Back Walking Massage
AN ANCIENT TECHNIQUE FOR A DEEP MASSAGE
Schedule an Ashiatsu Massage
From the Japanese word Ashiatsu — ashi (foot), atsu (pressure) — comes a type of massage where the therapist uses their feet to apply pressure. This technique is thousands of years old and originates from several countries, including Japan, Thailand, China, and the Philippines. A back walking massage involves the therapist using poles that are attached to the ceiling to provide balance, and with the help of gravity, they are able to control the amount of weight and pressure being applied. Ashiatsu offers a steady and controlled massage that may be slightly deeper than a deep tissue massage, but is still as gentle as it is deep, gliding pressure is spread through the feet.

What Is A Back Walking Massage?
Having a massage therapist walk on your back may sound extreme, but if you’re looking for a deep and therapeutic massage, ashiatsu is a wonderful experience. If you’re worried about the safety of this technique, the therapists at Cedar Massage are highly skilled and can assure you that it is safe, effective, and provides the same great benefits as a traditional deep tissue massage. With the use of poles to provide balance and to control the amount of pressure being applied, you can always let your therapist know if the pressure is too heavy.
The use of the therapist’s feet during an ashiatsu massage provides them with an opportunity to leverage a wider surface and provide a deep and relaxing experience that is harder to achieve using only their hands. Using their body weight to apply more controlled pressure, trigger points, and dense muscle groups can be kneaded to relieve stress, elongate muscle fibers, and reduce tension.
Experience a Historical Technique
Ashiatsu massage has been used for centuries in numerous cultures and countries, making it a tried and true technique for deep tissue massage. It not only has a long history but it also brings a unique cultural aspect to your massage experience. At Cedar Massage, our therapists are trained in multiple techniques, including ashiatsu, so you can relax knowing that you are receiving a massage with rich history and well-honed skills.
Deep Muscle Penetration for Maximum Results
The gliding pressure and broad surface area of the feet allow for deep muscle penetration that is hard to achieve with traditional massage techniques. By targeting dense muscle groups and trigger points, ashiatsu allows for an effective release of tension and stress. It’s not just about digging into the muscles, but also about maintaining a steady and controlled pressure to work out knots and break down scar tissue. This unique form of massage is ideal for those who suffer from chronic pain or just want a more intense massage experience.
Say Goodbye to Stress and Tension
Back walking massage techniques help to elongate muscle fibers, increase blood flow, and reduce tension in the back and shoulders. The use of deep pressure on trigger points also releases endorphins, helping to promote relaxation and a sense of well-being. By addressing both physical and mental stressors, ashiatsu can offer a well-rounded massage experience that leaves you feeling balanced and rejuvenated.
Improve Your Posture and Alignment
With proper alignment being the key to overall wellness, it’s important to take care of your skeletal structure. Back walking massage can help correct imbalances and improve posture by focusing on the muscles that contribute to postural issues. By releasing tension in these areas, you can experience greater mobility, less pain, and an overall improvement in your body’s alignment.
