Ashiatsu massage is a good fit for most people!

Ashiatsu massage is a balanced mix of relaxation and is also pain-relieving! This style of massage is good for those who have upper back pain, lower back pain, sharp hip pain, shoulder pain, tingling down the legs, and/or desk-related stress! The therapist’s sanitized heels are used to give long, gliding strokes down along the back and legs. Deep stretching techniques are also used to target any neck and shoulder pain. In my office in Mesa, I am very communicative with my clients to ensure the correct amount of pressure is applied.

Who Ashiatsu massage is not good for:

Breast implants

Have breast implants? Regular style massage like therapeutic massage, deep tissue massage, hot stone massage, and/or swedish massage where the therapist uses her hands is a better choice for you! 

Recent back surgeries

It is better to let any surgeries heal correctly before receiving a deep tissue massage like Ashiatsu massage. Spinal changes/surgeries like fused discs, spine implants, etc may be a contraindication for Ashiatsu massage.

Recent back injuries

It is better to let any surgeries heal correctly before receiving a deep tissue massage like Ashiatsu massage. Spinal changes/surgeries like fused discs, spine implants, etc may be a contraindication for Ashiatsu massage.

Those who only enjoy a lighter pressure

Ashiatsu massage is naturally a medium deep to deeper pressure. Ashiatsu massage is good for those who enjoy a deeper, more firm pressure, or who can’t find a therapist who can “use enough pressure.” The therapist uses gravity and more body weight which naturally creates a more firm pressure. If you enjoy a lighter pressure, any other style of massage where the therapist uses her hands instead will be a better choice for you!

Will Ashiatsu Massage Help Me?

At East Valley Therapeutic Massage, I understand your back discomfort and am here to bring you relief. As a specialist in computer-related back and hip pain, I am trained in the knowledge of and have worked on many people with upper back pain with great results. Massage is a great piece to add to your self-care. If you are having pain, or just want to relax, and the above contraindications that I mentioned above do not pertain to you, then I highly recommend trying Ashiatsu massage for yourself! For best results, bi-weekly or monthly appointments are recommended. Located in Mesa, Arizona.
