Knoxville, November, 28,2024 — David Morgan Massage is thrilled to introduce Ashiatsu deep tissue massage to the Knoxville community and celebrate with an exclusive raffle that will award the winners with free Ashiatsu massage treatments. More information about the Ashiatsu massage raffle is available on the David Morgan Massage website.
Ashiatsu Deep Tissue Massage is a refreshing alternative to traditional massage therapy. It provides compression to deep tissue, leading to a more effective massage that relieves chronic tension and muscle pain.
While traditional massage therapy implies using hands and fingers to apply steady and even pressure to the body, Ashiatsu massage therapists use their feet to apply pressure. In other words, they step with or glide their feet on the client's back, gluteus muscles, and thighs, using bars to support their weight and regulate the pressure exerted on the client's body.
By using the heel and the ball of the foot, therapists can provide a firmer and wider pressure, as feet have a much broader surface area compared to hands and fingers. The broader surface area of the foot, combined with the therapist's applied pressure, targets the deeper muscle tissues to relieve chronic pain, reduce tension, and enhance overall flexibility.
The broader surface area and added pressure also help stimulate the fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place. It contains many nerves, making it almost as sensitive as the skin. However, when stressed, the fascia also tightens, a characteristic that often makes it responsible for what appears to be muscle soreness and pain. Sometimes, it's not the muscle's fault.
All of this makes Ashiatsu deep tissue massage great for everyone experiencing muscle soreness, joint issues, or tension that would require more intense pressure than conventional massage therapy can provide. "The beauty of Ashiatsu is that it allows for deep work without causing pain, making it ideal for anyone looking to address chronic issues in a relaxing way," Morgan explained.
The client receives a pre-consultation with the therapist prior to the therapy session so that they can determine the client's needs and goals. Ashiatsu massage involves the use of lotions and gliding techniques, which usually means that clients would have to remove at least some of their clothing or undress completely.
However, if the session only includes compression and stretching, the use of lotions might not be required, and the client may remain clothed. Whatever the case may be, the client will be given enough time to situate themselves. Ashiatsu, just like most massage techniques, is performed on a flat massage table, with the client lying face-down for the better part of the session.
It's important to note that Ashiatsu massage typically focuses on treating the back and shoulder muscles, as well as legs, with gliding techniques reserved for arms, thighs, and calves. The abdominal muscles aren't typically treated using Ashiatsu foot techniques, so there's really no need to worry about someone stepping on your stomach.
"With Ashiatsu, I can help clients address deeper layers of tension and create longer-lasting relief. My goal is to make this therapy accessible to everyone, from athletes to those with desk jobs who need help with chronic stiffness and pain," Morgan says.
Apart from Ashiatsu deep tissue massage, David Morgan Massage also offers prenatal massage, Thai massage, lymphatic draining massage, and much more. David has more than five years of experience in massage therapy, and his practice is currently hosting an Ashiatsu massage raffle, with a chance to win free sessions as a way to celebrate the launch of this new service.
The first-place winner will receive three free Ashiatsu treatments, allowing them to experience the benefits of Ashiatsu deep tissue massage firsthand. Additionally, two second-place winners will receive one free Ashiatsu massage treatment each.
The raffle is open to all Knoxville community members, providing an opportunity for clients to enjoy the healing power of Ashiatsu massage. The drawing will take place in December, and those interested can enter at the David Morgan Massage website.
