Free Motion Bodywork, Eugene

At Free Motion Bodywork, owner and massage therapist Lisa Lee uses her experience to administer Thai massages at her studio, where clients can experience the benefits of Thai, Ashi-Thai, or Ashiatsu massages. Thai massages incorporates compression, stretching, and tapotement with assisted stretches varying from gentle to deep, ideal for clients of any fitness level as they get to customize their experience depending on their preferences. During Ashiatsu massages, the therapist uses the broad surface of her foot to work deep into muscles during a full-body therapy applied to both the back and front of the body, with deep compression and gliding effleurage strokes. Benefits can include the elongation of the spine, relaxation and stretching of muscles, and the breaking down of scar tissue, which can increase range of motion and improve flexibility. Finally, Ashi-Thai massages incorporates aspects of both modalities, as the therapist uses both her legs and feet on the client, providing a full range of motion to administer muscle work.
