Fundamentals

3 Days | 24 CE’s | Last Day to Sign Up: Tuesday, September 8th

Prerequisites: Must currently be a Licensed Massage Therapist legally eligible to provide paid, professional therapeutic massage therapy services to the public in accordance with the laws in their state.

This class will teach you how to use your feet to provide a deep fascial approach to ashiatsu barefoot massage. This class focuses on techniques applied on posterior aspects of the client’s body, as your weight and natural gravitational forces are utilized to effortlessly maintain consistent pressure through your feet. While the work is focused primarily with the client prone, therapists will learn some supine work as well.

Fundamentals is the starting point for those wanting to train in the Myofascial Ashiatsu “FasciAshi” style of Barefoot Massage – although it’s a “beginner” class, it is definitely a challenge for your mind, body and SOLE! Review your bony landmarks, endangerment sites, and muscle pathways – as well as the anatomical terminology that goes along with all that! FasciAshi sessions use overhead support bars as well as our proprietary suspended Ashi-Strap to help regulate your pressure, flow and balance while the client lies on a massage table.
