When traditional massage isn’t quite enough.. Ashiatsu gets it. Have you tried it?

What I love about Ashiatsu Stretch Therapy is that it can be done as a single therapy by itself, or can be incorporated into a traditional barefoot massage session. The choice is really up to you. Customize your therapy and keep on moving 👣

Some must do work for the body will always be gluteal work. If you’re having back pain, hip pain or struggle with range of motion in the hips, releasing these muscles as well as the muscles beneath them (the muscles that control hip rotation) can help with that. Don’t like the idea of your therapist putting an elbow into those muscles? This is where Ashiatsu shines. The work you need with a broader presentation to the body allows your body to let go further. 🤌🏽👣

Never underestimate the value of a traditional stretch. Sometimes a little assistance is all you need to take it to the next level.

It’s been a minute since I have done an introduction of myself and my practice. So here we go!

My name is Sophia Renee (Phia Renee) Luera and am a practicing Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Lymphatic Drainage Therapist with emphasis in post surgical care in Salt Lake County, Utah. I have been practicing for 14~ years. I have worked in various settings doing massage therapy from luxury spas, ski resorts, gyms, hospice, and private practice.

My specialties include mental health and chronic pain management, which I’ve learned tend to go hand in hand. My approach is incorporating as many of our senses as possible from touch (not just massage but with textures, temperature, tools, etc) to sight, smell, and sound. This brings a sense of safety and allows for a grounded and deeply healing experience. 🙏🏽🧘🏽‍♀️😊

When I am not doing massage, I enjoy being outdoors. I love hiking, traveling, and exploring. I am also an avid life long student. I am usually taking on a new class to continue to improve my massage expertise and learn more about human anatomy and pathologies.

As always, I love to hear from my Clients and future Clients with questions, concerns, or inspiration for improvement. Be well my friends!

If you’ve had a massage and shied away from abdominal work, you could be missing out on some fantastic benefits. Our modern way of life leads to prolonged leaning forward and sitting causing shortened abdominal walls and chest muscles and don’t get me started on the neck. It doesn’t seem like a big deal but l if your back continuously hurts, your breathing quality is shallow, or if even if you’ve been under high amounts of stress and you’re just feeling it in your gut, don’t overlook abdominal work. In a nutshell, stand a little taller, breathe better, and improve digestion with the help of abdominal work. ☺️

If you think there is no time just sit and be with your thoughts, you may need solitude more than ever. Spending time free of outside influences and noise can free you up to bring in more creativity, perspective, and rejuvenation. It’s a time for exploration of self. Go for a walk, disconnect from the digital world, get a mean workout in, meditate, whatever you prefer, learn to love and appreciate the best company, yourself.
