Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy<\/s><\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/header>
<\/p>\n

\nAshiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is a barefoot massage technique in which the therapist uses gravitational forces and distributes her body weight using her feet to apply deep, gentle and painless compression and long gliding strokes over the client\u2019s body. The pressure from the massage delivered by feet is deeper, yet less painful than a therapist using a thumb or an elbow. With slow movement, Ashiatsu treatment provides you deep relaxation. Ashiatsu is also excellent for relieving chronic back pain, loosening adhered tissues and tight muscles, and stimulate the body\u2019s own self-healing capabilities.<\/p>\n

Hot Stone Massage<\/s><\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/header>
<\/p>\n

Hot Stone Massage is a relaxation style of massage that uses smooth, heated Basalt stones. The therapist glides the stones over the skin smoothly, sometimes using the stones to apply pressure in large muscle areas. This massage is quite gentle in comparison to therapeutic or deep tissue massage but it has many similar benefits. The heat from the stones relaxes muscles and often increases an individual\u2019s tolerance of pressure.<\/p>\n
