Fijian Massage
( 7 Articles )
This deep, yet soothing, massage technique uses one foot that kneads all the muscles, relieving tension and pain. The therapist may sit or stand and the client may remain clothed while reclining on a floor mat. Fijian massage does not use oils or lotions. Fijian Massage does not include walking on the client's back as one foot remains standing on the floor. Fijian Massage is deeper and often more therapeutic than types of massage utilizing the hands.

One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. The disrobed client is covered by a sheet, with only the area being worked on exposed.

- Friction—consists of small, deep movements on a local area.
