Ready for deep tissue massage without the discomfort? Gravity enables Ashiatsu therapists to deliver up to 3x deeper pressure than traditional hands-on treatments. Utilizing bodyweight and the foot as a massage tool provides broad, consistent pressure that creates structural change throughout the body. Ashiatsu elongates muscles, frees up bundled nerves, improves posture, and decreases pain.

Due to the deep compressive nature of Ashiatsu massage, therapists must take extra precaution with certain client conditions. These are just a handful of common conditions that would be contraindicated for Ashiatsu. However, a certified Deepfeet Therapist will have full knowledge of all contraindications for Ashiatsu and how to best address their client needs. We will ask that you reschedule your appointment as a regular massage if any of the following apply: pregnancy or trying to conceive, recent injuries or surgeries, Vertigo, autoimmune disorders, compromised immune system, Osteoporosis, uncontrolled high blood pressure, taking blood thinners, liver or kidney disorders, Hemophilia or easy bruising, and advanced or uncontrolled Diabetes.
