Ashi foot atsu pressure is the Japanese term of "foot pressure". It is oriented from thousands of Asian cultures and now it is a western version of ancient form. The application of this barefoot massage technique uses deep compression effleurage strokes by the therapist's barefoot that glide over the body. Bars are used above the head for balance and lubricant is essential for its purest application.
By combining flowing force and incorporating push, pull, pumping effleurage movements, the results relieve symptoms of chronic soft tissue damage and create a structural change in it. If you ever have chronic pain or sudden muscle spasms and don't know what to do to get rid of those or nothing works for them, you really want to try this and get into the world of wonder!
Essential oils are infused with a soy candle in a low heat melting point. Then is used in combination of heated smooth basalt stones to banish the stresses of everyday life. Swedish, Shiatsu massage techniques and opposing hot and cool stones bring you to a profound state of relaxation.
These essential oil candles leave the skin silky smooth and delightfully scented. Rich medicinal herbs are blended, wrapped and tied to make firm, fragrant bundles. The bundles are steamed hot, slowly releasing their revitalizing and healing essential oils, then pressed against the body during massage. Moist heat radiates down through the tissues, melting away tension and soreness. Steam opens the pores and the skin breathes.
The skin drinks the rejuvenating, enriching herbal oil blend. Soothing, uplifting aromas open the senses and relax the mind. The intent is to release energy blockages, re-balance and stimulate energy flow. This massage releases chronic patterns of tension in the body through long slow strokes and deep finger pressure on tensed areas. This technique improves body alignment and freedom of movement. If you enjoy massage work with a fair amount of pressure but find deep tissue uncomfortable at times you may want to request firm Swedish massage for a portion of your session.
