Ashiatsu Massage

In the Japanese tradition, Ashiatsu contains two roots: “ashi,” meaning foot, and “atsu,” meaning pressure. Combining these terms, Ashiatsu massage techniques combine barefoot massage with deep, broad and consistent pressure which uses the therapist’s feet and weight to work with gravity, not against it. This allows our Ashiatsu therapists to provide an effective therapeutic massage without causing pain or discomfort to the patient. We combine our Ashiatsu treatment with cream or oil to make this deep therapeutic massage very fluid and seamless. The parallel bars above the massage table allow the therapist to maintain their balance, for support and your safety.

Because Ashiatsu uses up to three times the compressive power compared to traditional hands-on massage, our Ashiatsu therapists take extra precaution with our patients. When you request an Ashiatsu treatment, our therapist will screen you for conditions that would contraindicate an Ashiatsu treatment. The following is a short list of patient conditions that may preclude receiving an Ashiatsu treatment:

Without Discomfort

Your Ashiatsu therapist will use gravity and his or her body weight to deliver up to three times deeper pressure.

Relieve Nerves

Ashiatsu treatment allows more space for the nerves and increases circulation and healing.

Muscles are rejuvenated

Ashiatsu treatment engage the facia throughout the body helping to release muscle spasms and ease muscle pain.
