Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy™ (AOBT) is a barefoot massage technique
using deep compression effleurage strokes that glide over the body.
Gravitational force is combined with centrifugal and centripetal
movements.This creates a
structural change in chronic soft tissue damage.Correct application will provide deep relaxation and
stimulate the lymphatic system of the body. Ceiling bars are used to support and balance the therapist and
lubricant is applied to the body. Scroll down to see a picture of a session in progress!
We are so pleased to be able to offer this modality through our independent contractor Christine. Pricing and intake for Ashiatsu are different from our regular services so please read this page carefully and make note of the contraindications listed below.
We are only providing Ashiatsu to first-time clients with preapproval. If you schedule an appointment and Christine feels Ashi is not appropriate for you we will provide a regular deep tissue session. We are taking these precautions to avoid client injury because the depth and style of pressure are different for AOBT. With clear and precise communication, Christine will arrive at a compression level that is therapeutic for each client. She will confirm that you understand the nature of the technique and that you do not have preexisting conditions that should prevent you from having a session. We also ask that you give immediate feedback during the session to avoid any discomfort. This work is known as "The Deepest, Most Luxurious Massage on the Planet" so we're sure you will enjoy it!
