HEALTH AND WELLNESS SPOTLIGHT

Ashiatsu – Massage at its Deepest

Although the roots of Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy® came from the Far East, this American adaptation is a western phenomenon. 
“Ashi” (as it’s often called) barefoot massage technique uses deep compression effleurage strokes that glide over the body. It combines flowing centrifugal and centripetal push, pull, pumping movements which can create a structural change in chronic soft tissue damage.
Although the Japanese term "Ashiatsu" is used in the trade name, the technique Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy® and its application are very different.  The root word “Ashi” means "foot" and "Atsu" means "pressure", so together they symbolize foot pressure. Bars are used above the head for balance and oil is essential for its purest application.

Often called “the deepest most luxurious massage on the planet”, Ashi, is available in the Pearl District at Fine Art Massage.  To book your appointment, call Candace at Fine Art Massage and get ready to relax!
