Mashing is a form of body work that compresses muscle, deep tissue, and fascia with foot pressure. This method helps loosen up muscles, flush toxins, and breaks down scar tissue that inhibits full muscle flexibility. It effects myofascial tissue as well as blood flow and will aid muscles to stretch more effectively. This technique is similar to what has been practiced in the East for more than 38 generations. The client, dressed in workout clothing, lies on a mat for this energizing and relaxing treatment.
