Massage Therapy and The Pinoy Hilot

Massage Therapy is an ancient art of healing, stimulating the reflex or meridian points of our body that could enhance and improved the functions of the corresponding organs or system. There are many ways to do it, Acupressure  reflexology, shiatsu or deep tissue massage, Thai massage or lazy man's yoga or our very own Philippine Hilot. The beauty of Hilot is that it is a combination of all these things, applying acupressure  reflexology, deep tissue and some stretching and "pulso" pulse meridian diagnosis. It is very effective and an old ways of treating many diseases not only "pilay" (injury). Pinoy Hilot is a one stop shop of all these form of massages. It is very unique to the country also and should be promoted as one of the best wellness modalities and contribution in the field of well-being. I am a fan of Therapeutic massages specially the Pinoy hilot, wherever I go I try their massage services (Thailand, China)  and I wish I could do it regularly since I love pampering myself and in this time of stressful environment we deserved a good one. I am so happy that the Philippines is bringing back this lost healing arts that our old folks used to practice. -RCB
