Massage – Tips, Articles, News & Information

What is the style of massage called when the person walks on your back?

I want to learn more about the style of massage where the person giving the massage walks on the person receiving the massage’s back. I was told it was Thai massage but I don’t know what to call it to find out more! I am interested in learning how to do this but I don’t want to break someone’s back trying!

    Ashiatsu certification is a 3-part process. Cost is $550 to learn the basics and is available to massage therapists only.

    I should add that there are other barefoot Swedish therapies. Receiving a Thai massage is similar to doing yoga, except the therapist is manipulating your body into stretches and positions!

    I don’t know the name of it but it feels real good. I weigh 200 and the person that walked on it was 117. It felt really good too

    Is that a ‘foot massage’? <wink…I couldn’t resist>

    It sure sounds good, though, just the thought of it!
