Details of Lomi Lomi Massage
Hawaiian origins of Lomi Lomi
Lomi Lomi (or Lomilomi) massage is an integrative massage practice that began in ancient Hawaii and is gaining popularity around the world.
The word “lomi” means to knead or rub in a gentle manner. (That’s why you sometimes see dishes like lomi lomi salmon – fish that’s been rubbed with spices.)
Focusing on long, seamless strokes that glide from one part of the body to another, Lomi Lomi massage can soothe the mind while easing tension in the muscles. These rhythmic, repetitive movements allow the client to fully relax during the session.
But Lomi Lomi was once under the radar. In fact, it was once outlawed throughout the Hawaiian Islands.
