The fundamentals class spans three days and offers 24 continuing education credits recognized by AMTA, ABMP, and for state requirements. Participants gain practical experience through a structured learning environment where they practice techniques on fellow students, instructors, and volunteer patients. This approach ensures therapists develop confidence in their barefoot massage skills before implementing them with clients.
Ashiatsu barefoot massage differs from traditional deep tissue techniques by utilizing the feet instead of hands to deliver pressure. This approach allows therapists to provide effective deep tissue work while reducing strain on their hands, wrists, and arms. The center's teaching methodology focuses on developing intuitive foot control comparable to hand techniques, with special attention to pressure modulation and body mechanics.
The fundamentals class teaches therapists how to use overhead bars for balance and support while delivering precise pressure with their feet. Students learn proper body positioning, weight distribution, and foot placement to ensure client comfort and therapeutic effectiveness. The curriculum includes both posterior and anterior techniques, providing a complete treatment protocol.
The center has also announced availability in more advanced and specialty classes this fall. These include hot ashiatsu, which incorporates heated elements, and "fijian" style floor mat massage that can be performed without overhead support bars. These additional modalities give therapists more service options for their practice and can be particularly valuable for mobile therapists or those working at events.
The teaching team at Learn Barefoot Massage contributes over three decades of combined teaching and massage practice experience. As an NCBTMB-approved provider, the center ensures all training meets professional standards for continuing education. Their small class sizes allow for individualized attention and personalized feedback throughout the learning process.
