Installing Ashiatsu Bars is much easier and more affordable than most people think it will be. I've installed a set of bars with my father that cost less than $30 (pre-COVID) because I only paid for the materials and no labor. It took less than a few hours for us to complete once we had the materials. I installed the bars into a simple dry wall ceiling attaching the set up into wood studs using eight 4 inch wood screws. It was as easy as hanging a big picture or shelf on the wall. The most a student of mine was invoiced for their bar installation was just over $450. These bars were installed by a carpenter and into a drop ceiling requiring more materials and labor than bars like mine. They were also built around light fixtures and are shown in the manual. This massage therapist traded Ashiatsu massage gift certificates for the cost of the bars and installation. Most of my students have traded massage or massage gift certificates for the bar installation with a friend or relative who can do it.
You can hire a professional to make and install your Ashiatsu Bars or you can make it a DIY project depending on your experience with construction and carpentry. The bars must be sturdy and ABLE TO EASILY SUPPORT YOUR WEIGHT. How you set up your Ashiatsu bars will depend on the factors below.
Bars Suspended From the Ceiling:
Low or high ceilings, drop ceilings, cathedral, or loft ceilings are factors in the height and difficulty of the installation of your Ashiatsu bars.
Ashiatsu Bars Suspended From a Frame:
Frames can be built when ceiling support isn't available. Depending on the size of the room this can be as simple as wood supports on the walls or a much larger full external frame that isn’t supported into a ceiling or walls.
Cost:
The cost of Ashiatsu Bars varies. The type of ceiling or walls and the amount of material you will need will affect the cost. If you hire someone to install the bars their labor costs will add to the price. In general, installation of Ashiatsu Bars can be done in one day. Less than $30 in materials is the least I’ve spent when installing bars myself and the most expensive bars a student of mine had installed was just over $450. She did barter massage and gift certificates for the bar installation though allowing her to not spend any money.
