AMTA National Convention

Heading to Orlando for the AMTA National Convention next week? Stop by the Bamboo-fusion booth for a free demo. Check out the bamboo-fusion tools. They're very well made.

My next class in Cincinnati is October 5-6, and I do have some space left. You can sign up online.

Advanced ashiatsu classes

I still have a couple of spaces left in our Advanced Ashiatsu deepfeet 2 class here in Cincinnati in October. You must be a certified grad of Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy in order to take the classes.

Class schedule is posted on www.affinitymassages.com.

Ashi-Thai demo

Doing Ashi-Thai demonstration at lunchtime for the Ashiatsu therapists today. We're on day 4. They're getting a little tired! But a good "wow, I've worked out!" tired...

They can take advanced ashiatsu classes in October. Register online at www.affinitymassages.com/register_now1.

Ashi-Thai video on my website

Interested in finding out a little bit about Ashi-Thai? Check out my website.

I also have short clips about Ashiatsu and Bamboo-fusion there.

Bring camera to class!

If you're taking any of my massage therapy CEU classes, make sure you bring your camera! I'll be happy to take photos of you working.

I used to do PR photography for my college, so I can do a pretty decent job most of the time. Whether it's Ashiatsu, Ashi-Thai or Bamboo-fusion massage class, the pictures can be of great value in your marketing.

You know, that old adage: a picture is worth a thousand words...

Ashi-Thai classes

As an authorized instructor for Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy, I now also have permission to teach Ashi-Thai. Ashi-Thai is similar to traditional Thai massage in that the client remains fully clothed, and the therapist uses no oil or cream.

However, what's not typical of this type of barefoot massage is that the therapist also stands on the massage table (you'll find this in some modalities, but it's newer than traditional Thai) and uses overhead bars for balance and support. The massage therapist uses primarily leg strength to move the client into various positions. Ideally, she or he will also avoid bending at the waist, thereby preventing repetitive movement injuries on the back.
