There are several reasons why Polynesians use seashells in massage.
- Providing your clients with a new and luxurious experience as the shells bring a natural element to the massage.
- Shell shapes mimic hands, fingers, thumbs and elbows and creative use of them will save year of wear and tear on the therapist’s joints.
- Shells are very versatile and can be used warmed or cool for pain relief of sore muscles.
- Shells are uplifting as all things in nature have energy about them and therefore lend themselves beautifully to energy work.
This treatment uses the therapists forearms in a dancing motion to apply the coconut oil to the body, a warmed relaxing seashell massage then follows using various types and sizes of natural seashells.
