Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is especially effective for the lower back, spinal erectors, shoulders, gluteus Maximus, and hamstrings. It is known to improve the spine and decrease back pain. Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy combines the best elements of traditional Thai Massage with Barefoot Shiatsu from Japan and Southern India. It is performed with flowing, gliding, deep foot pressure while the therapist is balanced from parallel bars anchored to the ceiling. Using Ashiatsu it is easy to obtain accurate, sustained pressure where needed on points along the back spine legs and arms. Using the surface area of the therapist feet ( with the pressure tailored to your preference ), Ashiatsu smooths the muscle fibers and tissues, and creates an increased space between vertebrae. Mobilization above and below the joints naturally takes place due to the deep compressions to the surrounding muscle.
