“Ashiatsu“ means foot (ashi) pressure(atsu) in Japanese, it is a type of bodywork form that the practitioner walks on the client’s back, using bars and other props for support to vary pressure and weight.

 

It applies therapeutic pressure (with or without clothing) to promote health and well being.

This unique style utilizes deep pressure and massage strikes mainly delivered by the practitioner’s well trained feet. It may also make use of knees, palms, and fingers where necessary and appropriate.
