Three Treasures licensed massage therapists are thrilled to offer a unique massage experience that includes deep compression and gliding techniques. Release tension and balance your systems through the ancient wisdom of meridians and pressure points. Various stretches from Yoga and Thai massage are integrated into Barefoot Shiatsu Massage to unlock and open the body for innate natural healing.
What is Barefoot Shiatsu?
Barefoot Shiatsu is a wonderful massage technique, where the energy flow of the whole body can find balance. The massage practitioner applies pressure and gliding techniques with the feet to stimulate the meridian flow, to release tension, and flush painful discomfort from tissues and muscles.
Applying compression and integrating the new gliding techniques with the feet allows depth as well as soothing and nourishment. Massaging with the feet while utilizing balance and body weight allows deep firm pressure without strain and offers four tools instead of two hands.
To use the feet as a massaging tool, the practitioner learns the art of balance. All the massage movements originate from the center of the body, also called “hara” from where we are connected to the universal energy. With this abundance and centered body alignment, it is delightful to receive and provide a uniquely trans-formative custom massage.
Using the Wisdom of the ‘Five Elements
The understanding of the ancient wisdom of the “Five Elements” related to our body, mind and spirit, helps the massage therapist to understand the relation of various pains, aches and weaknesses and can then balance the flow of the meridians to which the weakness is related.
