Canyon Ranch in Tucson and Lenox offer the wonderful Ashiatsu Deep Barefoot Massage, a relatively new form of the ancient art of Ashiatsu (ashi meaning foot and atsu meaning pressure). The distinctive techniques of Thailand, China, India and the West combine to make this massage unique.

Holding onto bars attached to the ceiling to allow just the right amount of balance and pressure, therapists use foot strokes to apply flowing, deep pressure on strategic points along the spine and legs.
