Filipino massage

The uniqueness of Filipino massage lies in the combination of massage techniques, acupressure and stretching from the toes to the roots of the hair. Oil is applied to the entire body during the massage.

The Filipino massage is known for its unique healing art called Hilot, which incorporates the indigenous practices with spiritual aspects. The practitioners are called Manghihilot. These therapists can locate the imbalances in the body that cause the discomfort or pain. With this method, the therapist can locate the exact places to apply pressure with their fingers to release the tension.

In addition, Hilot therapy can also be used to calm the muscles, get rid of muscle pain and reduce mental tension. Some mothers take the Hilot therapy in the prenatal and postnatal period to improve their body well-being.

This Filipino massage technique is not as widespread in the country as traditional Thai massage, but its aspects bring many other stimulating effects to our bodies. Many of our regular clients at Eden’s Garden have confirmed that this massage is even better than Thai massage in some ways. As many clients are unable to fully relax during the traditional Thai massage because they are afraid of the aspects of Indian Yoga used in Thai massage, they are unable to fully enjoy it.

Our aim at Eden’s Garden is to introduce you to this method and show you its beneficial effects on the body. That is why you will find only ninety percent of our therapists from the Philippines in our salon.
