Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy
What is Ashiatsu? How does it differ from other types of massage?
Translated from Japanese, "Ashi" means "foot" and "Atsu" means "pressure". Ashiatsu is a style of bodywork where the practitioner utilizes their feet, instead of hands, to create the pressure on the client's body.
Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy uses bare feet and body weight to apply deep, broad, and consistent pressure to the client's body. This therapy works with gravity, not against it, allowing the therapist to deliver an effective therapeutic massage without causing discomfort to themselves or the client.

To enhance the fluidity and relaxation of this deep style of massage, the therapist applies cream or oil to the client's body. Parallel bars are installed above the massage table to ensure the therapist's balance and support, as well as to guarantee the safety of the client.
