walk around massage

[paul r]

I am interested in John Harris' "walk around" massage. Has anyone had any experience with this? The website is http://www.deeperwork.com. :?:

I love compression and I find that my clients achieve a deeper "calm" and relaxation when I use alot of it in my massage work.

I have not heard of this guy, though, that's not saying much. I haven't heard of alot of bodyworkers.

It looks like it takes a very skilled therapist to keep the balance and strength necessary for sustained compression with the feet. Not to mention the skill of palpating with your feet.

But what is up with that photo on his home page?

Good luck!

WOW I just followed that link and the moving photo scared the c-rap out of me. I couldn't stay at the site long enough to get a feel for what it's about. Apparently I am easily spooked!

I haven't heard about this (I also found the pic on pg 1 to be freaky!). It looks like it might be similar to fijian foot massage.

Not sure which pick you are talking about...

Some of the techniques are similar to traditional Shiatsu, and friend who does Thai Yoga Massage has some similar techniques as well.

Doesn't seem strange to me, just a re-market.

oh ma gosh, me too! That is too wierd! But the photos of the work technique are great. Very similar to some Thai massage & ahshiatsu seated & standing work I have seen & had done.

I finally got the video and the book and it is wonderful! The book has a ton of information! My husband says I already walk all over him though, so this won't be anything new for him. :

The photos on the homepage are just photos, in my browser. I feel left out, lol.

The technique does look interesting. I love working on my older kids with my feet.

When I go to the home page, there are no moving photos, so nothing scared me. However, there also seems to be no workshops scheduled, so taking a class isn't an option anyway.

 

[Pompal 09.]

No, everything looks like a nice normal website now. There used to be some kind of freaky black-and-white arrangement sort of like a flip book, I think portraits of that teacher (headshots), and I'm sure it was not meant to be frightening!

John Harris calls his technique "Barefoot Deep Tissue". I hope to take his seminar or catch his class at Santa Barbara Body Therapy Institute in the near the future.

My friend raved about the seminar he taught at the California AMTA convention a few years ago. What I like about his technique is that it is more portable than Ashiatsu because you only need a rug or mat, bolsters/pillows and use a cane to stabilize yourself.

I know his book is highly recommended reading for Ashiatsu therapists. I've been meaning to get it, I hear it's worth the $.

 

[Cynthis King]

I am pretty sure this method is similar to "Heeling". Here are a few more massage-by-foot links.

Another type of massage along these lines is Chavutti. http://www.chavutti.com/


Also, you can google: Kalari Foot Massage (Chavutti Thirumal).

No freaky pictures for me, but the site apparently hasn't been updated since 2007?

 

[postal p]

Wow! And I thought that I hadn't updated my site in a while!

 

[Ice_Nova]

They have a new DVD out...

You can find it at http://www.trisoma.com. I bought it and it's wonderful. I also have the book which is wonderful as well. I am bummed that the website is so out of date and that there are no further trainings scheduled. This is such a useful modality.

barefoot massage I have been doing since 1985, I learned it in russia at a soviet sports science institute. we used to use it on the powerlifters. I have since "learned" it in hawaiian massage and fijian massage. But think about it people have had others "walk" on them since the first time "ugg" told his wife to use more pressure and she got upset and told him to lay down and she walked on him
