Space left in Bamboo-fusion class

There's still time to sign up for our 2 day Bamboo-fusion class in Cincinnati scheduled for next week. What better way to treat your clients to a luxurious massage than by using warm bamboo? It heats up in a jiffy and is sooo easy to clean!

Massage with heat

Heat is a great thing to make people relax during massage. It's perfect for chronic pain. As long as they don't have any contraindications, your client typically loosens up more quickly when a nice, soothing heat is used during the massage.

And that, my friends, is why I do Bamboo-fusion massage. We have 4 spaces left in our class next month. You can sign up online at www.affinitymassages.com/bamboo_classes.

Worker's Comp, Injuries

I will soon be accepting worker's comp claims and patients for motor vehicle injuries for massage at my office. Now I just need to decide what office program to use!

Working out before Ashiatsu class.

In our Barefoot Basics class, therapists use a lot of muscles that sometimes they've forgotten they have! Before taking class, make sure you work on your core strength as well as your legs. And stretch those adductors and hip flexors. You won't be sorry!

Ashiatsu and working out

I started the super intense P90X workout program the other day. I am pretty sure that my oncoming additional arm and leg strength will be an added benefit to those clients of mine who want reaaaly deep work.

Don't get me wrong--ashiatsu is waaay deeper than most any other hands on technique. But by increasing my leg strength, I'll really be able to ramp it up. Wanna learn Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy? Register online at http://www.massageclasses.info/.

Need to warm up your massage clients?

Although the weather here in Cincinnati is not particularly cold, it is damp and drizzly. Boy, would I like to have a warm bamboo-fusion massage right now!

The bamboo tools are heated in a commerical heating pad so they're nice and toasty on your client's skin (of course, you should always check in with the temperatures). Luxurious, deep, warm and yummy. Those are some of the descriptive words I've heard about the bamboo massage during a session.

Ashiatsu sports massage

Although Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy's saying is "the deepest most luxurious massage on the planet," the technique can also be translated into sports massage. I know a couple of massage therapists who used to take Ashiatsu portable bars to GOBA, the Great Ohio Bike Adventure.

For a week each year, the cyclists would travel for miles and miles each day, setting up camp at fairgrounds, etc. each night. A group of sports massage therapists would travel as well and have  massage tent set up for the sports enthusiasts. Sometimes there would be a line of clients waiting for the Ashiatsu therapist to finish up the person on the table so that they'd have their chance. The other massage therapists sometimes during this time had no one on the table.

The cyclist clients loved the Ashiatsu for a post-event massage. An arch of the foot feels awesome on the back of the hamstrings, the heel of the foot fits perfectly into those quatratus lumborums! Check out http://www.affinitymassages.com/ for more information about the classes!
