Who would expect that aside from our hands, our foot can also be used as a powerful tool in relaxing and treating people with various medical conditions? Although most massage therapies all around the world focus on the healing ability of the hands, newer types of therapeutic and relaxing massages are using the wonders and advantages of the feet.
Barefoot deep tissue massage is a type of deep penetrating massage therapy with the use of the foot instead of the conventional manipulation of massage strokes and techniques with the hands. The therapy provides a relaxing and comfortable experience to the client while the therapist works on relieving painful conditions including common ailments such as headaches and migraines.
In most massage therapies, the hands of the masseuse usually get injured in the long run due to the stressful use of the hands. Hours and hours of exerting force on the body of a client can cause painful conditions and eventually injuries to the hands of the therapist. Because of this, John Harris started using his developed technique in performing massage strokes with his feet instead of his hands to avoid accumulating pressure and stress on his massage tools. The technique is quite new but has already gained quite popularity due to many good reasons including the no strain, no stress, and less injury benefit it does for the massage therapist.

A client is politely asked to lie on a floor mat during a barefoot deep tissue massage therapy session where he or she can wear loose clothing. The therapy will be performed by the masseuse in different comfortable positions where he or she will not need to exert pressure in providing force in each stroke. The therapist combines the use of the heel and the bone of the foot at the outer end part when conducting variations of massage strokes and techniques. The therapist works on the trigger points of the human body in order to relieve body pain. Myofascial release technique is also used while conducting compressive strokes to amplify the effects of the massage therapy. Some therapist prefers to use massage oil during the therapy session while others conduct massage strokes without using lubricants on the skin.
The therapy delivers a relaxing and soothing mind and body experience that can keep clients from coming back for more. The therapy is great for individuals who are stressed and have chronic fatigue as the techniques used are great for breaking down tensions in the body. Although the session can be slightly painful in some parts due to its being a deep tissue type of massage, the whole treatment can become quite relieving and satisfying.
One way of enjoying the treatment is to have it from a professional and certified massage therapist as they are trained in correctly pinpointing the trigger areas that are responsible for releasing tension in order for relief to settle inside the body. They are also educated in keeping away from the risks and dangers of leaving injuries in a massage therapy session.
