 Ashiatsu - In this form of barefoot massage therapy, the practitioner stands on the table and uses parallel bars mounted above the table for balance and stability while using one or two feet to perform the massage strokes. Similar to Swedish Massage, this type of barefoot massage uses lubricated effleurage and petrissage strokes which are compressive, broad, consistent and flowing; giving the sensation of being massaged by very large hands. Tissues are left feeling invigorated, yet deeply relaxed. Massage to fine muscles such as the neck is performed with the hands. Treatment techniques like releasing pec minor or psoas release are also completed with the use of the therapists skilled hands.
