Data from the American Massage Therapy Association shows Ashiatsu has gained popularity as a technique in recent years, in part due to the simple fact that it can help extend a massage therapist's career.
"Many deep-tissue methods can cause physical strain on a therapist's hands, wrists, and body which can contribute to injury and professional burnout," explains a spokesperson for Learn Barefoot Massage. "In fact, many massage therapists must transition to other lines of work after only 6 years due to physical strain and tissue damage."
With Barefoot MassaAshiatsu, however, therapists use their feet and body weight to deliver deep, consistent pressure. Overhead bars are used for balance, which reduces physical effort and promotes career longevity.
For clients, the technique has been shown to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. The foot's broad surface provides a deep, gliding pressure which clients may find more comfortable than the pointed pressure from elbows or thumbs.
The latest training courses from Learn Barefoot Massage focus on practical, in-person instruction for safety and efficacy, with hands-on (or "foot-on") exercises that include students working on each other, the instructor, and guest clients who provide feedback. This approach facilitates direct knowledge of body mechanics and pressure application. Participants learn both how to perform the technique and how it feels to receive it, an experience not available in online-only training.
Upon course completion, LMTs earn CE credits, which can be applied toward continuing education requirements for organizations like AMTA and ABMP. They also apply to state licensing board requirements nationwide.
The introductory 'Fundamentals' course is a 3-day class that provides 24 CE hours and equips therapists with the skills needed to provide a full session, a foundational training covering safe body mechanics, bar construction, and marketing strategies. Therapists will learn to use their feet with the same sensitivity they use with their hands in order to provide a more therapeutic massage experience for patient and practitioner alike.
Learn Barefoot Massage is an approved provider with the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). The organization's educational approach focuses on intentional and intuitive application, moving beyond standardized routines.
