Ashiatsu Massage
Ashiatsu is a barefoot massage technique where your therapist uses their feet to deliver deep, broad pressure. Overhead bars provide balance and control, allowing the therapist to use gravity and body weight for a uniquely deep and luxurious experience. This technique provides deep compression without the discomfort sometimes associated with elbows or thumbs. The broad surface of the foot spreads the pressure evenly, making it feel both deep and soothing.
Benefits
- Deep consistent pressure
- Less discomfort than traditional deep tissue
- Full body relaxation
- Improved posture
- Spinal decompression
- Enhanced circulation
What to expect
Every session starts with a short consultation so Conni understands your goals, problem areas, and preferred pressure. You are professionally draped for the entire session and undress only to your level of comfort. The session length you book is hands-on table time, so arriving a few minutes early keeps your full time on the table.
Tell your therapist about pregnancy, recent surgery or injury, blood clots, skin conditions, allergies, and any medication that affects circulation or sensation. Massage is adapted, or postponed, when a condition makes it unsafe. Coastal Therapeutics provides therapeutic massage and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions.
