Ashi-Africa is proud to offer the first course in Barefoot Massage in South Africa.
Our mission is to create an interesting and intensive learning environment for every therapist that we train. We will teach you a modality that is dedicated to the preservation of the body-worker. Ashi-Africa Barefoot Massage will change the way you massage forever, whilst taking all the strain off your back, hands and wrists.
The sought-after modality will also add diversity to your practice, thereby increasing your income as more and more of your clients take advantage of the most luxurious, deepest, massage.
Benefits for the therapist
Therapists feel like they have performed a dance instead of a work-out. Because of the absence of strain on the wrists, hands and back, the first deep-tissue massage of the day is a beneficial to the client as the last one. With your body-weight doing the work, not your hands, therapist burn-out is reduced. There is a healthy pull on the joints that strengthen the joints, instead of a pushing and compressing effect.
Barefoot Massage opens up the spine, and allows elongation of the vertebrae, which allows the therapist to have many more trouble-free years, benefiting from never again having to bend to give deep compression.
Weight-loss takes place due to the isometric nature of the massage movements... you will be burning a lot of energy and fat.
Who can do this course?
Any qualified body-workers e.g. Physical therapist, occupational therapists, or anyone else who does body-work, e.g. personal training, yoga instructors & Swedish massage therapists, can take this course.
You do not have to have a lot of upper body strength. There are no height or weight restrictions as long as the massage table can sustain both the weight of the client and the therapist.
We do insist that you have a higher than average understanding of anatomy and physiology if you are not a massage practitioner.
