Taken from the Japanese words ash (foot) and atsu (pressure), Ashiatsu is a variation of the Shiatsu Massage technique where the therapist applies pressure tot he body using feet, rather than fingers and hands. This type of session may appear unconventional, as the practitioner may hold on to specially installed ceiling bars to maintain their balance while walking on a client’s back. However, it is quickly gaining notoriety as the most luxurious, deep-tissue massage available. Through this incredibly deep massage, the barefoot method is able to improve posture, relieve pain and stress, as well as treat spinal problems. Other benefits include reduced stress, relaxed muscles and improved circulation, and an improved immune system. Come in or call to find out more about our Ashiatsu massage services.
