If you’re looking for ultimate relaxation, the deepest , most luxurious massage on the planet, look no further! Ashiatsu is Oriental Bar Barefoot Massage… “Ashi” means “Foot”, and “Atsu” means “Massage”. The bare feet on the muscle tissue, with added and/or reduced pressure creates a push/pull effect on the tissue. This modality works especially well for athletes, and body builders, people who have a hard time finding someone who can really get deep into the tissue. The Therapist holds on to two long bars suspended from the ceiling, and uses her body weight to apply deep pressure to the body, to the muscles, NOT the spine, slowly sliding across the body creating the deepest, most detoxifying, relaxing experience, that will give you a “high” for about 2 hours after the session. This modality is only for very muscular or very large framed people.
Benefits of Ashiatsu
Other benefits of ashiatsu include: help with inflammation, neck, shoulder and back pain; relief of muscle soreness and tension including tight legs and forearms; improved posture and circulation; lymphatic system stimulation and enhanced overall well-being.
Clients of most body types and sizes can receive ashiatsu sessions given with one foot on the body, one foot on the table. For muscular clients weighing more than 180lbs, two feet can be placed on the body.

Asian Inspired Foot Massage
Inspired by Asian barefoot massage and deep tissue massage, this luxurious massage is deep yet gentle on the body’s tissues. This massage incorporates long, slow, Swedish effleurage strokes that push, pull, and knead all soft tissues encouraging deep releases felt throughout the body. The therapist uses her feet to provide both the flow and sustained pressure where needed while holding bars above the table for support. The post-euphoria leaves one feeling taller and ironed out with more body awareness and freed mobility as old holding patterns melt away.
