Ashiatsu

image1

Ashiatsu is a massage specialty in which the therapist uses her feet instead of her hands and can be tailored to anyone able to lay face down and receive a regular massage, especially ideal for those seeking deeper muscle tissue work. 

Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release utilizes a set of gentle yet effective techniques, such as mild compressions and stretching, that  targets the fascia (connective tissue surrounding bones, muscles and organs and keep them "glued" together). Restrictions in the fascial system prevents adequate circulation and can lead to muscle tension, pain, and malfunctioning of the body's organs. When the fascia becomes entangled and hardens, toxins get trapped, creating a series of symptoms that negatively affect your health. Restoring the flow and the flexibility in the fascial system allows the body to heal itself naturally to homeostasis (healthy balance).

What is an Ashiatsu massage?

An Ashiatsu massage is a type of massage in which the therapist uses her feet to deliver the best therapeutic treatment and achieve relaxation and/or alleviate chronic aches and pains. The therapist undergoes specialized training in order to use suspended parallel bars for support and balance.


A typical Ashiatsu therapeutic massage utilizes slow, deep strokes and compressions to warm, release, and penetrate your muscle tissues. Ashiatsu's pressure is broader than a regular deep tissue massage (without the "pointy" feeling of a thumb or elbow) providing a more comfortable and relaxing experience. Ashiastu's pressure can be adjusted for each client's comfort and can be as deep as your therapist's full body weight or as a gentle as a Swedish massage with medium pressure.

Deep tissue

Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage is beneficial for athletes and those who sit for long periods of time and who like deeper pressure work. This type of massage is only recommended for those uncomfortable with Ashiatsu techniques and prefer receiving massages with their therapist's hands or tools.

Hot Stones

Hot Stone Massage is often paired with Swedish or Deep tissue massage. Stones are heated and used with oils to sooth, warm, and massage your muscles. This allows your body to relax and release tension and stress. It is highly recommended for individuals who would like a deeper relaxation through warmth, or to warm up upper layers of tissue prior to working out stubborn muscle knots.
