I recently experienced an injury while gardening, and it reminded me just how grateful I am for learning DeepFeet Bar Therapy back in 2007. This technique, along with my earlier studies of Traditional Thai Massage at ITM in Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2002 and 2004, has been instrumental in giving me the longevity I've had in my massage career.
The average massage therapist's career spans about five years, but I’ve been practicing since 2000. I can genuinely say that learning how to massage with my feet through DeepFeet Bar Therapy is one of the best choices I’ve made. It’s allowed me to keep doing what I love without compromising my body.
In this video, I share my personal experience with how these techniques have helped me recover from my recent injury and why they've been game-changers in my career.
