What is a lomi lomi massage?
Lomi lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage. Its signature is long, continuous, flowing strokes — therapists often use their forearms as well as their hands in sweeping, rhythmic, wave-like movements that cover large areas of the body in one pass. It's sometimes called 'loving hands' massage, and it's known for being deeply relaxing and almost meditative. It's a whole-body relaxation treatment rather than targeted therapeutic work.
How is it different from other massages?
Where a Swedish or deep tissue massage uses shorter, more defined strokes on specific muscles, lomi lomi flows continuously across the body in long, sweeping movements, often with the forearms. The rhythm is constant and dance-like, which many people find unusually relaxing and immersive. It's chosen for the experience and deep relaxation rather than to work a specific problem area.
What should I expect during the treatment?
Expect flowing, full-body strokes with oil, in a continuous rhythm. As with other oil massages you undress to your comfort level and are covered with a towel, though lomi lomi sometimes uses more sweeping strokes that move over larger areas. Tell your therapist your pressure preference — it's usually gentle to medium and relaxation-focused.
