As part of the class, there will be a multiple choice test. We award certification in course, once the student completes the evaluation form.
Bamboossage® is a technique that incorporates bamboo and rattan. The sticks are of various lengths and diameters to provide deep-tissue work. We use heating pads to warm the Bamboossage ® toolsets. And then the student will apply warm tools to massage the contours of the body. Warm Bamboo massage is useful for both Swedish and deep tissue massage. Yes, you can exercise intense pressure without hurting yourself.
In fact, the tools do Trigger Point activation quite well. The heated Bamboossage tools promote circulation, sensory nerve perception, and lymphatic drainage. And it also provides a significant sense of relaxation and well-being.
Of course, we like to keep our time-honored tradition of hand-saving workshops. So this modality will give your hands and wrists a rest! The Bamboossage tool sets are easy to heat. And even easier to clean. We use antibacterial wipes, like WetOnes to clean each tool. We also use soap and water to remove all the oil. But be careful not to submerge the pieces in water. Please do not use household or hospital grade antibacterial wipes. These wipes will damage the finish.
What you’ll need to bring to class: one set of sheets for the table, including a face cradle cover.

Ashiatsu Bar Massage Training Class - St Louis, MO
2018-04-27 08:30 - 2018-04-28 19:00 (America/Indiana/Knox) | St Louis, MO, 42 Four Seasons Shopping Center, #111, Chesterfield, MO, 63017, United States
2-Day Class Incl: Digital Manual & Video · Bar Schematics · 20 CE · Free Ethics ·Certification · St Louis, MO · Register Here
Ahh…shiatsu® Bar Therapy 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.
USE OF BARS FOR BALANCE AND SUPPORT
NO HEIGHT OR WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS
PRESSURE IS CONSTANT AND EVENLY MAINTAINED
CREATES MORE CIRCULATION
THERAPIST FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE PERFORMED A DANCE INSTEAD OF A WORKOUT
THIS THERAPY IS A MORE BALANCED APPROACH TO MASSAGE
The first deep tissue of the day is as good as the last one. There is none of the usual pain associated with deep tissue massage for therapist or client. The therapist gains strength, knowledge, and grace. While at the same time adding diversity and vitality to their workday. So you can do more of what you love, forever.
