What is Ashiatsu massage?
What is the difference between stress relief and functional relief massage?
Ashiatsu is a massage technique where the therapist uses their bodyweight and feet as the massage tool. This delivers up to 3× deeper pressure than traditional hands-on massage. It elongates muscles, frees bundled nerves, improves posture, and decreases pain. Urban Massage offers it as a Functional Relief + Ashiatsu session.
Stress relief massage uses slow flowing strokes and compression to relax the nervous system and restore homeostasis. Functional relief massage is customized, outcome-based treatment targeting the root cause of pain, restricted range of motion, and muscle dysfunction from injury, overuse, posture issues, or chronic tension.
