Advanced FasciAshi (Myofascial Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage)

This advanced-level class empowers the experienced myofascial ashiatsu barefoot massage therapist to work with more complex single and double footed strokes, potentially applying their full body weight as “kneaded.”  We use the bones as levers to manipulate and release muscle tension, especially in areas like the deep intrinsic spinal muscles.

Strokes are performed with the client in Prone, Anterior and Sidelying positions, while the therapist massages from varying angles of pressure to achieve a safe, deep, fascial barefoot massage session focusing on structural alignment.

Learn how to vary your stroke intentions as you choose to use your feet working bilaterally, unilaterally, contralaterally, simultaneously, in sync and out of sync, independently or in succession in the Advanced class. Work bilaterally from head to toe on the right client. No two massages are the same and the possibilities for using these techniques on your existing client based are endless!

Prerequisite: FasciAshi Intermediate. Starting in 2026 both FasciAshi Fundamentals + FasciAshi Intermediate are required
