Tsuboki Japanese Foot massage was developed to allow myself and others to deliver the benefits of foot masasge without the need for extensive training. Foot massage is extrememly relaxing and also therapeutic. Tsuboki Foot Massage is accessibel to the therpist in terms of learning; and accessible to the client, in that ther is no need to undress.
There is some theory, so that you have a grasp of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and so that you have some idea of the kind of effects you can be having simply by massaging the feet.
After that the course is mostly practical. It is broken down into short modules so that you can learn one technique at a time, before putting it all together to make a forty-five minute routine.
There are 5 Stages to the massage:
Stage 1 - We warm up and mobilise the foot and lower leg
Stage 2 - We use rollers on the foot in order to stimulate, soften, and massage more deeply without injuring ourselves as therapists.
Stage 3 is a luxurious massage with a moisturising cream
Stage 4 - We work all the acupressure points and meridians on the foot
And we finish with Stage 5, Buddha Footprints, a simple but incredibly calming technique to bring it all together.
