We want you to massage intuitively with your feet, just like you do your hands. In order for you to trust your feet and naturally during a session, you need to feel confident in why, how and when you may use what stroke where! FasciAshi offers detailed technique combined with education on the theories as to WHY you would apply each stroke and who they are most effective for. That way you can create a comprehensive barefoot massage session catered to each client.

Our focus is on exploration of how to engage tissue within each stroke using theories of myofascial release, trigger point, deep tissue and stretch therapy techniques… it all just happens to be applied by your feet rather than hands!

Give it weight, then wait is a pretty heavy theory that we’ve found to be important within our barefoot massage approach to impact the Neuromyofascial web. Working with fascial integration, navigating the contours of muscle and bone while applying broad, consistent pressure on varying angles, “FasciAshi” aims to address the body as a functional whole. The further you get into our courses and specialty track classes, the more you’ll see the importance of sustained pressure and anatomical specificity to best impact your clients interoception.

That’s our Jam. If you nerd out on anatomy and use that knowledge to inform every massage you do, then The Center for Barefoot Massage is your tribe! Join us in a class!
