In today’s hectic lifestyles, a massage can be very soothing and relaxing to relieve your tired bodies. If you prefer a deep massage, Ashiatsu is for you.
Ashi means foot and atsu means pressure. The person giving you a massage, uses his/her feet to apply pressure on your back. It is not as popular as the other kinds of massage, but is gradually gaining popularity.
If you like someone walk on your back, and give you a massage, then lie back and enjoy this massage. It is a deep tissue massage, that doesn’t hurt when you are getting the knots out. But you should not go for it if you suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure or underwent any recent surgery (including eye surgery). Women who have had breast implants, or pregnant and new moms should not go for it. And it should not be done during menstruation.
The person giving massage softens his/her hands with lots of oil, so that you don’t feel that there’s someone walking on you. You just feel someone gliding their hands on your back. The pressure is applied depending on your body’s reaction and how much pressure you can take.
The spinal nerves are relaxed and tension is removed. When done with the right amount of pressure, it relaxes your tired and wearied back.
