Answer:

Lomi Lomi is a Hawaiian system of massage which utilizes very large, broad movements. Two-handed forearm and elbow application of strokes, which cover a broad area, is characteristic of Lomi Lomi.

Lomi Lomi is Hawaiian for rub-rub. Oils are used in the application of cross-fibre friction techniques. The practitioner often uses the forearm and the elbow in the application of pressure.

Similar to Swedish massage in many aspects, this system uses prayer and the acknowledgment of the existence of a higher power as an integral part of the technique.
