Ashiatsu is an intense, luxurious massage that allows massage therapists to apply deep consistent pressure all over the body with their feet, while using overhead bars for balance. Long circular strokes glide perfectly over the contours of the body while covering larger areas and maintaining intense and consistent pressure. By combining Swedish, Myofascial and compression massage techniques, Ashiatsu massage delivers a more effective application of deep tissue work that increases circulation, healing and relaxation. The pressure applied is deep, but also smooth and sumptuous, allowing for deeper relaxation.
Ashiatsu is perfect for therapist needing additional techniques for delivering high quality deep tissue massage work while minimizing damage to their bodies. Ashiatsu utilizes therapists feet as a means to apply deep pressure so there is minimal stress on hands. This allows therapist to give their hands a break and ensure longevity in their careers.
I recommend Ashiatsu for clients who are battling muscle fatigue, are in training, or experiencing high tension. Regular treatments will help improve posture, reduce tension, and relieve muscle soreness.
