Ashiatsu (ashi=foot, atsu=pressure) is an ancient practice in which the massage therapist uses her feet to deliver the massage. This massage modality has been modernized in the West to include the use of a system of bars hanging from the ceiling. The therapist guides herself using the bars for balance and targeted weight distribution. Ashiatsu is well-documented and effective in the treatment of chronic lower back and neck pain. Ashiastu is approved by the NCBTMB (National Certification for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork), and recognized by the AMA (American Medical Association).

Designed to get into the connective tissue of the body, rather than just the surface muscles. A variety of techniques are used to deeply penetrate the muscles and fascia to loosen them and releasing tension. This type of massage is most beneficial when undertaken on a regular basis, so that therapist and client can work together to correct long term problems, relax the body, and prevent injury. A deep tissue massage also tends to be very slow, and the massage therapist will use long, flowing strokes to ease in and out of the muscle.

This session will be booked at owner’s discretion after conducting a thorough intake – more is not always better. We can guide you to the best treatment option. This treatment is ideal for those with multiple areas of concern. Throughout the session, a variety of massage techniques, along with cupping, Gua Sha and heat will be used.

“Myofascial pain is a chronic, painful condition that affects the fascia (connective tissue that covers the muscles). Myofascial pain syndrome might involve either a single muscle or a muscle group. In some cases, the area where a person experiences the pain might not be where the myofascial pain generator is located.” – Cleveland Clinic

Relax during this hydrotherapy treatment while the heat brings fresh oxygenated blood to your tissues in effort to quickly reduce tense muscle bands, aid in elimination of toxins, and prolong the benefits of your massage. Your massage therapist will let you rest with heat while your muscle tension melts away. This is a great way to begin a massage session, especially during cold winter months. No additional charge.
