Created by Lolita Knight and based on a technique used on the Fijian Island of Kadavu, Fijian Barefoot Massage is performed mainly with the heel of the foot. This deep pressure is softer than an elbow, yet it is a stronger stroke, providing a deeper massage with less energy. Fijian Barefoot Massage is said to be effective for scar tissue and adhesion treatments and offers quicker pain relief for clients, saves therapists’ hands, neck, arms and shoulders while avoiding kyphotic strain, cervico-cranial hyperlordosis and repetitive strain injury to hands.
