Not exactly. The therapeutic Ashiatsu technique we use is best described as a slow, controlled gliding over the muscle tissue—not stepping or walking in a traditional sense. You can expect long, flowing strokes that follow the full length of the muscle fibers.

Because the feet offer broad, even pressure, they are able to cover a larger surface area than hands and engage an entire muscle group at once. This creates a smooth, deeply effective sensation—often compared to “ironing out” the muscles.

Overhead bars are securely mounted above each massage table. These bars allow the therapist to maintain balance, precision, and full control of the pressure, ensuring that each stroke is both safe and therapeutically consistent.
