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!
