Ashibumi

 

Ashibumi is an Eastern modality in which Sachi uses her feet instead of her hands to compress and stretch tight muscles and connective tissue.

Ashibumi originated in Asia a few thousand years ago. It was practiced by monks as a part of their training and for treating people. It is said that 1,000 times more energy comes out of the feet compared to the hands.

​

In Ashibumi, Sachi uses hand bars on the ceiling to control the angle and depth of pressure. By using her body weight efficiently, she can put up to 3-4 times more pressure than with her hands. And, because of the broad surface of the feet, the pressure is spread out so it’s relaxing without the feeling of invasive pain.

The client lies on the massage table and Sachi walks on the whole body through the sheet. It usually starts from the feet, moving up the shoulders and pumping blood and lymph fluid back to the organs. By improving blood and lymph flow, organs become more energized and metabolism increases.

Benefits include: releasing chronic tightness and tension, improving poor circulation, reducing stress and improving chronic fatigue.....oh, and did we mention? It's quite relaxing.
