ASHIATSU

Ashi= Foot  Atsu= Pressure

Ashiatsu is a gravity based modality that allows the therapist to provide a deep  compressive massage with their feet.  The therapist is able to  administer 3x the pressure than they could normally with just their hands.

With that being said,

Ashiatsu is NOT suitable for everyone

Due to the compressive nature of Ashiatsu massage, therapists must take extra precaution with certain client conditions. A thorough intake will be completed before the service. If, however, you are unable to receive an Ashiatsu service, we can easily schedule you a Swedish, Therapeutic or Deep Tissue massage.

Below is a list of the BENEFITS but also a few CONTRAINDICATIONS. 

When in doubt, we may have to get a doctors note

 

 

BENEFITS OF ASHIATSU DEEPFEET BAR THERAPY.... 

 Deep Tissue Without Discomfort

 

If you’re in need of deep tissue work, but don’t enjoy the discomfort that comes with

pointy elbows and thumbs, then Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy® is the treatment for

you! Gravity enables Ashiatsu therapists to deliver up to 3x deeper pressure than with

traditional hands-on treatments. Utilizing bodyweight and the foot as a massage tool

provides broad, consistent pressure that creates structural change throughout the

body. As a result clients will enjoy the same extra range of movement and decrease in

chronic tension relief without having to endure painful strokes.

 

Frees Up Bundled Nerves

Movements along the para spinals and the lumbar region can relieve muscle spasms

and open the intervertebral foramen (where spinal nerves pass through). It will give the

nerves more space as well as increase circulation by bringing more freshly oxygenated

blood to the area being treated.

 

Elongates Muscles and Detoxifies

Many Ashiatsu strokes help to elongate the spine. These movements dramatically

stretch shortened muscles, which help in relieving pain and discomfort. These long

fluid strokes also help flush the body’s lymphatic system, which releases metabolic

waste at a very high rate. We recommend drinking plenty of water before and after a

treatment to help with the detoxification process.

 

Improves Posture and Decreases Pain

After only a few treatments, Ashiatsu barefoot massage has been known to improve

posture and range of motion. It will significantly reduce or eliminate chronic muscle

pain, and improve bodily functions, which will create a higher sense of balance and

wellbeing within the body. Typically, one treatment a week for upwards of six weeks

will produce these kinds of results.
