When it comes to relieving chronic pain, tension, and tightness, deep tissue massage is often the go-to solution. However, for many people, the idea of a traditional deep tissue massage conjures thoughts of discomfort or even pain as therapists work through stubborn knots. What if there was a way to achieve the same incredible benefits of deep tissue massage—or even better results—without the intensity or discomfort? That’s where Ashiatsu massage comes in.

What is Ashiatsu Massage?

Ashiatsu massage, often referred to as “barefoot massage,” is an advanced technique where the therapist uses their feet to apply deep, broad pressure to your muscles. By leveraging gravity and the strength of their entire body, therapists can deliver consistent, effective pressure without the sharp or pinpoint intensity that’s sometimes associated with hands-on deep tissue work.

At Nicole Beasley Massage, Ashiatsu is my specialty, and I’m proud to bring this transformative technique to clients in Lavonia and the Lake Hartwell area.

Why Choose Ashiatsu for Deep Tissue Massage?

  • Deeper Pressure, Less Pain: The broad surface of the therapist’s foot provides deep pressure that penetrates multiple layers of muscle, but it’s evenly distributed, making it feel therapeutic rather than painful.

If you need deep tissue massage therapy, but don’t enjoy the discomfort of pointy elbows and thumbs, then Ashiatsu Deepfeet Bar Therapy® is the optimal treatment for you. Ashiatsu is a barefoot massage technique in which the therapist delivers deep, broad, consistent pressure while utilizing their bare feet and body weight. Working with gravity instead of against it, Ashiatsu therapists can provide an effective therapeutic massage without causing discomfort to themselves or the client. Lubrication is applied to the client’s body, making this deep form of bodywork a fluid and seamless barefoot dance. Parallel bars are above the massage table for balance, support, and client safety. There are numerous benefits to choosing Ashiatsu Bar Therapy; The main advantage is more pressure with less discomfort during and after your treatment. Clients have also reported an increased range of motion, reduced muscle tension and pain, and a sense of overall wellbeing.

BENEFITS OF ASHIATSU DEEPFEET BAR THERAPY

Deep Tissue Without Discomfort If you need deep tissue work, but don’t enjoy the discomfort that comes with pointy elbows and thumbs, then Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy® is the treatment for you! Gravity enables Ashiatsu therapists to deliver up to 3x deeper pressure than traditional hands-on treatments. Utilizing body weight and the foot as a massage tool provides broad, consistent pressure that creates structural change throughout the body. As a result, clients will enjoy the same extra range of movement and decrease in chronic tension relief without enduring painful strokes. Frees Up Bundled Nerves Movements along the paraspinal and the lumbar region can relieve muscle spasms and open the intervertebral foramen (where spinal nerves pass through). It will give the nerves more space and increase circulation by bringing more freshly oxygenated blood to the treated area. Elongates Muscles and Detoxifies Many shiatsu strokes help to elongate the spine. These movements dramatically stretch shortened muscles, which helps in relieving pain and discomfort. These long fluid strokes also help flush the body’s lymphatic system, which releases a very high rate of metabolic waste. We recommend drinking plenty of water before and after a treatment to help detoxify. Improves Posture and Decreases Pain After only a few treatments, shiatsu barefoot massage has improved posture and range of motion. It will significantly reduce or eliminate chronic muscle pain and improve bodily functions, creating a higher sense of balance and well-being within the body. Typically, one treatment a week for upwards of six weeks will produce these kinds of results.

You may remember the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, when Olympic swimmers Michael Phelps and Natalie Coughlin stood on the medal podiums with round bruises noticeable on their backs and shoulders. Their interviews revealed the secret behind the “marks.” Both reported using cupping to help enhance their performance. Many professional athletes consider cupping as their “most effective health and fitness ‘secret.’” Nicole Beasley Massage and Bodywork in Lavonia offers cupping as an add-on service to our massage therapy.
