THE LOWDOWN ON THE BAREFOOT MASSAGE
What is Ashiatsu? Ashiatsu is an Asian massage technique that provides up to three times more pressure than massages given with the hands. I always tell people it’s the smoothest and least painful deep-tissue massage they’ll ever get.
How does it work? After cream is applied to the body, the therapist uses their feet to massage the client using a protocol of strokes.
What health issues can Ashiatsu help me with? Chronic neck and back pain, scoliosis, bulging/herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.
Does it hurt? Not at all. This technique makes it easy for the therapist to take pressure off for clients who like lighter work. This is your massage and your time to relax, so don’t be afraid to tell your therapist what you want!
Is it for everyone? No, but I won't lie: Most people who receive it come back for more. This work tends to be for the person that prefers deeper pressure without pain, or for the client who has back or neck pain.
