"Footloose" himself, all Ashi-fied & Footloose after his Ashiatsu
session:
So you've got great Ashiatsu gig going on, and your clients love you. They swear you give a massage better than any other massage therapist in town. So why would you want to mess it up and change it a little?
Because you can stretch them out too! Many of my clients now receive Ashi-Thai stretches encorporated into their regular Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy session. Those who are in sports (or wannabees) can improve flexibility the easy way--let you do it! All stretches are done to the client's comfort, so how much you Gumby-fy them is up to them!
Originally added to our program as a stand alone or add-on treatment, with the client fully clothed (no hassle--no oil, no undressing), many Ashi therapists are now carefully draping and adding in both anterior and posterior strokes during their AOBT session.
Here's part of a review from a massage therapist client of mine:
"I have to say this was the best massage I have had and I am going to have to make the drive and put this down in my schedule for a regular part of a healthy life style. I had not idea how tight and tense I was and how much better I feel today after having received my massage with Ashi AND Thai all seamlessly put together."
Classes are found throughout the United States on a regular basis! Check in with any permanent training facility (Sacramento, Las Vegas, Denver, San Antonio, Dallas, Battle Creek, Cincinnati, Phoenix, Wilmington, St. Petersburg) to see how you can add a little bling to your massage thing.
