Sore Spots Massage Therapy

Sore Spots Massage Therapy is dedicated to both the art and science of massage therapy. We believe in the therapeutic benefit of massage therapy as a means to prevent injury, heal, & relax. It is our mission to address equally the art as well as the science of a great massage therapy experience. We are also the premier massage therapy studio in the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia to specialize in the application of Ashiatsu therapy. Ashiatsu means “foot pressure”. Barefoot massage also has many other names depending on its country of origin. A fusion of several traditional forms of barefoot massage adapted to North American standards has been created and continues to evolve. Ashiatsu has only recently become recognized in Canada as a Registered Massage Therapy modality. Ashiatsu is a type of massage therapy in which the practitioner balances themselves from parallel bars mounted above the table and massages the patient with her feet. Strokes are compressive, broad, consistent and flowing; giving the sensation of being massaged by very large hands. Using the feet enables the therapist to deliver varying therapeutic levels of pressure, leaving tissues feeling invigorated, yet deeply relaxed. Excellent for deep tissue work. We recommended: 60-90 minute session although shorter sessions may be arranged for specific work.
