What you will learn

Dipping your toes in the water could be the game changer you have been waiting for to reinvent and continue to love what you do without sacrificing your health and well-being.

“ASHI” means foot and “ATSU” is pressure in Japanese. This introduction class to Ashiatsu massage will allow you to experience using Ashi Travel Bars. Learning Ashiatsu will not only enhance your wealth of experience in massage and bodywork, but most importantly it will prevent repetitive stress injuries on your body from working with physically challenging clients. Best of all, your clients will love you more for it. In this class you will;

– Understand barefoot techniques, proper body mechanics, SAFE execution of strokes, and specific techniques.
– Broaden your knowledge of diverse barefoot massage techniques.
– Learn a 45-minute protocol of barefoot techniques applying warm-up strokes such as effleurage, petrissage, and compression, as well as focused techniques such as cross-fiber friction, positional release, trigger point therapy, and stretching.
– Learn contraindications specific to deep tissue and Ashiatsu methods and how to communicate effectively with your clients during the treatment.
– Learn to work “smart, not hard,” to provide deep tissue massage techniques.
