Ashiatsu is a barefoot massage technique that has been performed for thousands of years. Its roots are in India and Asia. Performed today is a Westernized version of the oriental bar therapy. If you are in need of a deep tissue massage, this is the answer. Ashiatsu is performed with the massage therapist holding on to parallel bars attached to the ceiling. I hold onto the bars for balance, and use my feet to get the deep tension that is in your muscles.  I promise I'm not stepping on you! I'm simply letting gravity help direct the varying amounts of pressure where you need it the most. This is easiest on me versus using my hands for a traditional deep tissue. It is most relaxing for you. 

It is the opposite of shiatsu. Ashiatsu means foot pressure, while shiatsu means finger pressure.
