Ayurvedic Foot Pressure Massage (Chavutty Thirummal)
CHAVUTTY THIRUMMAL literally means chavutty: by foot, thirummal: massage. In using the foot the
masseur has his full body weight at his command, by holding a rope. The massage originated in Kerala
many years ago with the development of the martial art Kalari. It was used to remove pain and swelling
after a hit or sprain, to normalise muscles, ligaments and dislocated joints and also to expedite the
mending of broken bones. Subsequently it was adopted by Kathakali (dance form) students to relax
and rejuvenate their muscles. It tones and loosens rigid muscles and ligaments. This massage is usually
given over a ten day period to progressively relax and penetrate deeper levels, thereby completely
rejuvenating tissues and stretching and loosening rigid ligaments.
