What is Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy® (ADFBT)?
A barefoot massage technique using deep compression effleurage strokes that glide over the body. Gravitational force is combined with centrifugal and centripetal movements. This creates a structural change in chronic soft tissue damage. Correct application will provide deep relaxation and stimulates the lymphatic system of the body. Bars are used above the head for support and balance and a massage lotion is applied to the body.
