Looking for a deep tissue Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy massage in Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky? Due to a cancelled trip, I have some appointment slots available next week, July 5-10. Mention this blog at receive 15% off your massage (an hour or longer) July 5-10 ONLY.

This is the first time I've offered a discount like this, so make sure you take advantage of the opportunity. My schedule usually books up pretty quickly, so schedule your massage online ASAP!

Looking forward to seeing you for your next deep tissue massage. Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is, after all, "the deepest most luxurious massage on the planet!" And I've been told I give a great massage...

Does therapist size for Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy matter?

Not size or weight, per se, but it's more a matter of strength and flexibility. I've had 200 pound people in class who have been strong as a bull and did well, yet others who weigh 130 and have not enough strength to pull up their weight.

Can you get on and off a 24" and 29" stool with ease? Are you able to walk delicately on the massage table without disturbing your client?

Now, advanced ashiatsu, using 2 footed strokes, is another gig entirely. You do need to have both core and upper body strength to dismount gracefully off your client's triceps, QLs, etc. Two footed strokes are recommended for clients who weigh AT LEAST 50 or more pounds than you do. So if you're working on women most of the time, you don't even need to take the 2 footed advanced ashiatsu class.

I offer Deepfeet 2 (Advanced Ashiatsu) only once per year, and the next one is in August.

Looks as though my June Ashiatsu Barefoot Basics class is going to fill again. There are only 3 spots remaining for therapists to get their massage continuing education credits, and it's only April. You can sign up online here at www.affinitymassages.com if you want to learn how to do massage with your feet!

And on a side note, advanced ashiatsu class is beginning to fill for August. Again, you can sign up for that class online!

Finally, I seem to have the bug worked out for my payments online for our Barefoot Basics Ashiatsu class. You can register online for Barefoot Basics (all posterior work), Anterior/Side-lying, Ashi-Thai and Advanced Ashiatsu.

August is the only time this year I will be offering advanced Ashiatsu, and I've already had a few inquiries about the class.

Since summer is a slow time for many massage therapists, why not take advantage of that and learn some new strokes?

Running in the Flying Pig marathon? Try an ashiatsu barefoot massage or an Ashi-Thai stretching session afterwards! Both modalities are PERFECT for loosening up those tremendously tight muscles that marathoners have after running such long distances.

Hoping that it'll be a beautiful day for the run. Remember last year's run? It was a monsoon! I saw some really ugly feet after that one.
