Ashiatsu is an
adaptation of an ancient form of barefoot massage using a
combination of deep compression and gliding strokes. Overhead bars
provide stability for the therapist. The amount of even pressure
that is applied to the body by the feet can rarely be achieved by
the hands alone. Ashiatsu is recommended for those in need of stress
reduction as well as for the relief of chronic back discomfort. This
versatile massage can be given using light, moderate or deep
pressure. It is the therapy of choice for the seasoned client who
never feels a massage is “deep enough.” |
This was developed in Thailand many centuries ago, Thai
Yoga Massage is a comprehensive and interactive form of body work that
is delivered with the hands, arms, feet and legs. It relieves muscular
tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and helps to
balance the body energy meridians.
The recipient is
fully clothed and placed on a floor mat where the practitioner
guides them through a series of yoga postures representing a
harmonious and therapeutic dance. This healing art combines
therapeutic stretching, joint mobilization, rhythmic rocking and
acupressure. Thai Yoga Massage is easily adapted to benefit anyone,
regardless of age, gender, anatomy or flexibility.
