Lomilomi massage, traditionally called Lomi, is a form of Hawaiian massage. For years the Lomi Lomi massage was taught only within the Hawaiian family. Techniques varied by family, region and island. It seeks to combine prayer and energy to relax the nervous system, increase circulation, and relieve pain and illness. Practitioners of Lomilomi apply rhythmic pressure to areas of tension with the thumbs, palms, knuckles, forearms, elbows, knees and feet. Today it is a popular component of holistic health, and common throughout the world.

Expert massage therapist Kelley Welch offers tips and advice on the benefits of Lomilomi treatment, where to find a qualified practitioner and how to prepare for your session.
