This is an uncomfortable position for the therapist to sit in. If she had a wall to press her back on it would be better. Using gravity to your advantage is best. to move the client onto a partial side lying position and then use a "wooden Ashiatsu walker" placed over the client to hold onto would be better. I'm going to build one of these tools for my new Ashiatsu class.

Peace,

Brett

I disagree with your opinion, and don't find it uncomfortable at all, but some LMT's wrists may not like it. However it is more comfortable and effective than elbows. Ashiatsu-like bars have been used for a long time in other countries, and are great for certain bodywork. When you get tendinosis in your shoulders from the bars, come and we will fix you! ;0)

I bet a small vibrating device just inside to stimulate his prostate would give him full relaxation and speed.

I practice this style and the back jack chair is absolutely necessary when working on the floor. This style has the least amount of impact on the practitioners body and I cannot say enough good things about it.

[trisoma1]

Yes- that is why the backjack was shown, but not used much for efficiency of studio photography. A wall is also useful if you are not extremely strong. Thanks for the comment.

@kenjiohyama Aromatherapy and swedish massage are great for basic situations and conditions, but for overworked athletes, musicians and office workers who abuse their soft tissues, compressive and other deep tissue techniques cause physiological changes to the tissues which result in improved performance and recovery.

The book and dvd by John Harris are a great compilation on how to "Fix Pain".

looks great but spoilt for me when the narrator said that deep tissue work was something other than just moisturising with oils. i'm an aromatherapist primarily and can assure you that oils do more than moisturise and the accompanying massage although more superficial has many benefits, including lymph movement. interstitial fluid movement, circulation and nerve system balancing.

A weight vest is useful in some properly supervised training programs, but may affect coordination and can help or hurt. Many professional athletes now receive massage on a daily basis to help recover.

just wear a weight vest when training..that is sure to increase your speed

A recent client (gymnast) wrote me that she was "flying" during a run the next day after her first barefoot treatment.
