Get Ready for Ashiatsu

By Michelle Thomas

Discover the joy of Ashiatsu, a unique massage experience rooted in Japanese tradition, where ‘Ashi‘ (footmeets ‘Atsu‘ (pressure). Picture this: your therapist gracefully using their feet to deliver deep compression, gliding strokes, and assisted stretching, all while ensuring a fun and professional atmosphere. 

The benefits are not only delightful but also numerous. Feel the stress melt away as Ashiatsu reduces cortisol levels, bringing you unparalleled relaxation. Experience more restful nights by improving sleep quality and stand taller with enhanced posture from elongated muscles. As circulation improves, so does the delivery of oxygen to your muscles. 

But what sets Ashiatsu apart? It’s both stronger and less invasive, thanks to the natural force of gravity. Say goodbye to awkward positions and enjoy a massage that creates personal space for a unique therapist-client connection. 

Curious about what to expect during an Ashiatsu massage? Imagine yourself comfortably lying on the table, with the therapist using their feet for most of the session, occasionally applying oil and giving a scalp massage. Draping is done with care, ensuring your comfort throughout the experience. Communication is key; your therapist will check in to ensure the pressure is just right for you. From full-body connected strokes in prone position to diaper-style draping in the supine position, every moment is tailored to your comfort. 

Embark on a journey where Ashiatsu becomes not just a massage but a personalized, enjoyable experience, adapting to your unique preferences and needs.
