Chavutti Massage
CHAVUTTI THIRUMAL or Foot massage, is an Ayurvedic therapy that dates back thousands of years. In this treatment the client lies on a massage futon on the floor. The therapist treats the body with powerful, long, harmoniously flowing movements using the whole of the foot. During the process, the therapist stands on one leg and holds onto a rope for balance and momentum. The free foot is then used to massage the body from the hands to the toes.
By controlled use of their body weight the therapist can access deep muscle layers as well as the internal organs. This boosts blood flow, promotes the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and invigorates the internal organs. It stimulates detoxification and purification process. Stiffness and tension in the locomotor system are reduced and the body’s flexibility is restored.
The whole- body massage is extremely invigorating and restores vitality. Working deep to release, to let go, give time to heal and reflect.
This form of massage dates back 2000 years and originates from Kerala in Southern India.
