Ashiatsu is deep tissue without the pain!
Long, expansive head to toe strokes stimulate the lymphatic and parasympathetic nervous systems faster, creating a sense of well being, improvement of bodily functions and homeostasis.
Typically, just 20 minutes of ashiatsu can do what it takes an hour to achieve with swedish massage!
Centripetal and centrifugal movements in our technique increase circulation with freshly oxygenated blood to the areas being treated, awakening interoception through muscular communication.
Deep, consistent compression from a well trained foot releases adhesions, trigger points and chronic holding patterns encouraging your body's natural healing potential.
Ashiatsu movements along the paraspinals and the lumbar region help to open the inter-vertebral disc space, increasing the space between the discs and allowing more room for the nerves to pass through.
Myofascial stretching with vertebral traction elongate the spine, improving movement and posture while relieving chronic pain and spasm. Deep, broad pressure with sustained stretches improves flexibility and range of motion.
The deeper than deep tissue compression coming from the entire broad surface of my feet can really do a number on circulation of fluids through your organs and the intrinsic attachments of all the joints in your body.
