Whether you want to relieve pain, tame tension, or increase flexibility, consider Ashiatsu, a Japanese pressure point massage. With this type of bodywork, the therapist applies pressure with their feet instead of their hands. This unique technique allows for broader, deeper compression, which can be particularly helpful for clients who need more intensive treatment.
Stella Mercer, a licensed massage therapist at Spine Body Collective says,
“The Ashiatsu therapist can apply more pressure and sustain it longer than they can with their hands.”
Why Choose Ashiatsu?
Ashiatsu offers several benefits over traditional deep tissue massage. The pressure applied with the feet is spread over a larger area, reducing the risk of soreness, bruising, or broken blood vessels. The broad compression also relaxes the central nervous system more quickly, promoting faster relief and relaxation.
Clients often report feeling more relaxed and less “jangled” than with other forms of massage. Another significant benefit is that Ashiatsu can increase blood flow and support lymphatic drainage, helping the body heal naturally and effectively.
A Unique Experience
Unlike traditional massages where hands are used, Ashiatsu provides a different sensation that many clients find particularly soothing. The pressure from the therapist’s feet is not only powerful but also controlled, making it ideal for those with chronic muscle tension or those who simply enjoy a deeper massage.
Is This Method Right for You?
If you are seeking a massage that offers deeper pressure with less residual soreness, Ashiatsu might be the perfect fit. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to relax quickly and enjoy long-lasting benefits without the intensity often associated with other deep tissue techniques.
