Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage

Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage is an ancient form of bodywork brought to us by Buddhist monks.  During an ASHIATSU BAREFOOT MASSAGE the therapist supports herself with wooden bars suspended from the ceiling.  The client lies on the massage table under a sheet.  Using the weight of her body, the therapist applies smooth, flowing, gliding deep pressure with her feet on strategic points along the back and spine.  This deep compression on the soft tissue that surrounds the muscles and inter-vertebral disc space mobilizes the joints and relieves irritations on the spinal nerve caused by inflammation and swelling.  The results are deeply therapeutic. 
 
Ashiatsu combines the best elements of traditional Thai massage, barefoot Shiatsu from Japan and Keralite massage from southern India.
