What is Ashi Thai?

Ashi-Thai is an expression of traditional Thai stretches that have been modified utilizing the overhead bar system and therapists’ body so no heavy lifting or bending occurs at the waist. This flowing and rhythmic approach to Thai massage is done on the massage table in stretchable exercise clothes such as Spandex by the receiver and the therapist. This barefoot massage technique uses deep compression effleurage strokes that glide over the body & the resulting movement may help relieve pain.
