Barefoot bodywork refers to styles that use feet instead of hands as tools to perform professional massage techniques.
Ashiatsu
In the Japanese language “Ashi” translates to foot and “Atsu” into pressure. Ashiatsu Therapy, is a barefoot massage technique in which the therapist delivers deep, broad, consistent pressure while utilizing their feet and body weight. Working with gravity instead of against it, Ashiatsu therapists are able to provide an effective therapeutic massage without causing pain or discomfort to themselves or the receiving client.
Cream or oil is applied to the clients body making this deep therapeutic massage fluid and relaxing. Parallel bars are used above the massage table for balance, support and client safety.

Sarga Bodywork
Sarga bodywork enables practitioners to gain tensional support and force with a fabric strap fastened to a massage table. By pulling up on the fabric while applying downward pressure, this added energy is safely and effectively transferred onto the recipient’s body.
The combination of gravitational and tensional force with our methods allows practitioners to deliver consistent, oblique pressure to provide a uniquely effective myofascial therapy.
