Thai Ashiatsu Massage
Have you ever seen photos or video footage of a massage therapist walking on a client's back using ceiling bars and straps for support?
This is Thai Ashiatsu Massage, a powerful and effective form of massage therapy that has been added to Jasmine SPA offerings.
Controlled foot pressure uses the physics of both bodies - the therapist and the client - for maximum benefit. Using the feet, the therapist activates acupressure points and spreads tissue fibers, distributing more body weight and pressure than is possible with traditional massage therapy using fingers, hands and arms.
Using the feet, Jasmine staff push, pull and pump the tissue to relieve the symptoms of chronic soft tissue damage.
Ashiatsu can be very effective in treating scar tissue and is the most profound way to achieve myofascial release. The support bars and straps allow the practitioner to control the weight and pressure - Ashiatsu feels more like a deep tissue massage (which it is) than someone walking on your back.
