Lomi Lomi means massage in Hawaiian

​

It means "to break up in small pieces with the fingers".

​

The lomi lomi massage technique is done with long flowing strokes upon the muscles of the body, with hands, forearms and elbows.

​

The use of lomi lomi goes hand in hand with spirituality and balancing the mind, body and soul together.



​Sometimes hot stones are applied before the actual lomi lomi massage begins to promote blood circulation.

 

An added benefit to this massage is that no side effects have been reported and there are no precautions to take.
