Ashiatsu…or hands-on, who’da thought we could ever get the best of both worlds in life? But you can. Well, let me explain what I mean folks. My CLIENTS can. When a licensed massage therapist in Kalispell, Montana has training in both hands-on and Ashiatsu techniques, the client truly wins because the therapist has more tools in their belt to try and fix the issue and facilitate healing. I’ve learned to mix and match and use whatever tools are best suited to the person on my table. If you came to me and said “Johnny, I just need ya to work on my right thumb for a half hour…”, I probably wouldn’t use my feet much. However if you’ve suffered a hamstring injury from skiing, there’s probably no better solution than Ashiatsu. During most table sessions at my Flathead Valley massage practice, I get up and down, on and off the table whenever I need to, depending on the needs of my client. They truly get the best of both worlds because I can use my hands AND my feet. The massage therapist wins too, because it keeps things interesting for us, we are less likely to suffer RSI’s like golfers or tennis elbow, and the ashiatsu visual in marketing is so unique we’re pretty much rock stars. It takes a lot of upper body and core strength to offer this type of deep tissue massage therapy. I work out frequently to be at my best for you! As of this writing, I’m currently the only LMT in Kalispell offering this unique, trend-setting service. I have the proper training, experience, and set-up to deliver a massage therapy session that will confuse your nervous system, relax your muscles, and leave you with a great sense of finding something new. Please come try Ashiatsu, kinesio taping, chair massage, or any of the great services available at my Flathead Valley massage practice. Cheers!
