Course Description

Take your clients to a deeper level of relaxation with the added benefit of decreasing pain and fatigue in their feet and legs.

This class will teach you a dedicated 30-45 minute foot and leg (from the knee down) massage that can become an add-on to your massage offerings.

You will learn several new techniques and concepts related to foot and leg health, such as how to treat plantar fasciitis, how to work gently to rehydrate connective tissues and eliminate pain, movements and hand techniques that are soothing and also some that are stimulating.

We will also look at the 6 meridians of the feet and legs to become knowledgeable about which organs systems we are affecting, and which points to avoid during pregnancy.

Recent studies have shown that foot massage reduces pain and anxiety experienced before and after surgery.  see amtamassage.org/research.

This massage includes hot towels and draping techniques.  Bring 4 hand towels, 2 bath towels, a bolster, a flat sheet, massage oil and cream.  Wear loose pants that will push up over your knees.

Foot and Leg massage is sometimes the forgotten or skipped over part of a treatment. It is especially beneficial to many people who have an injury or illness that affects their feet and legs; like neuropathy and diabetes.

All ages benefit from this massage. Athletes, dancers, runners, those on vacation, and those who suffer from the effects of aging, edema, neuropathy and injury will appreciate the attention given to their feet and legs.
