How does it work?
According to acupuncture and acupressure theory, there are 7,200 sensory nerve endings in each foot connected to the internal organs that spread throughout the body. In a Thai Foot Massage to stimulate these nerve endings the treatment is focused on the lower legs and feet that involves physical stretching, joint mobilisations, gentle rhythmic rocking, compression, acupressure and massage to open the Sen (energy) lines. According to ancient beliefs It is suggested that there are 10 major Sen lines that run throughout the body from the top of the head down to the soles of the feet, where they end as reflex points. It is these reflex points that provide a map of the whole body and organs.
What it involves
The therapist uses palms, fingers, thumbs, and knuckles with massage oil or lotion and a Thai massage stick to stimulate the reflex points. Stimulating these reflexes correctly can assist well-being in a safe and natural way to produce a deep and unique feeling of balance and relaxation therefore keeping the whole body harmonised.

Three visits to Nick in 3 weeks and to my amazement not only did I make the start line but I ran the 26 miles, non-stop in under 4 hours, without any problems with my calf muscle..
His knowledge of anatomy was incredible. ...The pain I experienced disappeared almost instantly after I left the treatment room and has been a lot better since... Thanks Nick!
