Ashiatsu is an ancient Eastern healing modality that provides relief and deep healing by using specific barefoot techniques on the body. Because of its specific actions and foundations in Chinese medical theory (Meridian Theory), it is considered medical body work. A big part of the Ashiatsu Healing Experience (AHE) here at The Center involves Ashiatsu. However AHE is not only for those who desire deeper pressure. During a session Mascia may use hand techniques like myofascial release, trigger point therapy, medical massage techniques, stretching, energy work, etc. Each session is designed specifically to address clients’ needs. However, Ashiatsu is an important part of these sessions because of its effectiveness in creating a deep transformative experience for the clients. Ashiatsu provides many healing benefits. The most common and noticeable effect it has is to relieve chronic pain and tension.
