Ashiatsu is a unique massage therapy that applies pressure through the therapist’s feet, rather than hands or arms. This deep tissue technique harnesses the therapist’s body weight and gravity to deliver broad, consistent pressure, penetrating the deepest layers of muscles, joints, and bones for effective pain relief and relaxation. Renowned for offering profound deep tissue work without the discomfort often associated with other methods, Ashiatsu stands apart. It can be performed with clothes on or off, similar to Swedish massage, providing versatility for clients. At Strategic Bodywork, we dedicate one specialized room to Ashiatsu, equipped with bars to support the therapist during the session. This modality is particularly ideal for clients seeking substantial pressure, especially from smaller female therapists, blending intensity with comfort.
