About Ashiatsu/Barefoot Massage

Barefoot massage is a massage modality that is performed with the practitioner's feet. The practitioner employs the use of a fabric strap fastened to a massage table to deliver therapeutic myofascial and deep tissue techniques. This type of barefoot massage delivers constant deep pressure throughout the client's body. Barefoot massage is considered the deepest pressure than any other massage modality.

• Broad compressive movements induces deep relaxation quickly.
• It helps to elongate the spine. Relieving muscular discomfort and opening up the space in the intervertebral foramen.
