anyone know of any great places for ashiatsu massage? we used to have lots in USA, but nowdays it's been extinct... i was wondering if any of you know any good places for just ashiatsu massage.. its where u lay down on th bed and the girl stands up using poles and using her feet to massage u.. it's really relaxing..

plus anyone know of any good foot massage? i go to www.jollyfoot.com in jordan.. it's ok.. i guess...

What's an ashistsu massage ????

He means shiatsu - Japanese finger pressure massage (指圧)

Ohhhh ... should have realized  
thanks

All veggie saunas gives a variation of this type of massage.
In fact, most tend to give finger pressure as well as elbow pressure, they also walk on you.

Usually the better girls primarily uses her thumb and palm, but in any sauna there'll only
be a few of them.

Foot massage places - they are all over the place just look for signs with a foot
most of these places are OK.

well ... shiatsu and ashiatsu are completely different..
shiatsu uses elbows, fingers.. etc... pressure points

while ashiatsu is a chick.. usually who walks on ur legs, feet, thighs, back... etc using her feet to massage u.. to keep her balance, she hold on poles..  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3qAEcpFfwA)
thats a sample vid..
now there's some thing called stomping where people stomp on a guy.. for cash.. now thats completely different from ashiatsu.

and in reply to twice a week...
depends on foot massage places.. i was hoping someone would know some really good ones.. the few that i have been to... sucked.. girl didnt massage it right.. it was half-assed.. neways.. if any of you know of really good quality foot massage places.. let me know.. ill be in hong kong next week... i dont intend to get any in singapore tmmrw.. so... let me know!!!

News to me. What you describe used to be known as 'barefoot shiatsu'. But a Google search does indeed bring up hits on ashiatsu.

i see... well maybe in japan and here in the U.S. we call it ashiatsu.. so hmm i guess ill try browsing thru the spas in search of ashiatsu masseuse.

ashiatsu （足圧）　is foot massage where the girl uses her feet to walk all over your body. My guess is that certain massage shops in HK must provide this service.

If its a back walk you want then all girls in veggie saunas will provide this.
Infact for something like this the older more experienced girls would be better.

On HK side the veggie saunas you should try:

Shanghai 30's health Club  tel 2503 3888
Oriental Palm Spring Sauna Spa  tel 2116 1000
Royal Sauna Spa   tel 2111 8899

Go to one of these saunas and tell the manager that you want someone good to walk on your back !
In my experience the older girl the better the back walk so don't be surprised they give you a 50+ year old !

As in all veggie saunas you are expected to tip the girl if you feel she did a good job. Rule of thumb is $100 for every
hour she's serviced you (in HK, a 1 hour massage is actually 45 mins - this is standard for all saunas).

DO NOT go to China for a back walk, as it takes years of training. A friend did this and came back to HK for treatment
to his spine.


For a foot massage there is one girl in Oriental Palm that gives great foot massages as you sit in their lounge,
be sure to book her when you arrive as she's always busy.
