To any who plan on making video or power point presentation: DO NOT HAVE ALL YOUR TEXT ON AT ONCE!!! There is a seven rule: no more than seven words at a time.

[SanctuaryMassage]

good demonstration, however MT should really relax her wrist, in my humble opinion. there is nothing extra gained or given with this rigid wrist.

[ProsperityGlobal]

Is this massage similer to Rolfing?.

[3litepker]

@ProsperityGlobal you mean rofling?

[version4point5]

@mi777ke777

yeah, what is up with that ... ?

[bodyenergysoul]

You can absolutely use your elbow/forearm when working on the low back if you are careful and know what you are doing.

[bigassballsyes]

where did I get it? try picking up a coin with your elbows, elbows are way to crude and cannot replace handwork, patient will tell you what a good stroke feels like, too many therpists try and tell the patient.

[drewskichelle]

strong legs and pelvis indeed!!!!

[redbaby1117]

@jcricket67... when it comes to doing work on the back you can work in any direction necessary to the technique you are using b/c the muscles in the back go in different directions as with the feet and hands there is not specific direction to go in. Also with deep tissue you can work against the flow at certain points b/c they are slow movements that will not cause the blood flow to be blocked or slowed down

[bigassballsyes]

Elbows on lower back is a no no. esp if someone has lower back pain, no feedback with elbows, only use hands.

[ColorMyCoral]

@bigassballsyes where did you get this information?

[supergracy]

great !

[OneJohnny]

effleurage is always performed towards the heart , Deep Tissue doesn't have to .

[jcricket67]

Overall not very professional, draping not well presented and most importantly when doing pressure work you should ONLY ever work in the direction of the heart as you are influencing blood flow etc......

[illidin25]

u only need to work towards the heart when u massaging the hands and legs.not when your working the spine,mister wikepedia.

[aerobique]

reptillian alarm

[sayno2me5]

the drapping is true she needs to tighty up but over all its very professional i love the way she explains it as a massage therapist and as 4 a client :)

[sirtinycreep]

Give me a massage, then. ;)

[tasb1998]

lmao

[jessara1989]

really!you people need to be nice because it takes alot of time and training to do what she does, back off!

[Nanz0909]

haha and so did I !!! But I practice proper draping and warm up any muscles I plan to do deep tissue on.. that's pretty much a no-brainer~ duhh

[Nanz0909]

need to tidy up that draping. it's not too secure looking..

[Nanz0909]

there should be an explanation at the beginning stating of some kind of opening techniques (swedish/petrissage techniques) that warm up the muscles and get the blood flowing the the area being prepped for deep tissue massage.

[tehgreatist]

nanz is right you need to warm up the muscles first with lighter work before you go in deep, why down rate?

[Nanz0909]

thanks tehgreatist :)

I just suggested that there should AT LEAST be an explanation (at the beginning of the video) about warming up the muscles which the therapist plans to do deep tissue.

I didn't go to school for nothing.

I mean, c'mon ppl why the thumbs down?? would you like it if someone just dug their elbow into your muscles without any light massage first..?

just ponder that thought***

[DraftMasterJohn]

@Nanz0909 My wife calls that fourplay...don't be jealous. Merry Christmas!

[axelfighter15]

lol where'd that come from

[dubbfresh]

i remember a commercial ad for axe body spray came on before the expertvillage clip played. i couldn't exit out of it or anything... was forced to watch the whole thing... if i wanted commercials, i'd stick to tv dammit!

[pr1978]

So true. Viewing videos over the Internet today has become annoying due to high volume of commercials.

[mi777ke777]

her arm got all reptilian on me...lol..

[TypeORedPill]

@mi777ke777 Yeah, that WAS pretty crappy video quality

[misterbonzai08]

@mi777ke777 This is how they take over the world, they will massage you to death!

[bootylicka2000]

when you do deep tissue shouldn't you wait till the muscle releases when engaged before you move on with that technique it seems as though you move over the muscle making less effective (but it could just be your at demo speed)

[pinklyss]

Comment on this video

[VitalityMassage]

You're right, it is your legs that are strong! That's why I learned how to do barefoot massage. It's awesome and it takes the daily strain off of your upper body. I kind of like barefoot on the floor with bars.

[moo5x]

bad....................

[brib333]

I am not being a smart ass but every time my theripist starts to do my stomach i get an erection.I am embaressed.she has never said anything to me.Should i feel ashamed?

[ksdhfesfh]

ejaculate before your next lesson

[richbear007]

I think a lot of men have a spot where they touch u feel aroused, there professionals, thel understand

[MrV00d00]

lol. its normal to happen both to a guy and girl, I went to school and finished my nine month programmed and most therapist wont say nothing, they might put a towell over you but thats preety much it, unless u act crazy and start touching the therapist.

[murfrules107]

lmao ur the man

[dijaystar]

brib333 I can't understand how you can come back again and again and just lay down at the massage bench and face the massage woman if you get a erection again and again! You seems to like it!

If this is a real huge problem for you, I bet you would not der to come back.

Or atleast you would maby say the problem to her.

[brib333]

If you met her you'd love it to

[carebol]

noob.

[dijaystar]

So yes you are a real smart ass!

[artemios86]

i feel you man

[Socialbutterfly3000]

True

[247XPRESS]

he certainly shows the diversity of the word...

[Necronlord101]

Indeed, its too bad he was up all night thinking of that comment.

[marcusunlimited]

Hey nice vid. Thank to all the massage therapist who use our music for their clients also. Happy Holidays ~Marcus:)

[247XPRESS]

...eh, I'd hit it...

[tshalverson]

with a shovel.

[247XPRESS]

nah...you have no idea how low my standards are, besides, that is almost out of my league...

[carlomil9]

shoul keep your fist relaxed

[grazakukowo]

What about proper drapping?

[BayBeeFeet]

lol

[puriscalera]

well...i have to say a MT should always massage with loose wrists, this will avoid any future injuries or diseases such as repetitive motion movement "carpal tunnel"...also the massage is not given with force, is putting you body weight on to the person to give pressure, not muscle...i love the teacher who taught me this...she was my mentor once, and now she is in a pedestal!

[remixdiver2]

good i `m good masseur but i can`t find good work

[tealeh2]

That is it for a deep tissue massage??? Is it only for the back??

[RMIHA]

Hi tealeh2, Deep tissue massage can be done anywhere on the body. It's a technique with an emphasis on softening muscles and other tissue w/strokes that lengthen and broaden, break up adhesions (like scar tissue), and discover things (like trigger points-a whole other story) and release them. A lot of clients say it feels as if their muscles have been "worked" or "released." It can reduce pain and increase range of motion. Also, it can release toxins or emotions from the body. Hope this helps.

[MassageAlumni]

Great overview of deep tissue work!...

[Hoboscouts]

yea she can

[amberleah2008]

To be fair, going around shouting and swearing at people on teh interwebs isn't making you look too professional either.

[kelim92]

I have FMS/CMP and I do TPT on myself (hoping to get a therapist soon), and afterward I am sore. During the treatment it can be very painful, depending on the severity and the number of knots in the vicinity. This treatment is not about relaxation, but getting the muscles to function properly again. It is very effective.

[fnog9]

DT can be relaxing in fact, everything I ever learned about massage, and experienced supports the idea that techniques are much more effective if they are relaxing as well as properly executed. It just bothers me a lot this seemingly elitist attitude that DT is about getting muscles to "function properly" and relaxation is somehow a lesser therapy. What are the benefits of massage? Greater range motion, circulation, etc. Relaxation is effective for all that massage is intended for.

[kelim92]

I can tell you from experience that "relaxation" massage is irritating to FMS. That's because most people with FMS have chronic myofascial pain that includes trigger points. Swedish style techniques cause flares in most with it. It's fine for others who respond well to it. DT IS about getting the muscles to function properly for those who are with this condition.

[fnog9]

fms is a pain disorder, so of course in this case discomfort during any physical treatment may be unavoidable. Also, fms is a bad example as it is not even understood. As you said yourself, "swedish massage is fine for others who respond well to it". So basically, deep work is fine for some, and not for others. Deep work on some people with fms would cause unbearable flareups.

[fnog9]

However, my point was that relaxation IS an effective way to increase the effectiveness of massage. And that deep work can and should often be relaxing as well. There is no rule that painful massage is effective.

[kelim92]

An FMS patient shouldn't avoid DT out of fear of pain. It does hurt, but overall there is better lasting relief. Swedish massage makes my muscles tighter and my skin/soft tissue have burning sensations. DT makes my muscles looser and longer and no burning. There is anecdotal evidence to this in others. Fibros should try both and use the best, but DT needs to be given several sessions as we can be full of TPs.

[kelim92]

I FMS well considering I've spent the last 10 years studying and living it. Not only through my experience, but that of Massage Therapists have reported that Swedish massage causes flares. For me it caused a 4-day flare. I definitely agree that it would possibly cause flares with DT, the difference being that DT actually works out the accumulated toxins that Swedish doesn't reach, therefore, a better overall, lasting result. I vouch from experience.

[kelim92]

I mean to say, "I know FMS well."

[duncanjwebster]

"Remember to keep breathing." I think we've all learned something here today.

[duncanjwebster]

Wow...sounds like you need a massage. Don't forget to breathe.

And while you're at it, lighten the fuck up.

[DTakersgurl]

Stop breathing in Massage? wtf?

[blackberryjuice1]

YES!  You NEED to REMEMBER to BREATHE in massage. IF YOU DON'T, YOU CAN DIE!!!!!

[DTakersgurl]

Don't mind me. I read it wrong.

[blackberryjuice1]

YES! I SWEAR, at least HALF of the people on Youtube CAN'T READ! At least you're woman enough to ADMIT IT!

[erfreaka25]

that happens alot believe it or not. sometimes when I find tension in certain people I notice when working on that area, they stop breathing. I do it myself when someone finds a trigger point on me, and I have to remind myself to breathe deep

[iluvzumore]

LMAO

[angelofjudgment88]

you're an idiot

[ChromeLocust]

8... no 7 years old. Did I get it?!

[Hoboscouts]

seriously

[roszposa]

You are not explaining which muscles you are attempting to stretch you are not doing any testing to see which muscles are causing restrictions

[obxgirl87]

man no matter what I do my body mechanics really suck! I give great massages but I always need one after I give one.

[Avatar336]

i know!

I want a massage right now!

[Exsecrabilis]

Obxgirl87:

Pehaps leveling the table to the right height of your knuckles, palm or outstretch hand may help. Sorry for intruding unnotice, obgirl87.

Greetings and Salutations.

[silatk]

Very nice application of the forearm-elbow on deep tissue!!!! One can use any part of teh upper extremity to do DT. I prefer also very little oil to "grasp" the muscle with the elbow or palm.

[shoottrue]

Great body mechanics, but I dont agree with very little oil. In my practice I use medium oil for DT massage. And very rarely use forearm for DT. I use palm, fist,or thumb iron.
