What is Chavutti Thirumal Massage?

Chavutti Thirumal Indian Rope Massage has a history spanning thousands of years and is literally translated as 'massage by foot pressure.' It is a deep tissue treatment which combines long sweeping strokes from hand to foot to 'iron' out your body and smaller, more precise movements to focus on specific muscles and connects to the client's breath. The massage itself looks like a dance, with fluid and rhythmical strokes performed on the client's body with one foot, whilst balancing on the other with the aid of a rope. A combination of the therapist's compassionate intention and the rhythmic quality of the massage are powerfully healing.
