Ashiatsu Massage

At Total Body Chiropractic & Massage in Bend, our Ashiatsu massage offers the deepest form of relaxation and muscle recovery. Using the therapist’s feet instead of hands, this technique delivers broad, even ressure that melts away chronic tension without the sharp discomfort of traditional deep-tissue work.

Ashiatsu, often called “barefoot massage,” is a specialized deep-tissue technique where the therapist uses overhead bars for balance while applying smooth, gliding pressure with their feet. This method allows for greater leverage and control, making it ideal for releasing tight muscles, improving posture, and restoring natural alignment.

Experience results that go beyond relaxation:

• Loosens deep layers of muscle tension
• Promotes better posture and spinal alignment
• Improves circulation and lymphatic flow
• Increases range of motion and flexibility
• Provides longer-lasting relief than standard massage

Many clients in Bend choose Ashiatsu after a sports massage or chiropractic adjustment to
maximize recovery and mobility.

Your therapist will guide you through the process:

You’ll lie comfortably face-down on a massage table while the therapist uses overhead support bars for balance.
Warm oils or lotions are applied to reduce friction and enhance glide.
Each stroke is deliberate, targeting deep fascia and muscle layers, ideal for athletes, active professionals, and anyone with chronic tightness or back pain.

Because Ashiatsu involves firm, body-weight pressure, it may not be suitable for everyone.
Please consult your provider if you:

• Are pregnant or trying to conceive
• Have uncontrolled high blood pressure or advanced diabetes
• Have a compromised immune system
• Have had recent surgery or implants
• Are taking medication affected by deep-pressure therapy

If you’re unsure, your therapist can recommend an alternative such as Swedish Massage or
Cupping Therapy.

Our licensed massage therapists work closely with our chiropractic team to create an integrated care plan that supports your body’s natural healing process. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, training hard, or just need a full-body reset, we’ll help you feel and move your best.
