ASHIATSU

Ashiatsu: 

Ashiatsu massage makes use of the therapist’s bare feet to apply broad, deliciously deep pressure. The foot has a larger surface area than the hand which allows the therapist to provide deep smoothing of muscle and fascia, delivering a unique and comfortable deep tissue experience.

In an ashiatsu session, the therapist takes the first two or three minutes to apply massage cream to the client’s entire body and sanitize her own feet before stepping onto the table. Once the massage begins, the therapist uses bars and straps installed in the ceiling for balance and support while applying long, slow, gliding strokes with one foot at a time.

 The ideal ashiatsu client feels like they can’t get a massage that’s deep enough. They are athletes, tall, or larger-bodied individuals who prefer slow massage. Ashi can be strenuous for smaller clients. If you are smaller than 130 lbs, your practitioner will combine ashiatsu and hands-on massage for your comfort.

Similar to traditional deep tissue contraindications, Ashiatsu is unadvised for certain conditions. If you are unsure whether Ashiatsu is right for you, please consider speaking with your primary care physician before booking.
