Is Ashiatsu right for me?
Barefoot massage is the ultimate bodywork for athletes and those that feel that they cannot get enough pressure with regular massage. The use of the feet provides deeper, more evenly distributed and tolerable pressure. It creates great compression and traction for the spine as well.
Ashi is contraindicated for certain people including:
- Anyone pregnant or trying to get pregnant
- Recent eye procedures such as Lasik (wait 72 hours)
- Breast implants within 9 months
- Any recent injuries or surgeries
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure or heart conditions, pacemaker, stent or shunt.
- Osteoporosis
- Accute inflammatory conditions
