Known as “Loving Hands” massage, Lomi Lomi is an ancient healing technique that combines physical and spiritual elements to create a unique and transformative experience.

With its emphasis on long-flowing strokes to alleviate “blockages” in the body, Lomi Lomi is not some pseudoscience; it provides real, long-lasting relief for pain and emotional well-being.

This guide will explore the history and art of the ever-popular Lomi Lomi massage and provide insight into how to practice and become certified in Lomi Lomi.

What is a Lomi Lomi Massage?

In Hawaiian, ‘Lomi Lomi’ translates to ‘rub rub’ – and this is exactly what a Lomi Lomi massage involves. Using long, deep strokes, the massage therapist will use their hands and forearms to relax your muscles and promote blood circulation throughout your body.

Benefits of Lomi Lomi Massage

A Lomi Lomi massage promotes lymphatic drainage, which helps to cleanse toxins from the body. Improved lymphatic drainage is associated with healthy, glowing skin, reduced swelling, and can even break down the stubborn fat cells that contribute to cellulite and skin dimpling.

Improved circulation

The long strokes of Lomi Lomi massage help to improve blood flow and promote healing throughout the body. Improved circulation can help to improve your fitness performance, enjoy quicker injury recovery, and can even assist with chronic fatigue.

Muscle tension relief

The deep strokes of a Lomi Lomi massage help to relieve muscle tension, which is great for those who exercise strenuously or often suffer with muscle tightness in the legs or lower body. Lomi Lomi massage techniques help to loosen up the muscles, and can even help to reduce muscle spasms – this is achieved by directing tension away from the muscles using the traditional long strokes.

Stress relief

As with all forms of massage therapy, a Lomi Lomi massage will help to relax both your mind and body, leaving you feeling calmer and more energized following your treatment. A Lomi Lomi massage can also help to reduce your blood pressure and slow your heart rate, so it’s ideal for those suffering from chronic stress or anxiety.
