Massage Therapy: Lower Back Relief

Massage expert Susan G. Salvo demonstrates a brief and effective lower back routine. She targets muscles such as the quadratus lumborum, psoas, and paraspinals with massage and stretching techniques. Salvo also throws in a little PNF. Use these techniques to help your clients reduce their lower back pain.

Would it be okay to have the client move closer to you (closer to edge of table) when they are in the fetal position and used your elbow to apply stationary circular friction, instead of using your thumbs?

[LAmassageschool]

@madeinsocal6 yes indeed ~ all these techniques can be modified

It creeped me out when it said "Hey is that Katie hiding behind the screen?" because my name is katie, and i am behind my computer screen :/

Great to see you making more videos! They are always very informative, nice technique in this one.

ok maybe its just me but there is a high pitched noise in the background that kept me from enjoying this video

Ms. Salvo, do you have a technique that would remove the huge tattoo on michelle's lower back? I don't understand why attractive young women feel a need to disfigure themselves.

@LAmassageschool I can't wait till I can learn hot stones and oncology modalities. I really want to work with cancer patients one day. But I need to get a job first.
