A traditional Hawaiian massage combines the use of prayer (pule), breath (ha), and energy (mana) with a variety of massage strokes to release areas of congestion in the body. Lomilomi improves physical performance through the rhythmic application of thumbs, knuckles, forearms and elbows to specific areas of tension.
Lomilomi relaxes the nervous system, increases circulation and creates a sense of well being. It is useful for maintaining health, and relieving pain from injury and debilitating illness. It is the "dance of massage," and is as wonderful to give as to receive.
