Best deep tissue barefoot massage in Cincinnati!

Traditional massage techniques often fall short in providing a truly therapeutic and healing experience. Clients either find themselves gritting their teeth when the therapist digs in with a sharp elbow

or asking-but not getting-deep enough pressure.

They're often left wanting more, feeling that there must be a better way to receive a massage that combines both relaxation and deep therapeutic bodywork.

Introducing Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage - a revolutionary approach to massage that offers a better way to give and receive a massage.

Listen to what my clients are saying:

"One of the best deep massages you can get anywhere. Other “deep” massages just can’t get deep enough for some of the knots that build up in my back but Mary-Claire can. Well worth the trip." Anthony B

Barefoot massage vs Hands-on : why is it worth trying?

What are the benefits of barefoot massage?

1. Deep pressure: The use of feet allows therapists to apply deeper, broader pressure compared to traditional hand techniques.  Hate pokey fingers and elbows but love deep tissue? Then it's for you!

This can be particularly effective for:
   - Relieving chronic muscle tension
   - Addressing knots in larger muscle groups like the back, glutes, and thighs

I can give about 4x the amount of pressure with one foot than I can with a thumb. More importantly, because the surface of the foot is broad, ashiatsu barefoot massage actually feels good.

2. Even distribution of pressure: The broader surface area of the foot can distribute pressure more evenly, potentially reducing discomfort while still providing an intense massage. So it's deep but comfy.

3. Increased circulation: The deep, broad strokes can help improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage.

4. Stress relief: Like other forms of massage, it can help reduce stress and promote relaxation. Clients who wear their Oura rings during massage notice "restful sleep" during their barefoot massage sessions.

5. Spinal decompression: The long, gliding strokes along the spine may help create space between vertebrae, potentially alleviating some types of back pain.

I'm not allowed to "crack" you on purpose. But sometimes it happens spontaneously.

6. Increased range of motion: The deep work on muscles and fascia can help improve flexibility and range of motion.

7. Efficiency: I can cover larger areas more quickly, potentially leading to a more thorough full-body massage in less time.

8. Less strain on the me, the therapist: By using their body weight and gravity, I experience less hand and wrist strain compared to traditional massage techniques. This means I can massage for years and years, day after day and not tire out like a traditional hands-on therapist might.

9. Unique sensation: Some clients enjoy the novel feeling of foot pressure, finding it soothing or invigorating in ways that differ from hand-based massage.

The barefoot massage strokes are long, slow, and can be as deep as you need.

10. Customizable pressure:  as a skilled barefoot massage practitioner and instructor of the modality, I can easily adjust the pressure by shifting my body weight on or off you as needed. This allows for a highly personalized experience.

Is barefoot massage for everyone?

Nope. It's contraindicated for certain medical situations like osteoporosis, active cancer treatment, recent surgeries and more. That's why I send out an intake form prior to massage. Filling it out TRUTHFULLY allows me to modify the massage as needed or refrer you to another talented massage therapist in Cincinnati. 

I'm always happy to answer questions about baretoot massage!
