Ashiatsu is an ancient form of bodywork that started with Buddhist Monks, first from China and then from Thailand and Japan. Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy, sometimes referred to as barefoot Shiatsu, is a well documented, effective technique for the treatment of chronic lower back and neck pain, and is recognized by the American Medical Association. This unique deep pressure work is performed with soothing strokes that are applied to all areas of the back using hand and foot pressure to milk the muscles, open chakras and release toxins. This treatment is guaranteed to induce deep relaxation, relieve tight muscles and to stimulate the body's own self-healing capabilities.

Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is a unique massage created by Ruthie Hardee. By combining deep tissue and Swedish techniques Ruthie has created a euphoric massage experience unlike any other. Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is known "the deepest most luxurious massage on the planet."

Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is performed with smooth, flowing, gliding deep foot pressure. The therapist supports herself with wooden bars suspended from the ceiling while applying different foot strokes along the body. Using the pressure of the therapist's feet on strategic points along the back and spine, a push-pull-pumping affect is created on the soft tissue that surrounds the muscles and inter-vertebral disc space.

Mobilization above and below the joints naturally takes place due to the deep compression to surrounding muscle.
