I'm back to say this video (and the whole set) is epic. You are such a fantastic teacher. Just saw my previous comment from years ago. Came back to this video because I figured out that pinching the area which is my armpit really firmly was great for the rest of my back. Now I know why! Origins and insertionnnnsss. LOL. Such a great series. Ever grateful.
Your comment just made my day! I’m very happy to read that even months later you still take away something useful from this video. I appreciate you too ❤️🙏🤗
It’s really all about the nervous system. Retraining & creating new pain free connections. Most people aren’t taught that unfortunately. You are very bright!!!!!
Great point. I have overworked ('cooked') a few of my clients, experienced it myself. It's not something I would recommend. The C-shape tissue mobility you demonstrated is phenomenal.
I've recently taken my diploma as massage therapist and watching you I'm so impressed! You're really giving gold information away for free. Hats down! ❤️
Congratulations Alex on your massage diploma! This world needs enthusiastic therapist that are willing to continue learning! I appreciate your feedback 🤗👏❤️
I have been doing massage for more than 30 years, I never saw someone working with such a great details. Even myself I learned a lot. Amazing methodology, well done. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Definitely one of the best therapeutic massage videos on TH-cam. You actually explain in detail how and why you are doing things, as well as helping a novice like me see what muscles to locate. Thanks for your hard work!
I've been practicing for over 30 years and it is so good to finally ear someone sharing the same believing...it is not about how hard you go but how detail and specific you are about your client! This is it! No doubt about it! Love your video and gonna watch all of it ! Thank you so much! Have a nice day from Québec, Montréal!
Deslauriers France I’m so happy to meet someone that has been practicing as long as I have!!!! So nice that you left a comment thank you!!! Yes the more specific you are the better the results. No need to be so fancy it’s really simple & effective! I really appreciate your positive feedback and congratulations on your longevity as a therapist!!! I wish we could converse in person! Welcome to my channel ❤️
This is the most educational video on the proper way to give a massage I’ve ever seen! I absolutely love that you drew out the muscles on her back for us to visually see, I’ve never seen that done before, well done!👏🏼
Toni Tyler yes I have an artist that draws the muscles for me. If you watch the Burnout out video you’ll see him in the background painting the back muscles 😊
@@MassageTherapeutics915 outstanding video Love the drawing on the body. I am a novice at giving massage. I learn more from your videos than from watching 20 other teachers.
bristolstomp wow what a nice compliment! Thank you very much. I’ve been teaching for so long that I like to make it simple & focus more on the muscles! Best of luck to you & your continued learning 🤗
No matter what level of therapist you're at, this channel is sooooo helpful. So glad I've found it. It's calming to just have a video playing at any time. Whether for review, reminder or learning. Her voice just echos happy techs into the mind 😁🫠
I absolutely loved this video. I have scoliosis and work in front of the computer all day, and you touched on all my knots and trigger points! So enlightening to see what my physiotherapist is doing back there and visualizing the muscles. And the best part, soooo interesting to hear about the nervous system too. I don't think most physios and massage therapists learn this nowadays. For most of my life I learned to champion through the horrible pain of a deep tissue massage, with countless therapists. Then my last physiotherapist just took it over the edge for me. For over a year she pushed on those trigger points with all her strength and there was just no progress, I just kept getting worse! But I used to think there was no other way around it. It wasn't until very recently that I found a new therapist that works differently and didn't put me through that suffering and worked the fascia and knew about not triggering my nervous system and my brainwashed self was skeptical at first but I'm finally starting to feel better and I now just want to send this video to every therapist I've ever known! 😂 THANK YOU!
I am happy to read that you found a therapist that doesn’t over work you & is helping you!!!! I’m sorry for the pain you’ve been through! I have a video that explains the physiological laws of neuromuscular. I’m sharing it here th-cam.com/video/UJNYj0BgYms/w-d-xo.html
My students and I watch your videos in class and practice some of your techniques, we are located in South Texas. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the field of massage therapy, we appreciate what we learn from your videos! Very respectfully, Well-Known Reyes
Thank you for your support & feedback Well-Known Reyes! It makes it all worthwhile when I read encouraging words like yours! Please tell all the students hello 👋 for me. If you would ever like to set up a zoom with your class let me know. We could do a Q&A meeting 🤗❤️
craffte I’m with you on the music!!! I don’t play it too loud for my clients nor do I play boring music. I’m always searching for new music too to break up the monotony! Thanks for noticing!
My god lady! You’re amazing! Thank you for drawing the muscle and explaining origins and insertions, I’m a therapist too and I love your knowledge, really inspiring, I hope to get to your level one day! Much love, Marco.
Hey Marco thanks for the feedback! I can honestly tell you that it took me years to learn them! I love helping my clients and that kept me motivated to continue learning. You will too. I feel your passion 🤗❤️
I appreciate your work and how knowledgeable you are. I’ve learn more watching you than I did in school. The way you teach makes it easier to learn and understand.
Wow I am very happy to know you continue to learn! You’re every teachers dream student! Thank you for your compliment and support. Create a great day 🤗
Great video. Thank you for drawing the muscles out. So helpful! I’ve tried to learn more about the back muscles so I can give a better massage to my wife. She’s a fitness instructor who uses those trap and rhomboid muscles a lot. She has a lot of knots that I’ve been trying to work out for her. Your tips will help a lot!
The drawing on the back is so perfect! Finally I can really see what muscle is talked about and where exactly it runs - this is now my favorite massage channel! :) Hope this channels gets big soon!
Kaimura 92 thank you very much! I appreciate the positive feedback. I’m putting out as many videos as we can record. My original goal was 1 a month then it started picking up &.people wanted 2 a month and now it’s once a week! It’s been challenging since we all have full time jobs. We’ll keep it coming as much as we can! Enjoy. Share with people you know! This helps me so I can keep up the production! Thank you
I love the way you teach ♡♡ after 13 years I learn so much from you. And I love to hear you also feel that pain os not always better...I tell the same to my clients ♡ thanks for giving this excellent free classes...much apreciated 🙏
Ann Wijns thank you very much for the lovely comments! I think a good massage therapist never stops learning so we’re in it for life. I’m very happy this helped too. Please share and help spread the videos. Best of wishes for you 🙏🤗
I do massage as a hobby with my friends and family and they are wanting me to get my license as a massage therapist. I truly appreciate your videos! I am a new subscriber! I look forward to watching ALL of your videos!Thank You!❤
Welcome to my channel & thank you for your support. There are several things to consider when choosing a massage therapist career. I suggest you ask as many questions as possible & if I can help you with any please ask. It’s important to weight the pros/cons for each individual person. Everyone has different needs/wants. I’ve been a massage therapist for 32yrs & I don’t regret it. I have a college degree yet I chose to stay in this career. I’ve had a lot of flexibility in setting my schedule and not stressed had I chosen to teach in a school setting. If your friends are suggesting it for you they must see several qualities already. Like you are probably good with your hands, compassionate, caring & wanting to help others. I suggest you call your state & find out what the requirements are. Then find a local massage therapy school because I’m sure they’ll give you more information and try to get you to sign up. Do your research well & you will know what the answer is. ❤️🤗
@@MassageTherapeutics915 Yeeees, from Colombia, Living in California a fresh graduated from massage therapy and blessed by your wisdom!! from long time ago. thanks again, We all owe you a lot!!
@@VIVALAMUSICAOFFICIALCHANNEL viva Colombia! Las mujeres más guapas del mundo. Congratulations on your current studies! Thank you very much for your support. ❤️🤗
Wow, I’ve been in Massage Therapist for 17 years and I just love watching your videos. You are fantastic knowledgeable and you make it so easy and fun!! I’m so happy I’ve come across your videos. I will share this with others. Thank you so much for all your hard work. !! you are awesome! ❤
Congratulations on being a massage therapist for 17 years! Not many make it that long! I truly appreciate your feedback and support! Thank you for sharing with others & helping my channel grow.
I can only imagine how good it would feel to have a knowledgeable massage therapist work out all the tension in my back and legs !! Those techniques she demonstrates on the models right side have got to do wonders !! 😌😌
I hope you get massages regularly! They are very beneficial to your body even if the therapist is not very experienced. We increase blood flow to the areas & that brings oxygen and nutrients for the body to heal itself. Your body is the real miracle! We just assist 🤗
carissabtrose thank you for the compliment. There’s a lot of wonderful instructors with passion & so much knowledge! I’m very grateful for my instructors too. I’ve also learned a lot from students! Enjoy
This is so helpful to me as a massage therapists. I learned a lot of new techniques that I will incorporate with my existing routines. Yes, never stop learning! You are very professional and so informative. I love the drawings that will teach us the muscle boundaries:) Thank you and bless you more to share with us!
I love how you mentioned the trigger points and the deep tissue. So many therapists just do deep up and down and hurt there clients instead of locating the trigger points glad to see another therapist that knows what they are doing
Thank you for the compliment!!! I was trained in Neuromuscular therapy and that’s what made the difference for me. Along with Tuina too (Chinese massage). Do you use Neuromuscular techniques too? I’m always interested in meeting fellow therapist 🤗
@@MassageTherapeutics915 yes I specialize in Trigger point Therapy since it’s all I come across now a days, sadly all my clients never meet therapist that do that type of therapy they all end up getting the deep tissue and they end up feeling worse afterwards, I have met a lot of traumatized clients because of it. Hard to get them to trust you to fix them afterwards
Maria, Thank you for such great details. Seeing the muscles as you worked them was extremely helpful and all the extra information you give is appreciated. I am in school right now, just finishing up my Swedish 1 class. I was watching to develop my own routine. Thank you!
Congratulations Karen on searching for videos to help you with your routine. That’s what a good student does! We don’t stop learning & we put in extra hours! Congrats on choosing massage therapy
This is wonderful. Unfortunately I get so many clients in the "no pain no gain" mindset, and no matter if I explain the benefits they feel they've been short-changed unless I go super deep and cause pain. It's frustrating since it takes a toll on me too.
Glad I came across your video- for 25 yrs I’ve been over working myself. Love the details and the colored anatomy map. The words were blocking some moments but I appreciate what I saw. Thank you
Congratulations on your 25 years!!!! That’s not an easy thing to say! I’m glad you liked the video. You can move the subtitles or the captions out of the way so you can see what I’m doing. You might need to ask someone how you move them. Depending on your computer. Or you can goggle it
😮💨All those aspiring massage therapist needs to come watch this. A lot of free information on what to do and it will also make you look somewhat legit.
I love this! So informative, and I love that the muscles are drawn in the person! It’s so much easier to understand the anatomy that way. I love this lady, she’s a great teacher!
This seems like the most professional, informative channel on massages i have found on youtube so far. Very educational and the actual motoric skills that go into the techniques portraid in the videos come across as extremely well rounded and perfectioned. Thank you for the wonderful work!
As someone that has zero interest in using any of this information and just stumbled upon this video you do a great job in speaking in a way to keep it interesting and engaging to follow along. The illustrations are so useful to see on an actual body.
I appreciate the compliment! During these challenging times it’s nice to receive such positive feedback. All my college classes will be on line until next year so it’s a shame the students won’t benefit from first hand learning. I hope you are well & are able to get back to work safely. Thanks again for your uplifting message.
This is amazing! My hubs teaches a martial art and lifts weights and I'm always giving him massages. I want to be better. This video really helps me. Thank you.
This is an amazing, educational, and informative demonstration of soft tissue techniques and myofascial release (myofascial release is my favorite technique). I'm currently an Osteopathic Medical Student, and though we get some training in soft tissue techniques, they are not our focus. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!!
Congratulations on your awesome journey!!! I’m happy to hear you are searching for soft tissue manipulation and found my videos!!! Thank you for your feedback. Coming from you it means a lot!
I love her approach to massage. In-depth. Knowledgeable. Healing. A therapist/teacher who remembers why they got in the game in the first place. And the drawing - genius. For us visuals, this is heaven.
Stacee Massey Stacee thank you for the best comment! You are what makes this process so worthwhile! I totally understand since I’m a visual learner too thus the reason I got the idea to draw the muscles... you’re a teacher’s dream student with your appreciation & kindness.
I truly appreciate your kind words & feedback! I thought about that several times however that would not leave me much time for my clients. Even though during this Covid time it would have been difficult! I truly appreciate your support! I am very passionate about teaching, love the enthusiasm of the students! Stay healthy and strong ❤️🤗
Brilliant, easy to follow, effective techniques - loving your videos. Going to add the myofascial warm -up on the back to my routine today. Excited to have a new tool. Thank you.
Amanda Mann you’re very welcome. I love massage therapist that still grow & get enthusiastic about new techniques! That’s how I am & I never stop learning either. Enjoy. I’m sure your clients will really appreciate it too. 🤗❤️
Dominique Marshall you are welcome. Thank you for the positive feedback! Yes I do love to share knowledge & help us be the best massage therapist! We’re changing the world one massage at a time!!!
Hi Maria just started watching you i have been doing massage for 14 years and love to learn new ways to work the muscle groups without going to deep on my client. Love how you show the muscle anatomy on the client helps see it more clearly. Your techniques gives me more varieties to help my clients with any problems areas.
Congratulations on your longevity as a massage therapist! You’re definitely doing something right! I’m glad the videos are able to help!!! Thank you too ❤️🤗
Also I have a client that has frozen shoulder I know there is a video of the rotator cuff but can you do another video on had to get frozen shoulder to release and have free rom like getting the arm behind the back and other movemen
@@jolenrsepe3841 I have 2 videos on this. The one I just released yesterday Neuromuscular Techniques Help Trigger Points and the other is the frozen shoulder one. Good luck
Wow can i just say thank you so much for the extremely informative video. I am very appreciative of that fact that you dedicated your time to explaining and showing us everything. Might start considering becoming a therapist or just a regular masseuse
Wow wow wow your comment just made my day! So you’re not a massage therapist yet you are watching the videos? I have a follower from Austin that told me the same thing. He was inspired by one of the videos & he’s currently studying massage therapy in Austin. You know massage therapy involves a lot of A&P, kinesiology, technique, intuition and of course heart! You can be the smartest person in the class however if you lack people skills or compassion or patience those students struggle after graduation. Yet some of the average students with intuition & drive do really well. I guess what I’m saying is that massage therapy is a wholistic approach and you don’t have to excel at anything in particular just be well rounded. I love what I do & wouldn’t trade it for anything else! I do hope you consider it seriously since you’re already learning. Did you know that massage therapy was part of the nursing program until it was removed in the 1970’s. We became our own entity. Best of luck and keep me posted on your decision!!! Create a great day ❤️
This video is great! I’m currently in massage school. We are very limited to what we are doing right now. I’m always looking for other techniques that will be useful once I am on my own.
Billy Jordan Billy I’m sorry I missed your message 3 weeks ago! I don’t know what happened. I’m so happy to hear that you’re currently in massage school. Where are you at & how many hours is the program? Massage students are the reason I started this TH-cam channel so you guys are dear to my heart! I’m happy to help with what I can. Thanks for leaving a comment & again sorry for the delay.
Massage Therapeutics currently we are in AP. This coming week we are taking tests on the skeletal system and the muscular system. I’m nervous but with 20 years of healthcare experience I feel good about how I will do. My program is in Dallas Hands On Approach School of Massage. I’m taking the 570 hour program with 120 hours of clinical internship. They offer this option to reduce tuition cost. It’s a great school with a long history. The owner sits on all the boards of Texas. He is great.
Billy Jordan that’s similar to our curriculum. In Texas it’s a 500 hr program so it’s nice that they offer you more internship hrs in exchange for reduced tuition. That’s really clever! Sounds like a great program. With your training in the health field I’m sure you’ll do pretty good since you probably already know the medical terminology. I have a Quizlet account for students that I set up with reviews on most of the A&P chapters. We use the Salvo book so if it will help you I don’t mind you using it or anyone else you want to share it with. My students really like to use it because they have different ways to learn them. I like to play Quizlet live with the students & it helps prepare them for the test. You can go to marianellynatera & it’s a little black panther. If you’re interested that will help review the skeletal & muscular systems. Good luck
Superb mam, the way you explained things made it very clear how to target important areas without causing damage to sensitive parts. Now I know 99% of the massage therapists from whom I took massage didnt really undergone the training in this scientific manner. Hats off to you. Loved it.
Thank you for the guidance 🙏 I lost myself as a therapist 4 years ago. My Darling passed away 2 weeks from my graduation day! I took the MBLEX test and missed a few points so... I failed 😔 You hit the switch of light in me. My vision is still there 🤗😍 Thank you dearly 🌹
Happy Teresa I’m sorry you went through so much. I can’t even imagine how you finished after such a traumatic experience. I think maybe this is your calling and now you’re ready to continue. Sometimes we heal ourselves by helping others. Best wishes on your journey back.
@@MassageTherapeutics915 Thank you kindly 😌 I'll retraining my brain and continue learning from you with your awesome... channel. So.. much to remember.. 🧠💁♀️ Have a wonderful weekend! Once again Thank you!
Happy Teresa perfect wording! “So much to remember “ means the information is already there! It will start coming back faster once you start! Down load the Mblex apps & trail guide to the body app. They really help. You have a great weekend too! Thanks
Adrian Contreras I’m so glad you’re benefiting from the videos! I love the drawings too & we’re getting better at it & figuring out what works better! Thank you and please share so we can continue to grow. This has been all self funded so I’m feeling the pinch and I want to continue!!!
Thank you so much For these videos I’ve been doing Massage for 13 years or 14 years and watching your videos really help me improve my skills and techniques to help my clients help heal make them feel better after each session keep up bringing more techniques in your knowledge of anatomy with drawings really helps I’m a visual learner and it really helped me see the muscles cleared thank you so much
Congratulations on your 14yr career! You’re doing something right if you’ve made it this long!!! I really appreciate your feedback! I have a new video premier tomorrow Friday July 9 at 8:00 pm mountain time. It’s a good Swedish massage video. No talking just music. Hope you can make it 🤗❤️
New viewer and new subscriber! Absolutely love your videos and your enthusiasm and knowledge. Watching you is also extremely relaxing. Thank you for passing on what you know! Look forward to more videos ☺️☺️
HI Maria, your video is my intensive reading class. From both prone and sidelying positions you give a detailed lecture on specific techniques to every single muscle of the back and also a lot attention to QL of hip hiker muslce, TRAPS of coat-hanger muscle, LATS of swimmer muscle. When it comes to trigger points, a massager shall never fail rohmboids, elavoter scapulae, teres minor，iliocostalis and serratus posterior etc. I especially like the finger circles/fingertips effleurage all way up to spinal process and longissimus. Dimple's Day 40 check in at the end of July
I'm so jealous of the person she is demonstrating on, why can't that be me? I've never had a good massage like this. They always hurt and make me tense up more in anticipation of the pain.
Oh that’s not good! Do you let the massage therapist know that it’s hurting so they can back off! The massage is about you & what your needs are! Let them know next time how you want the massage. You are the client! I hope you get the massage you need next time. Don’t give up on massage therapy it really is good for you. Create a great day ❤️🤗
you should tell the therapist to ease off, don't be afraid to speak up for yourself. A good therapist knows it should be uncomfortable but not painful. good luck on your personal journey
I am simply fascinated by so much knowledge and teaching! I am a very new therapist and your videos are for me the greatest positive example of technique and humanization. Thanks from Brazil!
i never did any of this anatomy, im not even a massage therapist but i know to do this and i help my friends with their backs and crack certain tight areas, i've just always been hands-on and learning as i go, i like learning new techniques :) thank you!
Yes yes... this is so anatomically spot on! She could take my anatomy test😂 Loved seeing this pov and how you don't need to go deep to relax the muscle
Really love this video👏I remember in our Anatomy and kinesiology class, we need to familiarize and identify the major muscle group and it's function but it's more awesome if our prof before include how to do the massage😂perhaps I am now too a massage therapist 🙂. Thanks for sharing this informative massage video.
Did you enjoy taking Anatomy and Kinesiology in school? I wish I could take my university classes again! I might pay more attention now 🤔😆. So what is your background if you’re not a massage therapist?
Leann Sarmousakis I’m so glad it helped you! I’m visual myself so I learn so much more by drawing them than from a book. Try it with washable markers. It’s fun! They do stain the sheets so use some old sheets.
Maria, I keep coming back to learn over and over. I am a pilates and yoga instructor and your videos are priceless to understand biomechanics. So grateful for your generosity and love to help others. The only thing I am sorry about is that I don’t leave near you! Maybe I need to just get on a plane for the great treat!
Wow, thank you! Your comment just made my day! I really appreciate the feedback because it’s comments like yours that keep me motivated to continue doing videos! Sometimes it’s challenging to stay motivated so people like yourself inspire me too! 🤗❤️
What a great therapist, very few like you in the world. We need so many more like you, l would definitely recommend for you to teach so many people out there your talents. Congratulations!!!!!
Thank you master, you are the best, The human body is the gateway to a temple of emotions sometimes the pain is not there we feel it, internal organs are also involved as well in case of stagnation of Qi channels (energy channels) Thtats way the whole human is treatable for painrelief...
Wow... thank you! I have been using nearly all of these techniques for 25 years and it was really validating. Love forearm work. Took a terrific class on it last year.
Congrats on your 25yrs of being a massage therapist! That’s a big accomplishment!! I’m so glad it validates your work! Even though after 25 yrs you don’t need validation. Your experience speaks for itself! Most massage therapists quit within 7 yrs!
I love that she talks about a raw chicken getting pulled apart. It’s a great example, but if I were the client, I’d be saying to myself “wait a minute....”
Muchísimas Gracias por tus vídeos. Soy masajista desde hace 8 años y sigo nutriendome de tus enseñanzas y que estén en español. Me encantan y me ayudan. Gracias por tu labor
Muchísimas gracias Laura por tú retroalimentación tan positiva!!! Felicidades por seguir aprendiendo! Eso es lo que hace una buena masajista! De dónde eres?
@@MassageTherapeutics915 Yes,your videos help me! I'm not a massage therapist but your videos help me understand why certain spots in my back hurt. I can identify which muscles need more stretching and strength training.
T W I’m happy to hear it’s not just helping massage therapist! I’m glad you’re taking a proactive approach because nobody knows your body like yourself! I hope you’re receiving massages to help you with your healing process. I’ve been thinking of doing a video on what to look for in a good massage therapist. Stay tuned...
Love this video I always use a small towel as a bolster under the shoulder to work round the rhomboids on the knots I used to fold the arm behind but I find some people don’t like it thank you for your awesome videos I keep watching them you are a fantastic teacher I may get your book by Amazon
Great idea! I only use it when I see that they are not as flexible. We’re on the same page! Not putting their arm behind the back! A small rolled up towel is the best
I really appreciate your comment! I’m very happy to read that they have helped you & that you incorporated some extra techniques to your practice!!! 👏👏👏
crazy4beatles 😂😂😂. Now I want to see MadTV haha. I’m glad it makes you smile. To tell you the truth I don’t know where I got the saying from yet I’ve been saying it for years.
This is good info, but no matter the massage, when i say ‘go deeper’ it really is necessary for me. I wont be able to tell you right away, but i will walk away with deeper muscles still untouched and tight. I will still be stressed,knots, and neverr fully relaxing.
I agree with you. I suggest you try different types of massage (Thai, miofascial, etc.) and different masseurs. And don't be afraid to ask to go deeper. P.s. sorry for my bad english, i am from Italy.
@MassageTherapeutics915 almost 2 months in and so far I love it! Most of my education is coming from your TH-cam channel, thank you for all this great detailed instruction! I am so grateful for you :)
@@jryder78 you just made my day! I know you are a great student because you took the initiative to look for supplementary education!!! Congrats! You’re going to be a great massage therapist
Great video! I am not a therapist but i love getting a massage . You are very informative and its always nice to learn these stuffs. Always had a problem with my left shoulder and i ask for the hard massage all the time but it really feels like i got beaten afterwards, nice to know you dont need hard massage to addresss the pain. You are doing a great job and dont mind the haters . Peace
Theresa Shimizu thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I’m glad you are learning that massage is not about how much it hurts or how deep they go. It is truly about how specific it is! It sounds like you might have some rotator cuff problems so maybe ask the next therapist to address the rotator cuff muscles. The medical massage or neuromuscular massage therapist do more specific work. That might be what you need. Best of luck to you and thank you for your support!
I would love if you could teach me, i want to learn i really appreciate you keep up the good work blessings to you always and for sharing with us. Thanks alot.
@@whsisgreat8622 we engage the nervous system from the onset of massage however we don’t want to stimulate the Sympathetic nervous system by going deep. You’re correct again about deep tissue massage thus the reason I don’t teach that. I teach around the Physiological laws such as Davis’s law, Arndt-Schulz law, Hilton’s law etc. these laws explain the relation of the body to the nervous system. Massage therapist want to engage the Parasympathetic system (rest & digest) instead. The Pacinian & Ruffini corpuscles are the ones that detect pressure in the skin so once again you are correct. As Massage therapist we also affect superficial fascia which peer reviewed articles substantiate that information. I have no doubt you were a good teacher. I’m glad you took up my suggestion of starting your own TH-cam channel. I have great respect for nurses & all they sacrifice to help & give to others. With everything going on in the medical field I wonder how you find the time to leave such lengthy informative comments. I can’t keep up with with all that I have going and I only have a Bachelors degree. I’m pretty sure your education is more extensive than mine. I sincerely wish you the best and send you a hug. We actually need 4 hugs a day for survival & 8 hugs for maintenance. I think we all need a hug!
I'm back to say this video (and the whole set) is epic. You are such a fantastic teacher.
Just saw my previous comment from years ago. Came back to this video because I figured out that pinching the area which is my armpit really firmly was great for the rest of my back. Now I know why! Origins and insertionnnnsss. LOL. Such a great series. Ever grateful.

It’s really all about the nervous system. Retraining & creating new pain free connections. Most people aren’t taught that unfortunately. You are very bright!!!!!
Great point. I have overworked ('cooked') a few of my clients, experienced it myself. It's not something I would recommend.
The C-shape tissue mobility you demonstrated is phenomenal.

No need to be so fancy it’s really simple & effective! I really appreciate your positive feedback and congratulations on your longevity as a therapist!!! I wish we could converse in person! Welcome to my channel ❤️
This is the most educational video on the proper way to give a massage I’ve ever seen! I absolutely love that you drew out the muscles on her back for us to visually see, I’ve never seen that done before, well done!👏🏼
Thank you very much for your compliment!!!! This is how I like to teach the visual learner students!
I really love and appreciate how you draw the muscles! Much better to get how to they go and how to work on them. Thanks a lot!
MONICA M. SANCHEZ you are welcome!!! It keeps me motivated when I know students are learning!
You draw them by hand?
Toni Tyler yes I have an artist that draws the muscles for me. If you watch the Burnout out video you’ll see him in the background painting the back muscles 😊
@@MassageTherapeutics915 outstanding video Love the drawing on the body. I am a novice at giving massage. I learn more from your videos than from watching 20 other teachers.
bristolstomp wow what a nice compliment! Thank you very much. I’ve been teaching for so long that I like to make it simple & focus more on the muscles! Best of luck to you & your continued learning 🤗
No matter what level of therapist you're at, this channel is sooooo helpful. So glad I've found it. It's calming to just have a video playing at any time. Whether for review, reminder or learning. Her voice just echos happy techs into the mind 😁🫠
I am so grateful for your awesome feedback!!! Glad it was soothing too. Create a great day
Yes I agree
I absolutely loved this video. I have scoliosis and work in front of the computer all day, and you touched on all my knots and trigger points! So enlightening to see what my physiotherapist is doing back there and visualizing the muscles.
And the best part, soooo interesting to hear about the nervous system too. I don't think most physios and massage therapists learn this nowadays. For most of my life I learned to champion through the horrible pain of a deep tissue massage, with countless therapists. Then my last physiotherapist just took it over the edge for me. For over a year she pushed on those trigger points with all her strength and there was just no progress, I just kept getting worse! But I used to think there was no other way around it. It wasn't until very recently that I found a new therapist that works differently and didn't put me through that suffering and worked the fascia and knew about not triggering my nervous system and my brainwashed self was skeptical at first but I'm finally starting to feel better and I now just want to send this video to every therapist I've ever known! 😂 THANK YOU!
I am happy to read that you found a therapist that doesn’t over work you & is helping you!!!! I’m sorry for the pain you’ve been through! I have a video that explains the physiological laws of neuromuscular. I’m sharing it here
th-cam.com/video/UJNYj0BgYms/w-d-xo.html
Great stuff. I'm going over that one and a bunch more of your videos. Thank you!
@@marshmalphas glad it helps 🤗
My students and I watch your videos in class and practice some of your techniques, we are located in South Texas. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the field of massage therapy, we appreciate what we learn from your videos!
Very respectfully,
Well-Known Reyes
Thank you for your support & feedback Well-Known Reyes! It makes it all worthwhile when I read encouraging words like yours! Please tell all the students hello 👋 for me. If you would ever like to set up a zoom with your class let me know. We could do a Q&A meeting 🤗❤️
love the music. not too loud, not annoying,...just right light and lively but not in the way or boring. I learned so much here.
craffte I’m with you on the music!!! I don’t play it too loud for my clients nor do I play boring music. I’m always searching for new music too to break up the monotony! Thanks for noticing!
Wow this is the best science based massagist channel I have ever seen before. Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom with us.
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate your feedback & support!
amazing, you are my number 1 on TH-cam for massage lessons
Thank you 🙏🤗🤗❤️
My god lady! You’re amazing! Thank you for drawing the muscle and explaining origins and insertions, I’m a therapist too and I love your knowledge, really inspiring, I hope to get to your level one day! Much love, Marco.
Hey Marco thanks for the feedback! I can honestly tell you that it took me years to learn them! I love helping my clients and that kept me motivated to continue learning. You will too. I feel your passion 🤗❤️
I appreciate your work and how knowledgeable you are. I’ve learn more watching you than I did in school. The way you teach makes it easier to learn and understand.
Wow I am very happy to know you continue to learn! You’re every teachers dream student! Thank you for your compliment and support. Create a great day 🤗
I learn from her every time. She helps me change the style from time to time, reminding me of the joy of my massage work 🙏
Thank you for the great compliment! That’s the goal to help massage therapist remember why they chose this career! We never stop learning 🤗
Great video. Thank you for drawing the muscles out. So helpful! I’ve tried to learn more about the back muscles so I can give a better massage to my wife. She’s a fitness instructor who uses those trap and rhomboid muscles a lot. She has a lot of knots that I’ve been trying to work out for her. Your tips will help a lot!
Your wife is a lucky gal! She sounds very fit too! I’m so glad you can help her out. Thank you for your feedback 🤗. Create a great day
The drawing on the back is so perfect! Finally I can really see what muscle is talked about and where exactly it runs - this is now my favorite massage channel! :) Hope this channels gets big soon!
Kaimura 92 thank you very much! I appreciate the positive feedback. I’m putting out as many videos as we can record. My original goal was 1 a month then it started picking up &.people wanted 2 a month and now it’s once a week! It’s been challenging since we all have full time jobs. We’ll keep it coming as much as we can! Enjoy. Share with people you know! This helps me so I can keep up the production! Thank you
Your videos are very helpful for us massage therapists..God bless you!
I love the way you teach ♡♡ after 13 years I learn so much from you. And I love to hear you also feel that pain os not always better...I tell the same to my clients ♡ thanks for giving this excellent free classes...much apreciated 🙏
Ann Wijns thank you very much for the lovely comments! I think a good massage therapist never stops learning so we’re in it for life. I’m very happy this helped too. Please share and help spread the videos. Best of wishes for you 🙏🤗
I do massage as a hobby with my friends and family and they are wanting me to get my license as a massage therapist. I truly appreciate your videos! I am a new subscriber! I look forward to watching ALL of your videos!Thank You!❤
Welcome to my channel & thank you for your support. There are several things to consider when choosing a massage therapist career. I suggest you ask as many questions as possible & if I can help you with any please ask. It’s important to weight the pros/cons for each individual person. Everyone has different needs/wants. I’ve been a massage therapist for 32yrs & I don’t regret it. I have a college degree yet I chose to stay in this career. I’ve had a lot of flexibility in setting my schedule and not stressed had I chosen to teach in a school setting. If your friends are suggesting it for you they must see several qualities already. Like you are probably good with your hands, compassionate, caring & wanting to help others. I suggest you call your state & find out what the requirements are. Then find a local massage therapy school because I’m sure they’ll give you more information and try to get you to sign up. Do your research well & you will know what the answer is. ❤️🤗
DEFINITELY LOVE THIS LADY, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF SEE HER WORKING AND TEACHING WITH THAT IMPRESSIVE PASSION AND WISDOM...THANKS FOR EXIST !!
Thank you very much for your passionate comments! You must be Latin American like myself ❤️🤗🙏🤩

Wow, I’ve been in Massage Therapist for 17 years and I just love watching your videos. You are fantastic knowledgeable and you make it so easy and fun!!
I’m so happy I’ve come across your videos. I will share this with others. Thank you so much for all your hard work. !! you are awesome! ❤
Congratulations on being a massage therapist for 17 years! Not many make it that long! I truly appreciate your feedback and support! Thank you for sharing with others & helping my channel grow.
I can only imagine how good it would feel to have a knowledgeable massage therapist work out all the tension in my back and legs !!
Those techniques she demonstrates on the models right side have got to do wonders !! 😌😌
I hope you get massages regularly! They are very beneficial to your body even if the therapist is not very experienced. We increase blood flow to the areas & that brings oxygen and nutrients for the body to heal itself. Your body is the real miracle! We just assist 🤗
Fantastic. I haven't been able to find an instructor on TH-cam that compares to my beloved teacher until today. Thank you for sharing your gift.
carissabtrose thank you for the compliment. There’s a lot of wonderful instructors with passion & so much knowledge! I’m very grateful for my instructors too. I’ve also learned a lot from students! Enjoy
Such a well shot video!
I’m surprised more people haven’t done the drawing on the back. A brilliant idea that makes everything so much easier to understand, thank you
That’s exactly what I thought! That’s the reason I decided to do it! Thank you for your feedback 👍🏼🤗
This is so helpful to me as a massage therapists. I learned a lot of new techniques that I will incorporate with my existing routines. Yes, never stop learning! You are very professional and so informative. I love the drawings that will teach us the muscle boundaries:) Thank you and bless you more to share with us!
Ruby Tolentino Sanches thank you very much for your positive feedback and I do plan to keep on sharing! Thank you for your support!
Thankyou. Very comprehensive tutorial & great teaching on the back muscles. I really liked the marking out of where the muscles are situated
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate the comment
I love how you mentioned the trigger points and the deep tissue. So many therapists just do deep up and down and hurt there clients instead of locating the trigger points glad to see another therapist that knows what they are doing
Thank you for the compliment!!! I was trained in Neuromuscular therapy and that’s what made the difference for me. Along with Tuina too (Chinese massage). Do you use Neuromuscular techniques too? I’m always interested in meeting fellow therapist 🤗
@@MassageTherapeutics915 yes I specialize in Trigger point Therapy since it’s all I come across now a days, sadly all my clients never meet therapist that do that type of therapy they all end up getting the deep tissue and they end up feeling worse afterwards, I have met a lot of traumatized clients because of it. Hard to get them to trust you to fix them afterwards
Maria, Thank you for such great details. Seeing the muscles as you worked them was extremely helpful and all the extra information you give is appreciated. I am in school right now, just finishing up my Swedish 1 class. I was watching to develop my own routine. Thank you!
Congratulations Karen on searching for videos to help you with your routine. That’s what a good student does! We don’t stop learning & we put in extra hours! Congrats on choosing massage therapy
I really love the way she draws muscle on the body It helps me easy to understand and remember muscles anatomy. Thank you so much for your video 🥰🥰🥰
You are very welcome. Thank you for your positive feedback and kind words!!!
This is wonderful. Unfortunately I get so many clients in the "no pain no gain" mindset, and no matter if I explain the benefits they feel they've been short-changed unless I go super deep and cause pain. It's frustrating since it takes a toll on me too.
I totally understand what you’re saying!!!! It’s very frustrating
I can relate as well!!
I tell my clients up front, " I'm a therapeutic massage therapist "
I refuse to hurt myself, for your pleasure
This is the discouraging part of being a massage therapist for me. Clients who want you to hurt them. If it's painful it's wrong
Glad I came across your video- for 25 yrs I’ve been over working myself. Love the details and the colored anatomy map.
The words were blocking some moments but I appreciate what I saw. Thank you
Congratulations on your 25 years!!!! That’s not an easy thing to say! I’m glad you liked the video. You can move the subtitles or the captions out of the way so you can see what I’m doing. You might need to ask someone how you move them. Depending on your computer. Or you can goggle it
😮💨All those aspiring massage therapist needs to come watch this. A lot of free information on what to do and it will also make you look somewhat legit.
Thank you!!! Hopefully everyone is a legit massage therapist 🤗
this lady actually knows what she's talking about, medically.
She’s so sweet!
Beats the absolute hell out of most of the incoherent rambling in most massage demonstration videos.
Very efficient in getting the body in the correct anatomic angles to find insertions
I love this! So informative, and I love that the muscles are drawn in the person! It’s so much easier to understand the anatomy that way. I love this lady, she’s a great teacher!
Inked Leo Thank you very much! Teaching is my passion!
Massage Therapeutics well you nailed it!
She is gorgeous teacher. Thanks so much. Bless you from spain.
Thank you very much for your compliment! Spain 🇪🇸 is where my ancestors are from! Vamos Rafa Nadal ❤️🤗👏
This seems like the most professional, informative channel on massages i have found on youtube so far. Very educational and the actual motoric skills that go into the techniques portraid in the videos come across as extremely well rounded and perfectioned. Thank you for the wonderful work!
I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such great feedback! You’re awesome yourself
As someone that has zero interest in using any of this information and just stumbled upon this video you do a great job in speaking in a way to keep it interesting and engaging to follow along. The illustrations are so useful to see on an actual body.
I really appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment 👏👏
You are such an amazing teacher. Please keep making content! I love and appreciate it so much!❤️✨❤️✨🥺
I appreciate the compliment! During these challenging times it’s nice to receive such positive feedback. All my college classes will be on line until next year so it’s a shame the students won’t benefit from first hand learning. I hope you are well & are able to get back to work safely. Thanks again for your uplifting message.
This is amazing! My hubs teaches a martial art and lifts weights and I'm always giving him massages. I want to be better. This video really helps me. Thank you.
Lucky husband! Congrats on your continuing to learn and grow! For me that’s what life is about. Create a great day
This is an amazing, educational, and informative demonstration of soft tissue techniques and myofascial release (myofascial release is my favorite technique). I'm currently an Osteopathic Medical Student, and though we get some training in soft tissue techniques, they are not our focus. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!!
Congratulations on your awesome journey!!! I’m happy to hear you are searching for soft tissue manipulation and found my videos!!! Thank you for your feedback. Coming from you it means a lot!
I love her approach to massage. In-depth. Knowledgeable. Healing. A therapist/teacher who remembers why they got in the game in the first place. And the drawing - genius. For us visuals, this is heaven.
Stacee Massey Stacee thank you for the best comment! You are what makes this process so worthwhile! I totally understand since I’m a visual learner too thus the reason I got the idea to draw the muscles... you’re a teacher’s dream student with your appreciation & kindness.
Можно га русскии язык этот урок?
Why not start school of massage and be the head teacher. Your amazing honestly I have never seen a teacher like you
I truly appreciate your kind words & feedback! I thought about that several times however that would not leave me much time for my clients. Even though during this Covid time it would have been difficult! I truly appreciate your support! I am very passionate about teaching, love the enthusiasm of the students! Stay healthy and strong ❤️🤗

Dominique Marshall yes it’s on the list!!! Next couple of months
Hi Maria just started watching you i have been doing massage for 14 years and love to learn new ways to work the muscle groups without going to deep on my client. Love how you show the muscle anatomy on the client helps see it more clearly. Your techniques gives me more varieties to help my clients with any problems areas.
Congratulations on your longevity as a massage therapist! You’re definitely doing something right! I’m glad the videos are able to help!!! Thank you too ❤️🤗
Also I have a client that has frozen shoulder I know there is a video of the rotator cuff but can you do another video on had to get frozen shoulder to release and have free rom like getting the arm behind the back and other movemen
@@jolenrsepe3841 I have 2 videos on this. The one I just released yesterday

Drawings makes imaginations more visible. Thank you. Wish you health, balance and peace
Erman Ezgin thank you so much for the blessings & well wishes! I greatly appreciate that 🙏. We need it since our team is having a few setbacks.
Wow can i just say thank you so much for the extremely informative video. I am very appreciative of that fact that you dedicated your time to explaining and showing us everything. Might start considering becoming a therapist or just a regular masseuse
Wow wow wow your comment just made my day! So you’re not a massage therapist yet you are watching the videos? I have a follower from Austin that told me the same thing. He was inspired by one of the videos & he’s currently studying massage therapy in Austin. You know massage therapy involves a lot of A&P, kinesiology, technique, intuition and of course heart! You can be the smartest person in the class however if you lack people skills or compassion or patience those students struggle after graduation. Yet some of the average students with intuition & drive do really well. I guess what I’m saying is that massage therapy is a wholistic approach and you don’t have to excel at anything in particular just be well rounded. I love what I do & wouldn’t trade it for anything else! I do hope you consider it seriously since you’re already learning. Did you know that massage therapy was part of the nursing program until it was removed in the 1970’s. We became our own entity. Best of luck and keep me posted on your decision!!! Create a great day ❤️
This video is great! I’m currently in massage school. We are very limited to what we are doing right now. I’m always looking for other techniques that will be useful once I am on my own.
Billy Jordan Billy I’m sorry I missed your message 3 weeks ago! I don’t know what happened. I’m so happy to hear that you’re currently in massage school. Where are you at & how many hours is the program? Massage students are the reason I started this TH-cam channel so you guys are dear to my heart! I’m happy to help with what I can. Thanks for leaving a comment & again sorry for the delay.
Massage Therapeutics currently we are in AP. This coming week we are taking tests on the skeletal system and the muscular system. I’m nervous but with 20 years of healthcare experience I feel good about how I will do. My program is in Dallas Hands On Approach School of Massage. I’m taking the 570 hour program with 120 hours of clinical internship. They offer this option to reduce tuition cost. It’s a great school with a long history. The owner sits on all the boards of Texas. He is great.
Billy Jordan that’s similar to our curriculum. In Texas it’s a 500 hr program so it’s nice that they offer you more internship hrs in exchange for reduced tuition. That’s really clever! Sounds like a great program. With your training in the health field I’m sure you’ll do pretty good since you probably already know the medical terminology. I have a Quizlet account for students that I set up with reviews on most of the A&P chapters. We use the Salvo book so if it will help you I don’t mind you using it or anyone else you want to share it with. My students really like to use it because they have different ways to learn them. I like to play Quizlet live with the students & it helps prepare them for the test. You can go to marianellynatera & it’s a little black panther. If you’re interested that will help review the skeletal & muscular systems. Good luck
@@MassageTherapeutics915 How to get through this Quizlet account?
Christiana Ranivondrahona marianellynatera. It’s a little black panther. You have to download the app first.
Amazing detail, thank you for sharing - I’ve learned so much 👌🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate your input ❤️🤗
Superb mam, the way you explained things made it very clear how to target important areas without causing damage to sensitive parts. Now I know 99% of the massage therapists from whom I took massage didnt really undergone the training in this scientific manner. Hats off to you. Loved it.
Wow. I truly appreciate your compliment & feedback! You sound like a very good & thorough therapist yourself 👏🏼👏🏼🤗🤗
Great video Maria. I like that you addressed the “no pain no gain” myth!
kim greenlee thank you Kim. Yes that myth scares me a little because most people don’t know about the neuro-muscular connection!!!
Excellent informative
Fontaine Higgins thank you!
You’re welcome
Agreed! I often find lighter and more methodical intelligent massages work better
Thank you for the guidance 🙏
I lost myself as a therapist 4 years ago. My Darling passed away 2 weeks from my graduation day! I took the MBLEX test and missed a few points so... I failed 😔 You hit the switch of light in me. My vision is still there 🤗😍

HI Maria, your video is my intensive reading class. From both prone and sidelying positions you give a detailed lecture on specific techniques to every single muscle of the back and also a lot attention to QL of hip hiker muslce, TRAPS of coat-hanger muscle, LATS of swimmer muscle. When it comes to trigger points, a massager shall never fail rohmboids, elavoter scapulae, teres minor，iliocostalis and serratus posterior etc. I especially like the finger circles/fingertips effleurage all way up to spinal process and longissimus. Dimple's Day 40 check in at the end of July
Congratulations on another month of studying! You’re going to graduate at the same time my students in the classroom. 👏👏👏 take care
@@MassageTherapeutics915 can't wait lol
I'm so jealous of the person she is demonstrating on, why can't that be me? I've never had a good massage like this. They always hurt and make me tense up more in anticipation of the pain.
Oh that’s not good! Do you let the massage therapist know that it’s hurting so they can back off! The massage is about you & what your needs are! Let them know next time how you want the massage. You are the client! I hope you get the massage you need next time. Don’t give up on massage therapy it really is good for you. Create a great day ❤️🤗
you should tell the therapist to ease off, don't be afraid to speak up for yourself. A good therapist knows it should be uncomfortable but not painful. good luck on your personal journey
I am simply fascinated by so much knowledge and teaching! I am a very new therapist and your videos are for me the greatest positive example of technique and humanization. Thanks from Brazil!
Congratulations on being a new therapist! We need more of us to help others! The world needs our positive touch for healing ❤️🤗🙏

Shaolin Sinclair I’m so glad this is helping you! I love Therapist that continue to grow & learn! I myself am one of them.
This video is helping my back by watching no lie
I’m happy to hear that!!!! Our body starts to relax when we see someone else relax. Almost like yawning! It’s contagious 🤗👍🏼
I love that she talks about a raw chicken getting pulled apart. It’s a great example, but if I were the client, I’d be saying to myself “wait a minute....”
Thanks for making me chuckle 😆😆😂😂. I’ve had comments that say it looks like bacon 🥓 & ribs 😳😂.
This channel and lady is the best... Lots of respect for all.
Thank you thank you so much Vointa ❤️❤️🤗🤗
Muchísimas Gracias por tus vídeos. Soy masajista desde hace 8 años y sigo nutriendome de tus enseñanzas y que estén en español. Me encantan y me ayudan. Gracias por tu labor
Muchísimas gracias Laura por tú retroalimentación tan positiva!!! Felicidades por seguir aprendiendo! Eso es lo que hace una buena masajista! De dónde eres?

Edithnef Ramos 👍🤗 I’m glad to hear it!
Massage Sloth sent me here!
T W I’m so grateful for his shout out! I hope it helps you
@@MassageTherapeutics915 Yes,your videos help me! I'm not a massage therapist but your videos help me understand why certain spots in my back hurt. I can identify which muscles need more stretching and strength training.
T W I’m happy to hear it’s not just helping massage therapist! I’m glad you’re taking a proactive approach because nobody knows your body like yourself! I hope you’re receiving massages to help you with your healing process. I’ve been thinking of doing a video on what to look for in a good massage therapist. Stay tuned...
@@MassageTherapeutics915 Thank you. A lot of us could use that video!
T W you are welcome! I’m happy to help
Amazing. You are the greatest
Leon Diyarian thank you! Hope this enhances your practice!
Love this video I always use a small towel as a bolster under the shoulder to work round the rhomboids on the knots I used to fold the arm behind but I find some people don’t like it thank you for your awesome videos I keep watching them you are a fantastic teacher I may get your book by Amazon
Great idea! I only use it when I see that they are not as flexible. We’re on the same page! Not putting their arm behind the back! A small rolled up towel is the best
I have learned a lot how to do medical massage from her videos.
I really appreciate your comment! I’m very happy to read that they have helped you & that you incorporated some extra techniques to your practice!!! 👏👏👏
Love your videos!!! Very Helpful for a student like myself. Please keep them coming
Jessa Quesada I’m glad they’re helping you. I love massage students so that’s where I got the idea to start the videos! Enjoy
I love that she says lotions and potions - reminds me of MadTV and I giggle everytime
crazy4beatles 😂😂😂. Now I want to see MadTV haha. I’m glad it makes you smile. To tell you the truth I don’t know where I got the saying from yet I’ve been saying it for years.
This is good info, but no matter the massage, when i say ‘go deeper’ it really is necessary for me. I wont be able to tell you right away, but i will walk away with deeper muscles still untouched and tight. I will still be stressed,knots, and neverr fully relaxing.
I'm with you on this one. I finally found a very strong remedial massage therapist abd she's remarkable. The others were pleasant but not effective.
I agree with you.
I suggest you try different types of massage (Thai, miofascial, etc.) and different masseurs.
And don't be afraid to ask to go deeper.
P.s. sorry for my bad english, i am from Italy.
@@flaviobaruffi1876 Your English is good. Only problem I see is your not supposed to start a sentence with and
Thank you for all your videos!!! Im a massage student and these demos with drawn on anatomy are the best!!!!
Glad you like them! Good luck with school! 🤗
@@MassageTherapeutics915 Thank you! 😊
@@jryder78 keep me posted of how you like it 🤗
@MassageTherapeutics915 almost 2 months in and so far I love it! Most of my education is coming from your TH-cam channel, thank you for all this great detailed instruction! I am so grateful for you :)
@@jryder78 you just made my day! I know you are a great student because you took the initiative to look for supplementary education!!! Congrats! You’re going to be a great massage therapist
Great video! I am not a therapist but i love getting a massage . You are very informative and its always nice to learn these stuffs. Always had a problem with my left shoulder and i ask for the hard massage all the time but it really feels like i got beaten afterwards, nice to know you dont need hard massage to addresss the pain. You are doing a great job and dont mind the haters . Peace
Theresa Shimizu thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I’m glad you are learning that massage is not about how much it hurts or how deep they go. It is truly about how specific it is! It sounds like you might have some rotator cuff problems so maybe ask the next therapist to address the rotator cuff muscles. The medical massage or neuromuscular massage therapist do more specific work. That might be what you need. Best of luck to you and thank you for your support!
I would love if you could teach me, i want to learn i really appreciate you keep up the good work blessings to you always and for sharing with us. Thanks alot.
Claudine Crawford it is my pleasure to share with you guys! Thank you for the compliment! ❤️🤗
The moment she said "i don't like to use the word deep tissue" i know this lady is a pro at what she's doing
Wow that is so true. You must be a very good therapist yourself if you picked up on that! Thank you 🙏😊
@@whsisgreat8622 we engage the nervous system from the onset of massage however we don’t want to stimulate the Sympathetic nervous system by going deep. You’re correct again about deep tissue massage thus the reason I don’t teach that. I teach around the Physiological laws such as Davis’s law, Arndt-Schulz law, Hilton’s law etc. these laws explain the relation of the body to the nervous system. Massage therapist want to engage the Parasympathetic system (rest & digest) instead. The Pacinian & Ruffini corpuscles are the ones that detect pressure in the skin so once again you are correct. As Massage therapist we also affect superficial fascia which peer reviewed articles substantiate that information. I have no doubt you were a good teacher. I’m glad you took up my suggestion of starting your own TH-cam channel. I have great respect for nurses & all they sacrifice to help & give to others. With everything going on in the medical field I wonder how you find the time to leave such lengthy informative comments. I can’t keep up with with all that I have going and I only have a Bachelors degree. I’m pretty sure your education is more extensive than mine. I sincerely wish you the best and send you a hug. We actually need 4 hugs a day for survival & 8 hugs for maintenance. I think we all need a hug!
