Sometimes I didn't notice it was there at all until all at once it would seize up causing a severe crick in my neck. For years I would come out of massages feeling like nothing happened. I felt bad for the practitioner who was using elbows and brute force and getting nowhere near releasing what I was holding.
Our approach includes a blend of deep tissue techniques that are performed with the therapist's well-trained feet to achieve the highest possible results in a peaceful and nurturing environment. Ashiatsu therapeutic massage is unique to Austin Ashiatsu and combines techniques of deep tissue, trigger point therapy, shiatsu and myofascial release to undo tension and stress so that you can relax.
After receiving general ashiatsu training at Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy, we went on to develop our own unique approach to deep tissue massage using feet instead of hands. We call this style Ashiatsu Therapeutic Massage. Our method incorporates a variety of therapeutic massage techniques such as deep tissue, trigger point, active release, and myofascial release therapies.

Great massage today with Mandy. Excellent service, amazing pressure and overall enjoyable experience. She really got into my lower back and released a lot of pinned up tension. I feel great and my lower pain is gone. Will definitely schedule again soon!

Had a great massage with Andrea today! I love Ashiatsu, as is always mentioned, because it can give a deep tissue massage without the pain. Andrea was great about asking what areas to concentrate on and gave the best neck relief I have had with techniques I hadn’t experienced before!! The overall massage was excellent. Great rooms and atmosphere! I have already booked my next massage!

After a too long absence I returned to Austin Ashiatsu at their new location and wondered what took me so long to return. While in the interim I reverted to traditional deep tissue massage from various providers, I found what I have been missing and needed (kneeded). Mandy and Andrea have taken over the business from founder Cathy and all is well. Treat yourself to an unwinding and reinvigoration like no other as these providers are the best in the business!

Wow. That was the best massage of my life. I had never done Ashiatsu before but now I don't know if I could go back to other types of massage. I have mild scoliosis which can cause some pain/discomfort in my neck/shoulder area with lots of knots. She was attentive and great at listening to my needs/concerns and I can 100% feel the difference. The place is very clean and calming. I'm also getting married in 8 days and have had a bit of stress and now I feel like I'm walking on air!

Exceeded my expectations! I was referred by a colleague of mine and I am so glad I took the recommendation. It was THE best massage I have ever had..... (and I've had plenty)
Josephine was absolutely incredible! I expressed how I've been having back and neck pain due my job and the stressors that coming with sitting at a desk all day. She made sure to focus on those areas and even gave me some tips and exercises to implement in my day to day life. Not to mention, I tried cupping for the first time and loved it. She made the whole process extremely comfortable and relaxing. Definitely

Highly skilled practitioners, very therapeutic setting, great overall experience. Josephine and Mandy are usually my go to ladies. Josephine is extremely Intuitive and thoughtful about how she spends each session’s time. She’s a body whisperer. Mandy’s Skillfulness is apparent with each body part she touches. She may be small but her pressure is mighty. Both my boyfriend and I have benefited immensely from working with them. Thank you ladies ❤️!

Andrea provided literally the best massage I've ever had, by far. I've been to places all across the city for massages to help with pain and tightness from a car crash. This was the first place that I could feel incredible change and felt most of my knots go away. She didn't shy away from any of the nasty knots and was persistent without excessive pain. Very kind and amazing work. I'm so amazed and will definitely be back!

This weekend I had an appointment with Austin Ashiatsu for a 90 minute Ashiatsu massage. The therapist I chose was Laura and I was not disappointed. Very professional, knowledgeable, thorough and caring. The reception area and especially the therapy room were very comfortable and created a very soothing atmosphere. I am a believer in Ashiatsu and completely enjoyed the services I received. Thanks so much and I hope to return soon. Louie S.

Best DEEP and accurate treatment massage in the city. Hands down. I'm a Bodyworker of nearly 18 years myself, and i freaking know great bodywork. This place is leaps and bounds above the rest. I'd pay $400/hr for that sideline neck work (it's not that price, I'm just saying that is how freaking good it is) Life saving/career saving bodywork they do here.

After many years of seeing typical massage therapists and having mostly positive experiences, with only a few negative, I can confidently say that receiving an ashiatsu massage has blown all other positive experiences out of the water. I had the fortune to have Josephine take care of me today (3/20/21) and her calm demeanor and attention to relaxation already had me more relaxed before she even touched me.
The broad and long strokes that are achieved via ashiatsu are exactly what my back was craving. Josephine was also able to find some spots that I wasn't even aware were screaming for

If I could give this place a thousand stars I really would. I have been coming here for about 6 months, almost every 2-4 weeks with Josephine, and every time I walk out thinking that was the best massage I have ever had in my life. She is incredibly intuitive and always seems to find my sore spots. She listens too and knows when I need relaxation versus therapeutic massage or even throwing some cupping in the mix. The space is wonderfully healing with incredible music. I love this place so much.

I visited austin Ashiatsu after a Yelp search and I am so glad I found this place. I have had many massages - everything from Thai, deep tissue, Swedish, Chinese, hot stone, etc at various ends of the spa spectrum. Without a doubt this was the most beneficial massage I have received. I carry all of my tension in my neck, shoulders and upper back & often leave massages feeling relaxed but not truly helped. After my massage today I can honestly say the tension is gone & I feel significantly better. If you are looking to relieve your tension I highly recommend a therapeutic massage at Ashiatsu

I cannot recommend Austin Ashiatsu enough. It is such an incredible experience. I suffer from back pain due to scoliosis and this really does the trick to help ease the tension. Mandy has been amazing every time, consulting with me prior to the start of the massage to determine what I'm looking to work on. She is communicative and creates space to provide feedback during the appointment. She seems to intuitively know what areas need attention. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment :)

Wow I can't even begin to tell you how amazing my experience was. Walking in the place smelled great, felt cozy(I love the hanging lights), and I loved walking around barefoot. Josephine was my massage therapist. I've gotten probably close to 30 massages in the past few years and she was by far the BEST. I love deep tissue with tigger point and constant deep pressure throughout. That's exactly what I got! She was really good at checking in about pressure and making sure I was cozy. The only thing I could think about during the massage was how many people I wanna send her way. She

I visited yesterday for an appointment with Josephine. She is fabulous. Her energy is calming and her approach is strong without brute force. I never fall asleep in a massage, especially not with someone's feet on my back, but I did yesterday. Fell asleep for about half of the massage. Her thoughtful feedback on what she felt while working was so valuable. I've seen a few therapists at Austin Ashiatsu and Josephine is easily my new fave. The pandemic protocol of the place was impressive. I called before entering. My temperature was taken before entering the room. I was the only one in

Hands down, best massage in Austin. I've been going here for several years and can't imagine getting a massage anywhere else. Mandy is amazing. Good energy, clean and cozy space. Ashiatsu massage is unparalleled. I have chronic neck and shoulder tension and tightness. The massage is both relaxing and therapeutic, productive. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

The best massage there ever was. I've been going here for over a year now, a real long-term relationship, and I hope this relationship will never end.
The place itself is super cute and clean, very cozy and chill boho vibes. Exactly the atmosphere you want going into a massage. The receptionist is always friendly and helpful. And Mandy--a massage queen. She listens well and works with me to give me exactly what I need. I typically do a therapeutic massage and cupping. She is adept at finding where my body needs some care and works the muscles out. Totally strips your muscles. I always leave

I brought my best friend here for birthday massages yesterday and boy oh boy, was it awesome! Everything about Austin Ashiatsu is wonderful--from the really reasonable pricing to the ambiance to the skills of the massage therapists, everything was top notch. It was the deepest and best massage either of us has ever gotten and now we won't go anywhere else for our massages! Cannot recommend this place enough for relaxing and RESULTS!

Every once in a while I try out another studio and promptly after feel like I've cheated on the podiatric prowess promoted by Austin Ashiatsu. When I then return to have my work done there, I am quickly reminded of the power and precision promulgated by their therapists. I would recommend AA to anyone in need of some tootsie therapy, but if you need deep tissue work exacted upon roughed up muscles, you'll be hard pressed to find anywhere better. I have recently been seeing Katie and if you're looking for a first-rate foot force, book it now! Treat yo'self!

I woke up this morning with the 3rd migraine I've had in 2 months. Miserable and not wanting to be down for the count for 2 days (like I was like time) I searched "massage therapy near me" into a google search and Austin Ashiatsu has the most reviews and highest rating. After giving them a call and telling the Natalie, the front desk woman, about my headaches and wanting to feel any kind of relief she quickly and calming suggested some times for me to come into.
As I write this message (the same day I came here) I feel blissful. I feel as though I have been unwound.

I have had 3 massages at Austin Ashiatsu no and I've loved each of my experiences.
If you're a fan of deep tissue massages you can't get any better than this. As a big guy who needs deep tissue to relieve any of the stress in my back and shoulders, this is by far the best massage our there.
The office is small and pleasant, everyone is very cordial and things are efficient. My therapist will sit down with me and take a minute to understand what's going on and where I need the most work, and then the massage is incredibly focused and tailored to what we discussed.

Why have I never tried Ashiatsu massage before? It was simply the best massage I have ever had. I had been feeling "broken" from some of my workouts lately and needed a deep tissue massage. I had the 90 minute massage with cupping and left feeling like a million bucks. Seriously, I felt like I could tackle the rest of my day and the year for that matter. I already booked my next appointment. Pleasant atmosphere and conveniently located on the Eastside near my neighborhood. Go see Mandy. She is wonderful!
