The three main benefits of Ashiatsu
Other than the widely recognized advantages of regular massages, there are three main benefits from getting an Ashiatsu treatment.
1、Gravity and relaxation
While getting regular hands-on massage, lots of people feel the need to have a deeper tissue work. But due to the practitioners’ own physical limits, either being not tall enough or big enough, the result is that in the end they are not able to provide the very amount of strength that people wish for.
For its part, Ashiatsu uses the practitioner’s body natural gravity which can exert a controlled; strong and steady pressure on the people’s body vertically. This allows for maximum efficiency in getting people to be fully relaxed.
2、Sedentarity and obesity control
Nowadays, because of the widespread changes to a more “sedentary” lifestyle (Which means more sitting and less moving.) and also with the changes to people’s diet, there is more and more obesity.
An Ashiatsu treatment will give more elasticity to the muscles; speed up the metabolism and promote a faster and better digestion of fat tissues. In essence, Ashiatsu contributes to weight loss.
3、Medical purposes
In China, Ashiatsu is routinely used in Chinese Traditional Medicine hospitals as a natural and efficient method to manage back and lower back pain and is combined with other medical methods to treat neurasthenia; osteoarthritis, lumbar disc herniation and many other painful ailments.
