The treatment
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
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.
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.

Lomi Lomi is the relaxing massage of the Hawaiian tradition: in the Hawaiian language “lomi” means roughly “to massage, to knead”. At Crigan Massaggi in Turin it is done with coconut oil and helps you leave stress behind, relax your muscles and hydrate your skin.
For relaxing massages like Lomi Lomi there is no real limit on frequency: you can repeat it often, for example as a moment of relaxation after work. Massages aimed at pain, such as deep tissue or neck massage, are different: for these Crigan Massaggi recommends at least 3 days between sessions.
Both are relaxing massages with oil, but they come from different traditions. Lomi Lomi comes from Hawaii and is based on long, continuous strokes, also done with the forearms, that recall the movement of the waves; Californian massage was born in California and works mainly with the hands, with slow, enveloping movements. Crigan Massaggi's Hawaiian massage is done with coconut oil and, as well as relaxing body and mind, helps relax the muscles and hydrate the skin.
Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage is a relaxing massage that helps you switch off from everyday stress and find a sense of calm again. It is not a therapy and does not replace medical care: if anxiety or stress persists, talk to your doctor; massage can complement their advice.
