Kake Ki Runga Cook Island Aitutaki Bodywork

Using a floot mat, client remains fully clothed. Applying gentle, alternate pulsing with my knees & feet, extremely invigorating & stimulating. Popular approach for bringing flexibility & alignment to the body. Breaks down adhesions/tension thus releasing associated muscles together with deep breathing exercises. The Lomi Lomi  practitioner balances on his clients' backs, using different foot strokes to apply pressure on strategic points along the muscles, supporting himself by holding a wooden pole. His feet create a "push, pull, pumping" effect on the intervertebral disc space. He is basically elongating the spine. 
Lomi Lomi is an ancient form of bodywork using the feet to bring about a structural change to chronic soft tissue damage, while providing complete relaxation to the client. The practitioner applies deep, soothing strokes to all muscles of the back, using hand and foot pressure to "milk" the muscles, open chakras (energy patterns throughout the body), release toxins and stimulate the body's own self-healing capabilities. Clients experience improved posture, movement and bodily functions, pain relief, and a state of well-being.
Clients with lower back problems all have felt a looser, more open feeling in their backs, and now prefer his feet to the use of hands.
