What this experience feels like
Ashiatsu uses overhead bars for balance while the therapist glides smooth, weighted strokes along the body. The pressure is heavier than traditional deep tissue but feels broad rather than pinpointed.
Most guests describe it as the most releasing pressure they've ever experienced — the kind that finally gets where it needs to go.
Best for
- Lovers of deep, full-body pressure
- Athletes and hikers with long-held tightness
- Guests who find traditional deep tissue too pointed
What happens during the session
- Setup
- You'll lie face-down while the therapist uses the overhead bars for balance and control.
- Pressure
- Broad, even, and very releasing. Communicated and adjusted throughout.
- Sensation
- Heavy and grounding, like ocean waves passing through.
- Pacing
- Slow and continuous — designed for a deep, restorative finish.
Before & after your session
Small choices before and after your session make the work land deeper — here's what our therapists recommend.
Before you arrive
- Hydrate
- Drink a full glass of water in the hour before your session. Well-hydrated tissue responds more quickly and holds the work longer.
- Eat lightly
- Avoid a heavy meal in the two hours beforehand. A small snack is perfect.
- Arrive a few minutes early
- Give yourself 5–10 minutes to settle. We'll offer tea and walk you through anything new.
- Come as you are
- No pre-session shower required — but we have a private guest bathroom if you'd like to freshen up after a hike.
After your session
- Sip water through the day
- Bodywork gently mobilises tissue. Steady hydration helps you feel your best the next morning.
- Move gently, not intensely
- A slow walk, a soak, or a stretch is beautiful. Save the hard workout for the day after.
- Notice, don't chase
- Most guests feel the deepest calm 6–12 hours later. Let the session keep unfolding.
- Rebook while it's fresh
- Guests who book their next session before leaving the studio maintain the benefit longest.
