Experience deep relaxation and a stimulated lymphatic system with effects of three massages in one setting! Bars overhead are used for support and balance to ensure every touch is tailored to your needs!

AOBT Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is a wonderful modality of Massage that after a few treatments help improve posture, movement, relieve pain, and create well being while applying a deep pressure with the broad area of the foot for a more comforting sensation!

Like any modality in massage or even exercise and stretching, there is a pressure scale, where we like to have good tension but not any pain! The scale is as follows:

0-2 Was that a butterfly that landed on me?
3-5 starting to get yummy
6-7 absolutely delicious
8 hurts so good would not want anymore
9 yikes. . . . Forget the tip
10 hit the road jack don't want to come back no moe no moe no moe no moe!

This technique is a deep relaxing treatment. The therapist's bodyweight is used to press and relax the muscles. The Massage is done mainly with the heel and lateral plantar surface of the foot. However the rest of the foot is also used. A good AOBT therapist needs coordination, balance and a slow, smooth, relaxed manner. A soft foot with relaxed toes is the best tool for this style of effleurage movements. Myofascial work is slower and better; slower, less oil, more drag and more effect on deeper layers of muscle.

AOBT compression movements along the paraspinals and the lumbar region can relieve muscle spasms and open the intervertebral foramen. It will give the nerves more space (if the pain is being caused by the pressure on the nerves). It will also increase circulation by bringing more fresh oxygenated blood to the area being treated. Many of the AOBT movements help to elongate the spine. These movements dramatically stretch the shortened muscles, relieving muscular discomfort. These movements help the bodies’ lymphatic system release toxins and a very high rate, which is why clients may feel a bit unstable after a session. It is said to be three times more effective than a basic massage.

The biggest benefit of the AOBT technique is that after a few treatments it will help improve the clients posture and movement while relieving pain, improve body function and creating a state of well being.

Ashi Therapists have been NCBTMB approved providers since 1995

Case studies on the founder’s clients between the years of 1992 to 1996 found her technique to be successful with amazing results in the release of chronic inflammation. The average number of visits to maximum improvement was one every two weeks for six weeks, or three visits. Many orthopedic and chiropractic physicians not only endorse this technique but are regular clients of our graduates and instructors across the country.

With Ashiatsu, the therapist uses long deep strokes with the feet covering much more territory and avoiding the use of small repetitive movements.

Benefits of Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy (AOBT) / Deep Feet Bar Therapy:

The feet are more comfortable than pointy elbows and thumbs; it's not painful
The broad surfaces of the feet enable the client to relax into the strokes. It's known to induce deep relaxation quickly.
Gravity enables the pressure to be deeper than with hands-on
Ashiatsu increases circulation quickly
It's both luxurious and therapeutic at the same time.
AOBT is especially beneficial as it warms up the larger muscle groups.
Ashiatsu relieve tight muscles and stress
Deep pressure stimulates the body's self-healing capabilities
Less soreness typically results then with deep or Neuromuscular work

With the series of strokes in barefoot bar therapy, the pain can easily start to diminish just minutes into the first session, with holistic benefits lasting throughout the week—beyond what a traditional deep tissue massage typically provides. Ashiatsu is known as the “deepest, most luxurious massage on the planet,” yet it also works at a profound, therapeutic level that helps clients reduce and eliminate pain.

Ashiatsu provides the depth many massage consumers crave, and focuses on injury treatment.

This barefoot bar therapy is recognized as a specific deep tissue technique, and has shown remarkable results for persons suffering from:

Chronic pain
Limited mobility
Recovery from injuries (whiplash, falls, sports, etc.)
Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
Postural problems
Osteoarthritis pain
Fibromyalgia
Muscle tension or spasms
Spinal pain, including lower back, neck and thoracic pain
Failed surgery for back pain
Sciatica
Myofascial pain
Neuropathic pain
Chronic pelvic pain
Joint pain

Lower back pain can stem from many issues-postural, past injury, travel, etc. With the series of strokes in Deep Feet Bar Therapy, the pain can easily start to diminish just minutes into the first session, with holistic benefits lasting throughout the week – beyond what traditional deep tissue massage typically provides.

Once the early waves of relaxation wash over the client, a deeper level of therapeutic bodywork naturally begins. The superficial fascia moves under the therapist’s arch. Layers of dehydrated and chronic scar tissue begin to melt under the ball of the therapist’s foot, allowing for the client’s deeper hypertonic (tight) muscles to stretch and lengthen under their soft heel; all of this just within the first five to ten minutes of therapy.

Working the low back and hips beginning with the fascia starts a chain reaction of relaxation through the entire body. Gliding barefoot compressions to the sacrum and surrounding areas gently mobilize the web of deep and superficial membranes – increasing range of motion, and tissue rejuvenation, naturally assisting an passive realignment of the sacroiliac joints and pubic symphasis. Prolonged compressions heat, stretch, and energize connective tissues while also activating the parasympathetic nervous system as the body gently attunes itself. This part of the nervous system slows heart rate, and normalizes blood pressure. It is also responsible for telling muscles to relax, improving digestion and absorption, boosting immunity and promoting good sleep!

Working up the back elongates the spine and opens the intervertebral space increasing disc space height and centrally aligning its position.

Irritation on the spinal nerves may also be relieved with a variety of broad, gentle directional forces applied by a well trained foot.

Traction builds toward the head with a rolling decompression of joint capsules. Pressure saturates the body creating slight articulations of flexion and extension. With each carefully applied stroke, subtle gravity flows through the therapist’s foot down into the client’s tissue with a safe and steady comfortable weight. This helps release chronic postural holding patterns, increases client awareness of space, reduces pain and lengthens the body.

With mid back pain, there can be forward rounding of the thoracic spine and shoulders that can create an aching sometimes sharp radiating sensation between the shoulder blades. About 15-20 minutes into the session we begin to apply strokes that address the intrinsic muscles of the spine that live in the lamina groove to help alleviate chronic mid and upper back soreness.

For clients who love deep pressure massage and are looking for fast relief from pain, AOBT can create a single session that manages chronic and or acute pain.

Lymphatic Hydrotherapy H2O Treatment

Craniosacral

Cranial Sacral Release Technique CSRT is a complete intertwining of the brain and the spinal cord

Cerebral spinal fluid carries light, growth, ions, hormones, and tells stem cells how to proliferate; it cycles the fluid 3 to 4 times completely, which is consistent of 150 mL moving every 2 minutes or 6-8 times every 4 minutes

CSR Treatment can have positive effects on nutrition, hydration, exercise, and trauma

Cranial sacral treatment encourages the flow of the cerebral spinal fluid and assists in maintaining its rhythm

The rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid is very distinct from cardio or respiration rhythm

24 / 7 our choroid plexus detects pressure in the brain; when it’s low, it signals the body to take and synthesize blood to make and create cerebral spinal fluid to increase pressure; decreasing pressure exits through the meninges and cycles 6-8 times every 4 minutes

This work has proven a Nobel prize for force, electromagnetic fields, physiological bodywork and energy work

The release can be profound and not doing it is facilitating it !

From pelvic or sacral release and SI joint release to lumbar sacral decompression traction release, dural tube traction, respiratory diaphragm release, thoracic inlet release, hyoid release, cranial occipital base release, vertrebrovascular insufficiency, to the skull where there is an ecosystem within the sutures, blood vessels, nerves, and the plexus, the fascia acts as an intracellular communication network. The movement is peristalsis for blood and waste, and removes plaque and adhesions.

We are always looking for the direction of ease

Cranial sacral treatment can cause Somato emotional release. It is an unwinding, a holding of the nervous system as physical tissue, a mental and emotional difference will be noted

Everyone should include cranial sacral release treatment as part of their overall therapy program.

For example:

Still point induction or CV 4 technique - facilitates, deep relaxation, refreshes the autonomic nervous system, normalizes the cranial sacral system, and reduces: headaches, edema, fever, blood pressure and pain, it is contraindicated in: cranial hemorrhage or aneurysm, herniated medulla oblongata, recent skull fracture, acute stroke or shunt

The still point induction is palpating and stopping the rhythm with the thenar eminence of therapists hands and a following of the rhythm of expansion and contraction. It is helpful for anxiousness, upregulated, scattered, or rapid talking, dilated pupils, stressed, headaches, grief, high blood pressure, and family* sickness.

Indications for cranial sacral treatment: Issues with:

Focus, ADHD

abdominal pain, hips, back

Lumbosacral, Urogenital, prostate, menstrual, post op, laparoscopic, Low back pain, SI dysfunction, lumbosacral dysfunction, dural tube restrictions,

Thoracolumbar, emphysema, asthma, visceral organ issues, liver, digestion, acid reflux,

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, lymphatic drainage, neck, shoulder, post mastectomy, upper lung, whiplash, TMJ, thyroid, speech, swallowing

Headaches, migraines, fainting, memory, cranial nerves including CN10 vagus nerve, accessary nerves, SCM, traps

TIA, eye motor problems, depression, pituitary, sinusitis, learning disabilities, and autism

Jaw tension, malocclusions of teeth, grinding / bruxism, clenching, clicking, excessive dental work

Hearing, tinnitus, dyslexia, motion sickness, vertigo, dizziness, ear infections, epilepsy and seizure disorders and lastly repeating; anxiousness, upregulated, scattered, rapid talking, dilated pupils, stressed, headaches, grief, high blood pressure, family sickness* fever, edema, pain and for autonomic flexibility

Dehydration leads to fatigue, fibroblast lead to energy demand, adhesions lead to tension, “rocks” are actually facial continuity, inflammation leads to loss of or limited range of motion, somatic dysfunction leads to central nervous system dysfunction

Along with nutrition, exercise, and hydration positively impacting results, here’s . . . What to expect:

Deep relaxation, REM sleep increase, reduction in tension and pain, breathing pattern changes, completely refreshed

What CST does: frees up and enhances, encouraging the flow to maintain rhythm by facilitating with a gentle pressure of 5 to 15 g, the weight of two nickels for 90 seconds to five minutes per site resulting in completion of work ranging from 30 / 45 min. - to approximately one full hour depending on client needs.

Q: What if there is an emotional release?

A: I can help you stay present within your comfort zone and accept the healing process. Continue current treatment, and dialogue as appropriate, we will avoid drama and avoid over sympathizing, keeping patron in their body. Keeping them safe, and holding the feet for grounding

In short craniosacral is a system where gentle hands-on methods of evaluating and enhancing the functioning physiology of the body are used to benefit the central nervous system, the spinal cord and the brain

iTERAcare Wand:

Soccretes stated if you heat the bones you can heal any sickness or disorder . . . ???

The iTERAcare wand uses heat and crystal to target blocked or painful areas of the body.

Utilizing terahertz frequency, a type of electromagnetic radiation between microwaves and infrared light. Emitted at a similar range as healthy human cells, creating resonance to energize and repair inert or damaged cells up to potential depths of 20-30 centimeters nearing bone marrow.

Along with quantum tehnology utilizing quartz crystals for scalar energy to aid in the repair and or removal of unhealthy cells.

The primary element being the optical quartz tube that processes the energy produced within before being emitted from the wand.

Reportedly containing over one hundred trace elements working together to provide an array of benefits for the body including, circulation, metabolism, immunity, detoxification, pain relief, inflammation, and skin appearance. Celebrated for the ability to enhance mental clarity, promote physical vitality, and provide energetic protection.

The terahertz frequency spectrum spans from 100 GHz to 10 THZ CORRESPONDING TO 1MM TO 30ÙM wavelengths.

Most effected organs will be the central nervous system, brain chemistry and histology and the blood-brain barrier. Alleviates neuropathic pain by inhibiting the pyramidal neuron activity in the anterior cingulate cortex. It boosts immune systems, increases metabolic activity in the cells, in creases cellular oxygenation, as well as increases blood flow and is considered safe for humans.
