Ashiatsu is a beautiful, and ancient type of deep tissue massage that has been modified in recent years to be more therapeutic and beneficial than ever before. 
​
Ashiatsu massage is performed with the feet.The massage therapist can distribute up to 100% of their body weight (with assistance from bars on the ceiling for balance), allowing for deep pressure that doesn't feel sharp, painful, or strain your breathing. 
​
Ashiatsu at Align Therapeutic Bodywork is unique because of the additional cupping therapy incorporated for the deep compression/decompression technique, and the use of hands throughout the session as well. 
​
If you prefer deeper pressure for your massage, I highly recommend giving Ashiatsu a try. Ashiatsu can be performed over the entire body (not just the back) and sessions are most beneficial in 2 hour long sessions.
