Ashiatsu Immersion - Fundamentals & ROM/Stretch Therapy
Immersions aren't just longer trainings, they are a structured learning journey.
Each class is taught in its own container, back-to-back, so you can fully absorb the unique skills and concepts of Fundamentals, Intermediate, and/or ROM in sequence.
It’s perfect for students who retain better with focused, momentum-based learning. You stay in the groove, build confidence fast, and get a fuller picture of how each class fits into your barefoot massage practice.
If you prefer to learn in shorter sprints? Our single-class options are always available, too—ideal for spacing things out or integrating between levels. There’s no one-size-fits-all path, and we love that about this work.

💡🚨FYI: Immersions = one class at a time, stacked with intention.
This back to back Training is Fundamentals and Stretch Therapy.
FUNDAMENTALS: This class will teach you how to use your feet to provide a deep fascial approach to ashiatsu barefoot massage. This class focuses on techniques applied on posterior aspects of the client’s body, as your weight and natural gravitational forces are utilized to effortlessly maintain consistent pressure through your feet. While the work is focused primarily with the client prone, therapists will learn some supine work as well. (Later attendance in the Intermediate class is required to provide a detailed full body session.)
Fundamentals is the starting point for those wanting to train in the Myofascial Ashiatsu “FasciAshi” style of Barefoot Massage – although it’s a “beginner” class, it is definitely a challenge for your mind, body and SOLE! Review your bony landmarks, endangerment sites, and muscle pathways – as well as the anatomical terminology that goes along with all that! FasciAshi sessions use overhead support bars as well as our proprietary suspended Ashi-Strap to help regulate your pressure, flow and balance while the client lies on a massage table.
ROM/STRETCH THERAPY: With a focus on Active and Resisted Range of Motion techniques, this Stretch Therapy barefoot massage technique allows the Massage Therapist to stand on a massage table and maneuver clients’ limbs using the strong muscles of their legs and hips to steer and control client positioning and motion. We hold onto overhead bars and lean into our suspended support straps for balance and leverage as we lift, bend, and twist clients into assisted stretches while they activate their muscles as cued by the practitioner, adding resistance and dynamic stretch theory into the mix. Our approach to assisted stretching helps a practitioner effortlessly maintain consistent pressure and counterbalance while providing deep point holds, or long fascial stretches.
We also compress or restrict clients compensating body parts down into a neutral alignment while creating various ranges of motion throughout all major joints in the body. The Barefoot Massage Therapist can observe movement patterns and queue the client into resisted actions to help build joint stability, and encourage their interoceptive awareness during passive fascial stretching and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation.
We’ll be reviewing secure draping options while blending ROM into slow gliding, non-lubricated movements along the client’s skin. Can be adapted for more use of creme or provided with the client clothed. A full-body, (supine, side-lying and prone) 3-dimensional stretch sequence is taught.
