Ashiatsu Massage in Apex, NC

Deep, flowing barefoot massage designed to relieve tension, support mobility, and help your body feel more open, grounded, and restored.

Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage

Deep Therapeutic Pressure for Tension Relief and Whole-Body Restoration

Ashiatsu is a therapeutic barefoot massage technique where the therapist uses their feet to deliver broad, consistent pressure across the body. This allows for deep work that can feel smooth, grounding, and supportive without the sharpness that can sometimes come from smaller points of pressure.

At Apex Retreat, Ashiatsu is used as part of a personalized bodywork approach to help release tension, support mobility, and encourage a deeper sense of relaxation. Your session is adjusted to your body, comfort level, and wellness goals.

What to Expect After Your Session

After an Ashiatsu massage, you may feel deeply relaxed, less tense, and more grounded in your body. Some clients notice improved movement, reduced tightness, or a lighter feeling through the back, hips, legs, and shoulders.

Because Ashiatsu can include deeper therapeutic pressure, your body may feel like it has been worked in a productive way. Drinking water, resting as needed, and giving your body time to respond can help support the benefits of your session.

Dean gives the best massages!! I used to regularly see him at a fancy spa and had a falling out with the spa. I wasted almost 2 years getting mediocre massages at other places and finally went to see him at his business in Apex. Wow! I am so relieved to have found him again. His pressure is fantastic and he does a great job of focusing on my problem areas while still doing a thorough full body massage. Don't hesitate to give him a try -- you won't be disappointed!

I’ve been going to Fernanda at Apex Retreat for 15 years and she never disappoints me. I love that she Taylor’s my appointments to my needs. She truly cares about me as an individual and it’s obvious she has a passion for her work. I also love that she gives me “homework” AKA Stretches between visits so that I can feel my best. Her professionalism, passion for her work, reliability and ambience, are all five stars. I highly recommend All of the therapists at Apex Retreat.

My massage therapist, Gail, was phenomenal. She used different methods to easy muscle tension and joint pain and the result was amazing, I feel renewed. Perfect pressure, loved the eucalyptus smell during the massage and the scrub she used on my back and feet after my massage; best 90 mins massage of my life. Highly recommend her.
