Ashiatsu aka Barefoot Floor Massage
(a deep, deep tissue massage)
Ashiatsu is based on an ancient ayurvedic practice of Chavutti Thirummal. It combines Swedish, Myofascial, and compression techniques that are applied to the body with the therapist's feet gliding effortlessly over the contours of the client's body. The pressure can be as light as a swedish massage or the deepest massage a therapist can give.
Ashiatsu treatments are a more effective application of deep tissue massage. Not only can the therapist apply a deeper treatment, but clients are able to tolerate deeper pressure because the feet provide pressure over a broader surface.
The pressure is constant and evenly maintained. It creates more circulation. More circulation brings about faster healing. Ashiatsu brings about a relaxed state that last for hours after a massage service.
