Austin Ashiatsu (CLOSED)

Austin Ashiatsu (“foot pressure”) is one of the city’s best kept secrets. Balancing themselves and distributing pressure by holding onto ceiling-mounted bars, the therapists literally “iron out” muscle fibers from end to end, a processes that helps release toxins and allows for fresh blood to enter and rejuvenate the tissue. If you have muscle tension from sports injuries or being hunched over a desk every day, this technique is highly beneficial. Austin Ashiatsu is the only local spa offering couples’ massages. Following in the vein of Eastern practices, they also practice cupping, in which small glass cups are placed on muscles and suctioned.
