Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a dynamic technique that stretches muscles, tendons, and fascia specific to anatomical planes of movement. It remodels the body using gentle, rhythmic movements that avoid triggering the myotactic reflex, which causes a contraction in the tissues being stretched. Utilizing the principles developed by Aaron Mattes, this unique stretching modality restores joint mobility, reduces muscular/fascial tension and improves circulation. The simple yet profound difference is holding the stretch for only 2 seconds. Repeated, active muscle contractions along with gentle stretches create a venous/lymphatic pump, decreasing inflammation and combating disease. Dysfunctional movement patterns are exposed and retrained; unfavorable postural habits shift.
In this basic level class you will identify the physiology behind AIS and use the techniques to stretch yourself and assist your clients. Evaluate range and quality of movement before and after stretching and apply the techniques to treat a wide variety of disorders in the extremities. Course content is geared towards healthcare professionals and athletic trainers.
The Lower Extremities portion of the class addresses plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Morton’s Neuroma, hammered toes, and bunions.
This class completes one of the requirements for gaining basic AIS level certification with AIS Northwest.
Please bring massage linens. Free electronic access to the instructional manual. A handout of the stretches covered in class will be provided.

Ashiatsu Bar Massage Training Class - New London, WI
2018-04-21 08:30 - 2018-04-22 19:00 (America/Indiana/Knox) | New London, WI, 320 South Pearl Street, New London, WI, 54961, United States
2-Day Class Incl: Digital Manual & Video · Bar Schematics · 20 CE · Free Ethics ·Certification · New London WI ·
Ahh…shiatsu® Bar massage is a trademarked form of Ashiatsu Bar Therapy. We base this barefoot wonder on an ancient Ayurvedic practice of Chavutti Thirummal. In addition, our training classes and seminars combine Swedish, Myofascial, and compression techniques. The massage therapist applies their feet to the body of the client. Thereby, giving the hands and thumbs a rest.
Ashiatsu is an art, where the feet glide over the contours of the client’s body. The pressure can be as light as a Swedish massage or the deepest massage a therapist can give. We change and adjust our course program to fit your needs. The workshop focuses on the hands-on technique of Ashiatsu. Also, we do not claim that we own massage or invented it. Likewise, massage therapists are creative, intelligent, independent free-spirited thinkers. So we want to keep it that way. The Barefoot Masters® is the largest barefoot massage provider in the country.
WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM STAND OUT?
The overhead or floor Barefoot Bars are for balance and support. You do not have to have a lot of upper body strength to perform Ashiatsu. Furthermore, there are no height or weight restrictions. The massage table must sustain both the weight of the client and the therapist. Ashiatsu treatments are a more efficient application of deep tissue massage.
The pressure is constant and maintained. Barefoot massage creates circulation. More circulation brings about faster healing. Ashiatsu brings about a relaxed state. In fact, this state of well-being lasts for hours after a massage service. Clients don’t walk out of a session – they float.

This professional communication and ethics course focuses on connecting to a greater awareness of intention, presence, and focus. Observing the internal landscape with attention at the quiet still level of the mind cultivates an intuitive awareness of personal patterns. Through relaxed focus and deep sensorial listening a heightened self-intelligence informs a greater understanding of your intuitive signals when internal ethical conflicts arise. This level of internal understanding is an invaluable awareness to recognize external conflicts, your personal reactions, and strategies throughout the entire conflict resolution process. Research-based mindfulness tools such as meditation, breath awareness, and somatic movement have been shown to positively affect autonomic physiological processes. Awareness of the qualities of contact, presence, mindfulness, and self-awareness leads to a transformative care-giver/care-receiver relationship. Mindful engagement with the present moment benefits you and the care-receivers you work with.

Are you leaving work in pain? As massage therapists, we educate our clients and assist them in identifying postural stressors that are contributory to their pain and dysfunction. This course is your opportunity to identify your postural stresses and pain contributors. Body mechanics is defined as: the application of kinesiology to the use of proper body movement in daily activities, to the prevention and correction of problems associated with posture, and to the enhancement of coordination and endurance. Longevity of a massage therapist’s career is dependent on the efficiency, fluidity and ease of movement around the table and in the execution of massage techniques. Let’s face it, massage therapy is a very physical profession and there is a high instance of provider injury. We will explore strategies to eliminate your thumb dependency and abuse, reduce job-related wrist, shoulder and back pain. The main focus of this class is individualized table-side attention to identify and bring awareness to your personal patterns and postural stressors. Together we will work on alterations to bring comfort, ease and fluidity to your movement!
Prerequisites: This course is open to massage therapists who wish to learn more on the topic.
Please Bring: Massage Therapists: 1 set of sheets, a large bath towel, unscented lotion/cream, a yoga mat or large blanke
