Question:
Chavutti thirmal - massaging with feet and body weight, taking some weight off person by holding onto a red rope suspended from the ceiling. (type-thing)
Does anyone here practice it or have enrolled on the training course?
toying with the idea of doing the course, it is five days and quite expensive, and you wouldn't be able to do the treatment as a mobile therapist, but think it's going to be the next big thing.
Am thinking of organsing the course in Durham in possibly September/October if anyone is interested, can't go down to London to do it as can't get childcare for that length of time.
just reviving the thread to see if anyone knows about it, received a treatment or interested in studying it.
Its featured on the Twinings tea advert with Stephen Fry where he's at a spa and shows a little man leaping manically on someones back........caught my eye!
do you think its too advanced, too weird for the UK?
comments appreciated.
Hi Daisychain[/align][/align]I quite fancied doing this one myself as it looks quite good, not sure if they teach it the same in the UK as where it comes from, traditionally the recipient is nude and once the body has been lubricated the practitioner sweeps the complete length of the body with their feet, you only use one foot at a time :-)the rope is to help the practitioner maintain their balance during the full bodysweep, the treatment is finished by hand.[/align][/align]One of the good things about it is you don't use a table, it is all done on the floor.[/align]
Hi Paul,
yes thats the one, although I can't imagine it can be done as a mobile treatment as you need to hang your red rope from somewhere. If I get any more info I'll let you know.
Hi Daisy
I've received 'chavutti thirumal' from two therapists in London and would thoroughly recommend it. It is a very firm treatment which can really help ease muscular soreness. There are details of therapists on and .

Fijian massage uses the feet as well, but the therapist sits in a chair and the client remains fully clothed. Seems a bit more practical then Chavutti Thirmal
