Introduction:
Ashiatsu is actually much softer than other types of massage, but it also goes much deeper. All of this will make your experience less stressful and more relaxing because you’ll be able to get the relief you need without feeling more pain.
What Is An Ashiatsu Massage?
In the Japanese practice of ashiatsu, the therapist massages the client by applying pressure to various points on the body with their feet rather than their hands or arms. Because ashi means “foot” and also means “pressure,” “foot pressure” is a direct Japanese translation. Deep pressure is used in ashiatsu, a type of massage that is done with the feet. Since the name in Japanese means “foot pressure,” the treatment is done with the bare feet.
Therapists usually have two bars attached to the ceiling that they can use to steady themselves and make sure their clients are safe. Ashiatsu massage therapists used their bare feet to do deep compression, long gliding strokes, and assisted stretching.
Eases Both Short-Term And Long-Term Pain:
During an Ashiatsu massage, the therapist uses their foot to put pressure on the deep tissue. By moving the deeper layers of soft tissue, this treatment helps to loosen up the tissues, which makes chronic pain go away. The firm strokes of this massage help eliminate the inflammation that causes pain. During an Ashiatsu treatment, our therapists focused on getting rid of these stresses because most of the pain comes from adhesions and tight connective tissues.
Feel Free Of Pain:
Ashiatsu massages are very different in one important way. There isn’t much pain after treatment while the treatment is being done. A major complaint about traditional ashiatsu massages is that they are often painful. Some people say they “hurt so bad,” while others try to ease the pain as much as possible. In reality, applying pressure with the foot lets you apply more even, deep pressure with little to no pain. Many clients say they like the deep pressure of a foot massage better than a traditional thumb or elbow massage. Because Ashiatsu massage works on a wider range of muscle tissue, there isn’t much pain after the massage.
It Makes You More Flexible And Helps Your Blood Flow:
In Ashiatsu massage, the feet are important because they allow the therapist to find deep tissues and use gravity. With the help of gravity, muscle fibers may get longer and wider during long strokes, making the body more flexible.
The body’s tissues are often stretched in different directions during a massage, and this helps scar tissue and adhesions heal and improves circulation and flexibility. Runners often find that the Ashiatsu technique helps keep their knees and hips stable and flexible.
There Is Deep Tissue Therapy:
A therapist will usually use their hands, thumbs, elbows, and other body parts to reach deep tissues when giving you a deep tissue massage. With ashiatsu techniques, our massage therapists can reach the same level of depth and even more with just their feet. Also, compared to traditional deep tissue massages, this one lets the therapist keep the pressure high for longer.
Even after the massage is over, your body will continue to improve the flow of blood and lymph. Because these effects still last, many people say they feel open hours after getting a massage. Because the body is healing properly and the deepest tissues have been worked on, the effects last longer than a regular treatment. To get the most out of these long-lasting effects, you should drink lots of water and take it easy after your massage.
Worry And Stress Decrease:
All kinds of massage can help the body relax and let go of stress. But Ashiatsu is the only kind of massage shown to make people feel calmer and closer to nirvana. These massage techniques lower the main stress hormone in the body, cortisol. Ashiatsu massages have been linked to a healthier heart rate, less stress, and a better state of mind overall.
Conclusion:
Ashiatsu is known for helping with back problems, improving posture, and relieving stress and pain. It stretches the spine better than a regular massage, which makes it longer. By stretching the long back muscles and making the space between the spinal discs bigger, you can ease the pain caused by spinal compression and tight muscles.
Ashiatsu will help anyone who spends a lot of time sitting because it breaks up knots and long-term holding patterns and triggers the body’s natural healing response. Whether you work at a desk or train for a marathon, this technique can provide deep tissue work that is both more effective and less painful.
