It's not "back walking" - really it's a graceful, modern version of an ancient form of massage meaning "foot pressure". The therapist uses their clean pedicured feet, along with gravity, to deliver a deeper pressure while holding onto bars anchored above the table for balance and control. The strokes are long and flowing so it can feel like a deep Swedish massage, however it is also a very effective form of deep tissue.
It's wonderful for chronic pain due to muscle imbalances or spinal compression. The most important thing is that you are comfortable. Many clients fully undress. If you need to leave on your underwear for comfort then by all means, leave on your underwear. Our massages typically are done on bare skin using oil.

I surprised my boyfriend with the deluxe package. He had been under a lot of stress and I thought it would help, and he had never been spoiled in this way before. He came home and was so impressed and so grateful. I will definitely go to Barefoot Garden when I need a massage. I recommend it to others. When you can give it as a gift and everything turns out perfect, they deserve 5 stars.
I finally was able to get in and get a massage for myself. It was perfect. Karen was very professional, worked on the areas I asked her to and went above and beyond finding all tension and knots. I will definitely

Ended up having to reschedule twice because I had some things come up but it was easily done with their online portal. I have had a few massages done by Karen and she is great! Very professional and skilled at her work. Will continue doing business with barefoot garden.

I very highly recommend Karen as a Massage Therapist. She is a very well educated and knowledgeable massage therapist. Always warm and welcoming, she takes time to talk about your areas of concern. She will often recommend adjunct therapy such as stretching or acupuncture. I suffered from pain on the right side of my back for over 5 years seeing various massage therapists with no relief. After two sessions of Ashiatsu massage with Karen, the pain was gone . Wow! I am so glad I found her.
As I have grown to know her, I have learned that she also participates in continuing education to keep up on

I have enjoyed Karen's massage therapy for over a year now. Karen is a professional all the way. She always listens to what's going on with ME right now and we adjust each time for what's needed. My favorite massage is the Ashiatsu. I would recommend it to any age group man or woman. I just read where it is actually easier on the client as well as the therapist. Good to know!
