Massage healing Francis Lim
Singaporean Francis Lim is Kocoon’s visiting practitioner during September, and he specialises in therapeutic massage. With over 20 years of experience, his clients include the Singaporean prime minister’s family and the Indonesian royal family who fly him in when they need treatments.
He specialises in the treatment of disabilities caused by injury, stroke and other physical ailments. From the age of seven, he learnt massage techniques from a family friend who was skilled in fi xing joint dislocations. When his father was paralysed by a stroke, a senior monk in Thailand massaged his father and enabled him to walk within a week.
From then on, Lim studied under the guidance of the monk and learnt the various approaches to massage that could be incorporated to treat a wide variety of ailments and conditions including frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, painful joints, migraines, insomnia and open wounds.
On Tuesday 1, at 7pm, Lim will be giving a free introductory talk and demonstrating his techniques. And from Wednesday 2 to Sunday 6 a session with him at Kocoon will cost 600RMB for 60 minutes.
