F A Q s | Massage By Melinda

What are they saying?

"I highly recommend Melinda for her intuitive touch and ability to work out all the kinks and knots (you'll definitely feel the work). She uses different modalities and each session is adapted to what you need then (not just some routine that she checks through). I've also noticed that I get the best results if I can see her fairly regularly, so she can build on previous sessions and really put in good work. I'd recommend her if you really want a true massage that works on problem areas with a focus on long term relief or if you're looking for a sports massage too! She's the best!"

What is Ashiatsu Massage?

Ashiatsu massage utilizes skilled footwork and deep, sustained strokes for a more intense and effective massage. By utilizing the practitioner's weight and gravity, along with overhead bars, the bare feet create deeper compression strokes that promote neuromuscular signaling and release tension. This technique achieves myofascial release and enhances structural alignment, offering a stronger pressure that you may have been missing.

Is deeper really always better?

Ashiatsu massage can be adjusted to accommodate varying levels of pressure, making it suitable for those seeking relaxation or with sensitivity. Bare feet are capable of achieving the same results as hands, providing precise pressure distribution without forcing muscle relaxation. Effective communication between the practitioner and client ensures the perfect amount of pressure is applied. Each session is customized to meet the recipient's specific needs, with the practitioner dedicated to fulfilling those requirements.
