Ashiatsu is over 3,000 years old and its history spans many cultures and countries from Japan to the Philippines and India to Hawaii. Seem like people have long known that being walked on feels great! Here in the United States, it is still a relatively new style of massage that not many people have experienced. Most people think of barefoot massage as a deep tissue technique and while it is absolutely amazing for deep work, it can also be used for Swedish style relaxation. Ashiatsu allows a practitioner to use their body weight more effectively and creates higher muscle compression due to the surface area of the feet allowing for a deep yet relaxing experience.
Ashiatsu is known to improve posture, relieve pain and stress and help with spinal problems. It stretches the spine more effectively than traditional massage, allowing the spine to elongate. Opening the space between the spinal discs is a tension reliever and stretches the long muscles of the back relieving discomfort from spinal compression and shortened muscles. Anyone who sits for long periods of time sees incredible results from Ashiatsu because the long, consistent compression releases knots and chronic holding patterns which encourages your body’s natural healing response to activate. Whether you drive a desk or run marathons, this modality can be incredible for receiving deep tissue work with greater results in a shorter amount of time and with less pain.
