Ashi-Thai is a therapeutic massage technique combing Ashiatsu (barefoot massage) with traditional Thai yoga stretching. Therapists use overhead bars for balance to apply deep, targeted pressure with their 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".
