Master the Art of Ashiatsu Massage at Le Spa Massage Academy

Ashiatsu Massage is a unique and powerful deep-tissue massage technique that uses the therapist’s feet to deliver broad, deep, and consistent pressure. At Le Spa Massage Academy, our Ashiatsu Massage Course provides students with expert training in this specialised modality, ensuring they develop the skills and confidence to integrate Ashiatsu into their professional practice.

What is Ashiatsu Massage?

Ashiatsu, meaning “foot pressure” in Japanese, is a barefoot massage technique that allows therapists to apply deep, soothing strokes using their feet. With the aid of overhead bars for balance and control, practitioners can deliver sustained compression, gliding strokes, and deep pressure that traditional hands-on massage cannot achieve.

Benefits of Ashiatsu Massage

• Provides deep tissue relief without excessive strain on the therapist’s hands.
• Improves circulation and lymphatic flow.
• Releases muscle tension and chronic pain.
• Enhances flexibility and mobility.
