What is Myofascial Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage or FasciAshi Massage ?

Myofascial Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage sessions at MR WELLNESS LA from Arthur are focused on finding restriction patterns in your tissue that contribute to your main complaint of pain or discomfort. Although different areas of your body may be treated within a session, this is not always a “full body” massage. A few good head-to-toe, steamroller-like assessment strokes typically start out the session, then we hone in on the tissue-issue that “kneads” the most focus.
Traditional “Hands On” Manual Therapists like Physical Therapists or Chiropractors, Airrosti Providers & advanced fascial trained Massage Therapists employ MANY elements & approaches to Myofascial Release in their work, so you will find these ideas almost everywhere.
HOW USING THE FEET AS A TOOL MAKES THIS DIFFERENT: because I am using my feet, the broader pressure does not have that mentality of
"stab and drag thru your muscles with an elbow or thumb until you cry" I use my feet because it diffuses the pressure & doesn’t trigger your pain response in the same way a smaller tool like fingers/elbows/thumbs would.
In any Myofascial session, much less lotion/oil is applied to your body to help get a better grip & engagement of the tissue, to help me really feel the elastisity & plyability, rather than glossing over it. . This helps me move very slow, & give deep, solid, steady sustained pressure to help unstick the stuck parts that hold you back.
Myofascial work typically is intense, but not "no pain no gain." Using a Barefoot Massage approach to some theories a practioner would apply through their hands gives you the same benefits.... Just less torture in the process.
