The treatment

What is Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage for?

Lomi Lomi is the massage of the Hawaiian tradition: the name comes from the Hawaiian language, in which “lomi” means roughly “to massage, to knead”. It is a very relaxing, absorbing massage that takes you into a state of harmony and deep relaxation, far from the stress of everyday life.

As well as relaxing body and mind, Hawaiian massage works on the muscles, which relax and regain tone, and on the skin, which stays hydrated, fresh and supple thanks to the coconut oil.

At the Crigan Massaggi studio in Turin, Lomi Lomi lasts 60 minutes and is designed for people who really want to switch off: for an hour you can forget about work, traffic and everyday worries.

The technique

Why is coconut oil used in Hawaiian massage?

At the Crigan Massaggi studio, Hawaiian massage is done with coconut oil, 100% pure and organic like all the studio's products.

The oil lets the hands glide over the skin for the whole treatment and hydrates it at the same time: at the end of the session the skin feels more supple and soft.

Would you also like pressure and stretches?

If, as well as relaxation, you want a treatment with pressure, friction and light stretching, done with essential oils, Mihail Crigan also offers Thai Oil Massage.

The session

What happens during a Hawaiian massage session at Crigan Massaggi?

At your first Lomi Lomi session Mihail does not start from a sore spot: he starts from how you feel and how much stress you are carrying. The pace is slow, with coconut oil; it is not trigger point work. The session then follows four stages.

  1. 1

    Listening

    Mihail Crigan asks you how you feel, what tension you notice and what your habits are, and checks that there are no contraindications.

  2. 2

    60-minute massage

    Lomi Lomi lasts 60 minutes and is done with coconut oil, 100% pure and organic like all the studio's oils.

  3. 3

    Advice and exercises

    At the end of the session you get advice and stretching exercises to do at home.

  4. 4

    A specialist, if needed

    If a problem calls for a more thorough assessment, a consultation with a physiotherapist and a physiatrist is available, thanks to the collaboration with Dr Oriano Casamenti of STUDIO RONEFOR.

How often can you repeat it?

Lomi Lomi is a relaxing massage: unlike treatments aimed at pain, such as deep tissue massage, which need at least 3 days between sessions, it has no real limit on frequency. More answers in the frequently asked questions about massage.

Safety

When should you avoid Hawaiian massage?

Even a relaxing massage is not suitable for everyone: before starting, Mihail Crigan checks that there are no conditions that rule it out.

Hawaiian massage should be avoided:

  • if you have skin conditions;
  • if you have cardiovascular disease;
  • if you have cancer;
  • if you have other serious illnesses.

If in doubt, ask your doctor before booking and tell Mihail about any health problems or ongoing treatment.
