Lomi lomi, meaning "massage" in the Hawaiian Language, is the word used today to describe Hawaiian bodywork, traditionally called lomi meaning "to rub, press, squeeze, ; to work in and out, as the claws of a contented cat".

 

Lomi Lomi is a holistic healing tradition beyond simple bodywork.

 

Traditionally lomilomi was practiced in four contexts: As a healing practice of native healers, As a luxury, an aid to digestion, especially by the ruling chiefs and as restorative body treatment within the family by masters of the Hawaiian martial arts.
