctly, better blood flow will help sore muscles recover quicker. They receive important nutrients which contribute to the speed your muscles recover from exercise or overuse. It’s one of the main reasons athletes have massages so often.

​

- Remove toxins

The Lomi Lomi massage can help remove toxins and rejuvenate your immune system. It does this by stimulating your lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system is responsible for maintaining fluid levels in body tissue and produces antibodies which protect us from infection and disease. It also works to flush waste and toxins from your body as well.

Your lymphatic system is stimulated by gravity and movement. This is why massages, as well as other active activities such as exercise, are considered to be great for both your lymphatic and immune system.

​

- Reduce stress

Perhaps the most prominent benefit of the Lomi Lomi massage is its stress-reducing and relaxing capabilities. It’s why most people have this massage in the first place! With its focus and emphasis on calmness, tranquility and peace.

Stress can lead to more greater issues, for both physical and mental health. It can lead to muscle strains, bad posture and headaches, also mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

Having a Lomi-Lomi massage in a clinic with warm oil and soft music can wash your stress away and help you relax
