Lomilomi — Hawaiian Massage in Orlando

Long, continuous forearm strokes that cross the whole body rather than treating it in sections — and it is the session people describe as unlike anything else they have had.

Lomilomi is Hawaiian bodywork, and the thing that makes it distinctive is continuity. The therapist's forearms move in long, uninterrupted strokes that travel across joints and between regions, so the body is never worked as a set of separate parts.

It is also the modality that is most often taught badly — a few long strokes added to a Swedish massage and relabelled. Lauren holds an advanced Lomi Lomi certification, which is worth checking for anywhere you book it.

How it runs

The session, step by step

1

Settle the breath first

Lomilomi is rhythmic work, and the rhythm is set to your breathing rather than to a playlist.

3

Work under and around

Hands work beneath the body as well as on top, which is why the table set-up differs from a standard massage.

2

Long strokes, not segments

Forearm passes travel from shoulder to hip in one movement. That continuity is the modality.

4

Finish slowly

The close is as deliberate as the opening. Sitting up too quickly wastes the last twenty minutes of it.

Continuity and the use of the forearms. Swedish massage treats regions in sequence; Lomilomi moves across the whole body in long uninterrupted strokes, including under the body.
