You and Ian Harvey….I have learned so much from you two. I have been a licensed massage therapist for just under a year, and these videos are wonderful. They refresh and expand my knowledge, making me a better therapist in the process❤❤❤
Congrats on your recent graduation from massage school. Ian is the one that introduced me on TH-cam! Thanks to him I am here. He is pretty awesome! I appreciate the compliment too. 🤗
I’m so appreciative of your compliment!!!! I hardly get compliments on the ambiance or color combinations so for you to notice means a lot! You have an eye for detail! Thank you for noticing that I do take time to create a space that is Zen! I’m a girlie girl too so I think about the scrubs, sheets, nail polish, vases, plants etc. Funny enough someone else noticed the ambiance in my Christmas ASMR video too and left a comment today. Great way to start the year! I appreciate you ❤️🤗🥳
Another excellent video released by a great teacher! Thank you, Maria for sharing such a precious information that help us improving our techniques! I am very grateful each time I watch your videos. God bless you and your amazing calling!🙏❤️
María Isabelle I truly appreciate your compliment. It brings so much joy to be able to share what I know about what I love. Everyone takes away what they need! It is such an honor to be able to reach people from around the world! Create a great day 🤗❤️🌻
Thank you Will! I do enjoy teaching very much! I think it’s very important for massage therapist to use the proper medical terminology. We have to raise our game if we want to be able to communicate with the medical field…create a great day
I'd never before been taught to put the client's head into lateral flexion to hide the carotid artery before working on the SCM. I actually avoid this area because I don't want to cause damage - this is invaluable advice and makes perfect sense. It's a game changer. Thank you so much!
I am so happy to know that this made sense to you & that you have more tools in your practice to be able to help your clients! They are very fortunate to have you as their therapist who is still willing to learn & grow! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🤗
I really appreciate your compliment! I think being professional is one of the most important qualities of a good massage therapist! Thank you for your support
I never see like this educational all videoes, l learnt a lot,,, its soo clarity explanation,,, also easily to understanding thanks soo much my dear tutor 🌹🌹🌹
i love these videos. I'm not studying any of this and don't plan to have a career down this path.... but this teacher.. she's so interesting and soothing 🥺 I could watch these videos for hours
Благодарю вас видео, буду предлагать своим клиентам. Познавательно и полезно. Благодарю вас. Желаю вам выздоровления. Пусть всё пройдёт наилучшим образом для вас ❤❤❤
Ho fatto una scuola molto rinomata in Italia di massaggi ma da quando ho cominciato a seguire i suoi video la mia tecnica è migliorata molto. Ammiro la sua passione e la sua conoscenza soprattutto della anatomia del corpo umano. Lavorando in ospedale non credo di aver conosciuto nessun con queste conoscenze. La ammiro ed è diventata la mia mentore da un po di anni. La passione e la sua generosità nel condividere è rara. La ringrazio e la auguro buona vita. Elena.
Elena grazie per le tue gentili parole! Amo davvero quello che faccio e ho continuato a crescere e imparare attraverso i miei 33 anni di essere un terapista. Credo che siamo miracoli che camminano da quando insegno anatomia e fisiologia. Persone come te rendono utili tutti i miei sforzi! Questo mondo ha bisogno di più persone come noi
Great video, so much fun to watch some of my favorite moves. Love Occipital release hold and neuromuscular hair pulls. A good face and head massage is priceless. SCM work and so much more like Gliding down the lamina groove ❤What is so much fun is I am shaking my head yes yes that is so true🤓
Inspirational excellent teaching in relaxed manner to understand the concept with comfort. You are massaging the mental and physical.👏 elegant in birth eternal in worth got meaning by you.
I really appreciate your compliment! It’s a pleasure to have you on my channel ❤️🤗. Do you actually live in Hawaii? My mentor lived there for several years.
@@HawaiiHolisticHealth that’s wonderful! I’m in El Paso Texas. My mentor who’s the instructor of medical massage will be going to teach a class in Hawaii at the beginning of the year. You should check it out at @therapyedu.net.
Hola profesora es un placer verla, sus masajes son excelentes me deja la mejor enseñanza me encantaria escucharla en castellano! Abrazo desde Argentina Buenos Aires!
Hi I love all your techniques. A'm a massage therapist for over 10 years your drawings of the muscles and explanations as to what you doing is amazing. I help my clients better and as why A'm doing what A'm doing. Do you have online classes?
Congratulations Marsha on being a good massage therapist for 10 years! We can change the world one massage at a time. I’m working on having some CE online classes but it’s going too slow! 🤗
:) Hia I adore these videos and learn so much, I was wondering if you plan on doing (or have already done ) a video on explaining knots in muscles, stress relief and ways of reducing tension and inflammation. I struggle daily with stress knots in my shoulders and was wondering what I could do to relieve them? Thanks so much , looking forward to rewatching all your content!!
Hello creative cookie. I hope you are receiving (trading massages) since you have so much stress. So let’s break it down & see if you can figure out what’s causing it. Do you have good body mechanics when you give a massage. Dropping your shoulders & not looking down so much? Are you working too many massages in one day that it’s become an overload on your muscles? Do you work out & have proper body mechanics? I do have a few videos where I talk about how to work out trigger points by applying pressure for 8-12 seconds then repeating if necessary. I’m pretty sure I have a video on back massage. I can’t remember exactly because I’ve made over 100 videos. I know in this one I specifically show how to treat the upper trapezius & release some trigger points when I showed the myofascial release of upper Trapezius 13:25. I hope this helps you and remember to take the time to care of yourself & get massages!
@@MassageTherapeutics915 Thank you very much for responding! My posture is not the best which might be adding to it , I also crack my back up to 5 times a day to relieve aches which could contribute . I am thinking of going to a massuse or chiropractor :)
I’m so glad you’ve figured out what might be causing it! Popping your back up to 5 times a day does not sound like a good thing. I think getting massages regularly & watching your body mechanics would really help you. Taking care of yourself is very important! You know average time of a massage therapist is only 7 years because they burn out & end up hurting their body. If you want to last longer than that in this industry you need to take care of yourself! ❤️🤗
Love your techniques and all your videos. I am waiting for the lymphatic drainage massage and how to set the table for clients with tummy tuck and BBL.
I really appreciate your support! I don’t specialize in lymphatic massage 😞. Maybe I can get my friend to do a video for us. For tummy tuck I use the same draping that I use for abdominal massage. You can either use a hand towel or a pillow case. What’s BBL? Sorry it’s not clicking lol
Oh I’ve never worked on anyone who had a BBL. I would say just drape them to where the client feels secure. Tuck in at the waist & lower thigh. Thank you for explaining
I think I did a video on that massage sheet draping & folding. It’s under the playlist of massage talk. I hope it helps you. Thank you for your feedback
Hello from Germany, You seem to be such a beautiful Soul. Wish I could come one day to you to experience your Massage. Thank you for all your Love and wisdom 🌈❤️
Thank you Mirja for your kind words! I do love what I do & take pride in giving my best. Now it’s time to share it with the ones that appreciate it 🤗❤️
Curious, but have you noticed any trends of issues on clients over time? Like we're there areas that rarely had complaints when you first started but now are very common?. Great content!
I think that throughout the years I saw a trend of neck, shoulders, upper & lower back and forearm pain. These were common and they still are however what I do notice is that they are getting younger when they come in with these injuries. 30 years ago it was more people in their 40’s & 50’s with these issues. Now I see it clients that are in their late 20’s & 30’s! They are overloaded with work & stress! Hope this makes sense 🤗. Good question!
It depends on the client. I specialize in neuromuscular so I mainly have people with injuries & I spend the hour addressing those muscles. This is more for a Swedish massage.
I have not seen some of those techniques, so thank you so much! Occipital hold, to me, is when I can feel the energy flow between myself and the client. I have a question, Do you find that your clients often get very emotional or have visions? I have also had clients that start giggling a lot when I do an occipital hold. This will sound strange, probably, but I often have a vision or a phrase or a word comes to me when I get to a trigger point, especially if it is one of my adult children or I feel very strong energy with a client. My instructor said that was normal. She asked me to tell her after a lab session what I felt. When practicing in lab, other students said that they had an experience when they were my client. Do you know if that is actually normal?
It sounds like you are very intuitive. What modality of massage do you practice? Yes It is normal for some clients to have emotional release remember that muscle has memory. I have found that it is an individual thing. Some clients may never feel anything like that & some are sensitive to that. I think our specialty attracts the type of clients we have. I focus more on injuries so I attract that type of clients. There’s nothing wrong with being sensitive to a clients energy. I think that is wonderful! You’re probably an empathetic person too.
@@MassageTherapeutics915 good question. I have just become comfortable with saying that I am an empath and a healer. That really is not saying anything about myself, it is about something I love and don’t understand. I am glad I found a place where I am able to help. I soaked up every word I was taught, I had never heard such important information before. I am not sure what modality I would consider it, because it depends on the person entirely. I guess I would say that I would begin with Rolfing, if my client did not have a specific reason they came to me. Balance is HUGE. Unless I can be sure that I have someone coming in regularly, I can’t do that. I do deep tissue, something that I notice is that so many clients have so much tension in their neck and scapulas. If I let them leave without being able to get my whole hand under their scapula, I have done them a disservice. When I get a client that is used to just a Swedish massage, i secretly roll my eyes. There has to be something. I get that some people like that, but someone else can do that, my job is to heal something. I love working on the interspinales muscles, actually. I am a big fan of doing at least a lymphatic drain on anyone if I have 5 minutes. Greatest purchase I have ever made was to buy printable water bottle labels with my name and phone number on them, because hydrating after a lymphatic drain is so important. I am really sorry that I keep writing a book every time I comment. I just love what I do, I miss it so much. I will get back to it. Through moving from state to state and 6 times once I got to my home state, my massage table and my textbooks have been the things I will not let go of. I have seen how it heals. I am just glad I have been able to lend a hand in that. Or two.
@@Queen_of_Hearts-Sharnell it sounds like you definitely need to get back in business. The world needs you specifically right now! So many people are so stressed out! You have what it takes & that’s the passion to help someone heal! We’re mere tools assisting in their healing. It’s a shame that you have moved around so much and not been able to set up again. I hope you do it soon. Do you need to acquire more hours in your state in order to practice again? I know all states have different hour requirements so make sure you find out. I love the idea of your labels on a water bottle! That’s a great way to advertise! We just give them the water bottles from Costco 😆. Best of wishes for you!
You cannot see the image of the neck massage, because they place the translation and cover the maneuver. It has happened on repeated occasions, so that you keep it in mind. Thank you
Thanks for mentioning it a few times since others might also not know that you can drag placement of the subtitles or captions. There’s a way to do it in your computer. All computers are different so please ask for help or ask Google
As a client, I'm not a fan of the occipital hold because it's painful. Every therapist I've had, it feels like they're aggressively digging their fingers in. They always do a static hold, too.
It’s unfortunate that nobody has been able to listen to your feedback & lighten up the pressure! It shouldn’t hurt. If they’re hurting you they’re not making the massage about you & what you need. You probably need some sub occipital work. You need to remind the therapist that relaxation comes from the nervous system! If they’re hurting you that’s not too relaxing 😱🤗❤️
As a massage therapist at the beginning of every session, I remind the client that massage should not hurt. I ask the client to communicate if an area is tender or painful so that I can decrease the pressure.
Halo dear. Thanks always for teaching us . I am really learning a lot from u Now am asking,. How do u dear with men who turn massage as a romance and they want to have sex with that person who is doing massage ?? And why is it happening to many men
This is a sensitive subject so I hope I can give you some insights. I recommend you read my book “Massage Basics for Massage Nerds”. I explain in detail how one should conduct oneself to be a professional. Setting up your business to have a professional experience. You do not allow personal conversations. If they start behaving out of line you inform them immediately that you will stop the massage if it continues. You’re never alone in the building late at night with a male client. You set business hours. You dress properly and professional. Remember you are in control and should not allow the client to take control of the conversation or massage. If they continue or are persistent you can report them. Specially if you work for a chain of massage establishments. If you are self employed you terminate services and don’t schedule them again. I hope this helps you.
Adore your videos. I know nothing about massage, but I find your content so relaxing and educational. Only issue with this one is the audio for some reason.
It’s so nice to hear feedback from someone that’s not a massage therapist! I’m happy to know you find them relaxing & informative. So please explain what you mean about the audio? So we can learn for the next time. I think we used the wireless for this video. I appreciate your feedback 🤗
Yes, it was probably white noise. Reminded me of TVs in the 90s when there was nothing on the channel and you’d hear static. But regardless, thank you so much for your therapeutic content. It’s been a blessing to learn and relax so much during these COVid times. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@santropixie5140 you remember the static on the tv when they would go off the air??? Kids now days have channels available 24-7! When you would fall asleep & wake up to white noise 😂😂😂. Thank you for the fun comments

You have what it takes & that’s the passion to help someone heal! We’re mere tools assisting in their healing. It’s a shame that you have moved around so much and not been able to set up again. I hope you do it soon. Do you need to acquire more hours in your state in order to practice again? I know all states have different hour requirements so make sure you find out. I love the idea of your labels on a water bottle! That’s a great way to advertise! We just give them the water bottles from Costco 😆. Best of wishes for you!

Buenos días María,es una pena que no tenga traducción,son excelentes los vídeos ,pero necesito entenderlos😭😭
Hola si tiene subtítulos en Español! Por favor dime si los encuentras. Gracias
You cannot see the image of the neck massage, because they place the translation and cover the maneuver. It has happened on repeated occasions, so that you keep it in mind. Thank you
Thanks for mentioning it a few times since others might also not know that you can drag placement of the subtitles or captions. There’s a way to do it in your computer. All computers are different so please ask for help or ask Google
As a client, I'm not a fan of the occipital hold because it's painful. Every therapist I've had, it feels like they're aggressively digging their fingers in. They always do a static hold, too.
It’s unfortunate that nobody has been able to listen to your feedback & lighten up the pressure! It shouldn’t hurt. If they’re hurting you they’re not making the massage about you & what you need. You probably need some sub occipital work. You need to remind the therapist that relaxation comes from the nervous system! If they’re hurting you that’s not too relaxing 😱🤗❤️
@@MassageTherapeutics915 Thank you! I'll keep this in mind next time I go for a massage and try to gently tell them to lighten up.
@@apriltini you’re very nice. Maybe let them know ahead of time so they know how to adjust. Good luck!
As a massage therapist at the beginning of every session, I remind the client that massage should not hurt. I ask the client to communicate if an area is tender or painful so that I can decrease the pressure.
👍👍👍
Muchas gracias
👍👍👍

@@vivianabrun5231 que bueno!!!! No todos tienen subtítulos pero muchos si! 🤗❤️
Halo dear. Thanks always for teaching us . I am really learning a lot from u
Now am asking,. How do u dear with men who turn massage as a romance and they want to have sex with that person who is doing massage ?? And why is it happening to many men
This is a sensitive subject so I hope I can give you some insights. I recommend you read my book “Massage Basics for Massage Nerds”. I explain in detail how one should conduct oneself to be a professional. Setting up your business to have a professional experience. You do not allow personal conversations. If they start behaving out of line you inform them immediately that you will stop the massage if it continues. You’re never alone in the building late at night with a male client. You set business hours. You dress properly and professional. Remember you are in control and should not allow the client to take control of the conversation or massage. If they continue or are persistent you can report them. Specially if you work for a chain of massage establishments. If you are self employed you terminate services and don’t schedule them again. I hope this helps you.
@@MassageTherapeutics915 ohh❤️❤️❤️❤️, thenk u very much. Am gonna read that book. Thenk u mama 🤗🤗🤗
👍♥️🙏
Thank you 🤗❤️
Adore your videos. I know nothing about massage, but I find your content so relaxing and educational. Only issue with this one is the audio for some reason.
It’s so nice to hear feedback from someone that’s not a massage therapist! I’m happy to know you find them relaxing & informative. So please explain what you mean about the audio? So we can learn for the next time. I think we used the wireless for this video. I appreciate your feedback 🤗
@@0THC0 that was the air conditioning that kept going on! It was a hot day! 😱
Yes, it was probably white noise. Reminded me of TVs in the 90s when there was nothing on the channel and you’d hear static. But regardless, thank you so much for your therapeutic content. It’s been a blessing to learn and relax so much during these COVid times. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@santropixie5140 you remember the static on the tv when they would go off the air??? Kids now days have channels available 24-7! When you would fall asleep & wake up to white noise 😂😂😂. Thank you for the fun comments
Good job 👏
Thank you 🤗🤗🤗
