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!
