There are a few reasons why Ashiatsu massage is so effective. First, the use of the feet allows the therapist to apply more concentrated and sustained pressure than would be possible with the hands or arms. This deeper pressure can help to release deep tissue tension and adhesions.

Second, the use of gravity-assisted techniques allows the therapist to apply more pressure without having to use as much force. This makes the massage more comfortable for the client and also helps to prevent the therapist from getting tired.

Third, the vigorous nature of Ashiatsu massage helps to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage. This can help to flush toxins out of the body and reduce inflammation.
