Therapeutic benefits of Ashiatsu barefoot massage
|
Putting the Ahhh...in Massage
Barefoot Bar Therapy (also known as Ashiatsu) is a great option for athletes and weekend warriors alike! I offer this style of massage because it's truly the deepest, deep tissue massage in the Dallas Texas metroplex. Feeling tense?? You can enjoy pain free, unrestricted movement after only a few treatments! Celebrated benefits include:
Barefoot massage is the deepest "deep tissue" massage available. Barefoot bar therapy has all the elements of ancient therapeutic massage techniques that come from many cultures around the world including Africa, Japan, India, and the pacific rim, while at the same time incorporating elements of Western massage. Barefoot massage doesn't hurt like regular deep tissue massage sometimes can. SLOW, gliding strokes and deep compression feels soothing and relaxing as it's working in to problem areas, addressing deeper tissues, non invasively. You'll be the envy of all your friends when they learn about your massage sessions that include this Westernized style of "back walking" at Gaia Bodywork. 
Is Barefoot Massage Right for you?
Ashiatsu along the spine helps to increase the spaces in between the spinal vertebra allowing more room for the nerves to pass through. Deep tissue compressions using a broad surface ( the foot) can increase the circulation of body fluids through the body's organs and the tiny attachments of all the joints in your body. Barefoot bar therapy is much different than a traditional deep tissue massage. Your health history is very important to take in to consideration before scheduling a barefoot massage. Please know that barefoot massage is extremely safe when done by a well trained and skilled therapist. Our training will help us determine if barefoot bar therapy is safe for you. Your safety is our top priority. Make sure to complete your health history form and let us know of any medical conditions. |
