I think it is really important to mention that these techniques should not be preformed unless you are a Licensed Massage Therapist.

Video is good...but her strokes with her hands are incorrect. Doing upward strokes she needs to think of hand mechanics...her wrists will be blown out soon going up sideways with her hands.
