Ashi-Thai is a therapeutic massage technique combing Ashiatsu (barefoot massage) with traditional Thai yoga stretching. I use overhead bars for balance to apply deep, targeted pressure with my feet, offering deep tissue benefits and, and flexibility enhancements while the client remains fully clothed on a table. 

Key Features and Benefits

• Deep Tissue & Flexibility: Blends deep,,, broad, pressure with assisted, yoga-like stretches for improved mobility and flexibility.

• Comfortable & Effective: Performed on a heated table with the client wearing comfortable, stretchy clothing (e.g., yoga gear).

• Targeted Relief: Excellent for relieving back and hip pain, as well as addressing repetitive strain injuries.

• Allows therapists to use body weight for pressure rather than relying solely on hands or elbows, ensuring consistent, precise, and deep, pressure.

• Benefits: Promotes deep, relaxation, increases circulation, and improves energy flow. 

What to Know Before a Session

• Dress: Clients are required to wear loose, comfortable clothing (leggings, sweatpants, long or short sleeved t-shirt).

• No oils are typically used in this modality.

• Experience: It feels like a mix of deep tissue, massage and assisted stretching, often described as a "full-body, recalibration".
