What is Ashiatsu?

In the Japenese language “Ashi” translates to foot and “Atsu” into pressure. Ashiatsu is a barefoot massage technique in which the therapist delivers deep, broad, consistent pressure while utilizing their feet and body weight. Working with gravity instead of against it, Ashiatsu therapists are able to provide an effective therapeutic massage without causing pain or discomfort to themselves or the receiving client.

Benefits of Ashiatsu Massage

• Relieves pain

• Reduces stress

• Increases flexibility

• Improves posture

• Boosts circulation

• Enhances athletic performance

• Promotes restful sleep

This technique provides the same benefits as a deep tissue massage.  Ashiatsu, however, can deliver the deepest pressure a massage can offer, even though it by no means has to. I simply have more options to customize your treatment based on your needs. As long as it isn’t contraindicated I would love to introduce you to this amazing modality!

A Swedish massage is designed to relax the entire body by rubbing the muscles in long, gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. But the benefits of Swedish massage go beyond relaxation. It can help increase the level of oxygen in the blood and improve circulation and flexibility. 

Incorporating geriatric massage therapy can improve blood circulation, reduce arthritic pain, increase balance and flexibility. Consult your doctor first to make sure there are no risks in massage therapy based on your existing health conditions.
