Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy (AOBT)

Ashiatsu is a type of massage therapy in which the practitioner balances herself from parallel bars mounted above the table and massages the patient with her feet. Excellent for deep tissue work!

AOBT can be especially beneficial for deep pressure bodywork and includes the immediate benefits that most massages offer, such as:

• Reduced stress

• Relaxation

• Reduction of pain

• Reduction of swelling and inflammation along the spine

• Increased overall health and well-being

For a session of AOBT, you will remove as much clothing as you are comfortable with, and the parts of your body that do not need exposure will be covered. The practitioner of the AOBT will climb up onto the massage table that you are laying on and, stablizing themselves with the bar on the ceiling, they will massage you with their feet using a combination of Ashiatsu and Swedish foot massage.
