AshiAhhTsu Massage

Service Description

Our AshiAhhTsu experience is 90 minutes in duration. Ashiatsu or Barefoot Massage, goes extra deep — much deeper than a relaxation massage and even deeper than a deep tissue massage. Gravity and the therapist's body weight helps to penetrate below the superficial layers of tissue, and because the therapist's feet are used instead of fingers or elbows, it doesn't feel 'pokey'. ​ The main difference between this type of barefoot massage and others is that it is performed on a  large mat on the floor with the client supported by pillows, instead of on a massage table, which eliminates the need for overhead bars.. Using poles for balance, the therapist is able to provide the deepest massage possible, while also being deeply relaxing and non-painful. The client wears loose, comfortable clothing.​ During a session, the therapist may use the flat surface of the foot, as well as the ball, heel, or side of the foot. A typical AshiAhhTsu massage usually addresses all muscles of the body, but if a client prefers to focus on one particular muscle group, it's possible to customize the massage. ​​ If you're interested in trying out AshiAhhTsu massage, check with your doctor first. This type of massage is not for everyone, and not recommended for those who have had any augmentation done recently (such as breast implants), those who have had a recent injury or surgery, those with heart problems or heart devices (such as a pacemaker), those with nerve-related pain, or pregnant women.
