This deep tissue massage uses techniques passed down from generation to generation among the Lotud Dusuns, a group from the Tuaran District just north of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. In this rice-growing region, the women learned from generation to generation how to massage away the aches and pains left after a day of back-breaking work in the paddy field. Their distinctive massage technique involves applying pressure with the thumbs to the various pressure points in the body, especially on the neck, shoulder and back, magically unlocking the flow of energy, releasing tension and relaxing the muscles. Recommended massage to relieve tension and tiredness brought on by the bad posture associated with working on computers.
