A therapeutic technique in which the massage therapist uses their feet, rather than their hands, to apply deep pressure to the client's body. During the session, the therapist typically uses overhead bars or other support structures to maintain balance and control while walking or applying pressure with their feet. This method allows for more even and consistent pressure, often reaching deeper muscle layers compared to traditional hand-based techniques. Ashiatsu is great for relieving tension, improving circulation, and providing a deep sense of relaxation.

Clients can expect a customized experience, as therapists can adjust the pressure to suit individual comfort levels. The broad surface area of the foot helps distribute pressure more evenly, which can be particularly beneficial for those with chronic pain or muscle knots. Sessions often start with lighter pressure to warm up the muscles before gradually increasing intensity. The use of feet allows for long, sweeping strokes that cover larger areas of the body, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the massage. Many find Ashiatsu to be a unique and profoundly therapeutic experience, leaving them feeling rejuvenated and deeply relaxed.
