Barefoot Shiatsu: An Ancient Tradition
Barefoot Shiatsu is an ancient form of bodywork brought to us through Buddhist monks, first from China and then from Thailand and Japan. Very deep soothing strokes are applied to all muscles of the back using hands and foot pressure to milk the muscles, open chakras and release toxins. This treatment is guaranteed to induce deep relaxation, relieve tight inflammation and stimulate the body's own self-healing capabilities. This treatment is like no other in Colorado.
About the Technique
Ashiatsu literally means foot pressure (ashi=foot, atsu=pressure) in Japanese, and is a massage technique adapted from an ancient Japanese form of barefoot massage, whereby the therapist applies pressure to the client's back with soft, clean feet using long, gliding strokes and gentle, but firm pressure.
Ashiatsu therapy techniques now also make use of knees, elbows, palms and fingers where necessary and appropriate. By working with the body, Ashiatsu can heighten total physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual awareness.
Treatments typically include stretching, stimulation or sedation of acupressure points/meridians, and structural alignment techniques. The work is effective therapeutically and clients will often feel the work deeply in their muscles, internal organs, and bones.
