Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage
In the Japenese language “Ashi” translates to foot and “Atsu” into pressure. Ashiatsu, is a barefoot massage technique in which the therapist delivers deep, broad, consistent pressure while utilizing their feet and body weight. Working with gravity instead of against it, Ashiatsu therapists are able to provide an effective therapeutic massage without causing pain or discomfort to themselves or the receiving client.
Cream or oil is applied to the clients body making this deep therapeutic massage fluid and relaxing. Parallel bars are used above the massage table for balance, support and client safety.
Deep Tissue Without Discomfort
If you are in need of deep tissue work, but don’t enjoy the discomfort that comes with pointy elbows and thumbs, then Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy® is the treatment for you! Gravity enables Ashiatsu therapists to deliver up to 3x deeper pressure than with traditional hands-on treatments. Utilizing the broad surface of the foot as a massage tool provides consistent pressure and contours nicely to the body. As a result many clients will enjoy the same extra range of movement and decrease in chronic tension relief without having to endure painful strokes.
Frees Up Bundled Nerves
Movements along the para spinals and the lumbar region can relieve muscle spasms and open the intervertebral foramen (where spinal nerves pass through). It will give the nerves more space as well as increase circulation by bringing more freshly oxygenated blood to the area being treated.
Elongates Muscles and Detoxifies
Many ashiatsu strokes help to elongate the spine. These movements dramatically stretch shortened muscles, which help in relieving pain and discomfort. These long fluid strokes also help flush the body’s lymphatic system, which releases metabolic waste at a very high rate. We recommend drinking plenty of water before and after a treatment to help with the detoxification process.
Improves Posture and Decreases Pain
After only a few treatments, ashiatsu barefoot massage has been known to improve posture and range of motion. It will significantly reduce or eliminate chronic muscle pain, and improve bodily functions, which will create a higher sense of balance and well being within the body. Typically, one treatment a week for upwards of six weeks will produce these kinds of results.

Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying broad sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. The right depth of pressure applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate. Fascia is known to store emotions and trauma. Releasing these tissues can help immensely in the release of traumas stored in the body.
Hands-On Treatment
Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on skin with minimal oil or cream. The therapist will accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.
Pregnancy / Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue.

Additional Service: CBD $20 add on

Additional Service: Cupping $10 add on
Cupping therapy is a traditional, time-honored treatment that is safe, comfortable, and remarkably effective for many health disorders and chronic pain conditions. It’s the use of negative pressure (suction) rather than compression (as with massage) to accomplish bodywork ranging from myofascial release to lymphatic drainage, and everything in between.
Cupping therapy rapidly facilitates rigid soft tissue release, loosens and lifts connective tissues, breaks up and drains stagnation while increasing blood and lymph flow to skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments in ways not possible using compression.
Cupping helps direct the body’s natural healing mechanisms to engage, and clients usually experience healing from injuries in a much reduced period of time – either for acute, new injuries, or old stubborn ones with long-term chronic pain.
