I've been coming back to this video for years and it's amazing how much you can do in under 10 minutes. The thing I like most about this video is that you're giving a vigorous massage, not like some of the other videos where the therapists are gentle and don't really get into those muscles. Great video, keep up the good work.
I’m a massage therapist who uses ‘vigorous’ massage techniques sparingly. With all due respect, you can sink into a client’s muscle tissue while still keeping the massage predominantly gentle. It’s all about precision touch and pressure, at the right location for just the right amount of time.
I hardly ever comment on massage videos. I usually watch them before bed. I specifically like yours because of your enthusiastic energy, and how you care for your client, or friend/family. It's a comforting feeling watching this video. Thank you for sharing!
I'm going to show this to my Mass/school teacher and ask "Why wasn't I taught chair massage like this "?? Learnt more in your 10 min video than numerous classes. :-( THANK YOU !!! ( firmly now locked in my Favorites )!!!
Great video. I really love this because you explain why you're doing your movements instead of just playing music in the background. Really educational, really awesome. I hope to see more from you in the future!
Merry Xmas Susan Salvo♥️… if you ever see this message just know that this video has been helping me fall asleep for almost a decade. Love from Chicago.
Excellent video. This has to be the most aggressive and satisfying chair massage I've ever seen. Am I the only one who loves the sound that results from massaging someone over their clothes? I have a very specific shirt I wear to work on massage days, simply because I love how the material sounds under the therapist's hands. Anyway, please post more videos when you have time -- I think you do an awesome job.
Love this video! I can almost feel the massage, it looks heavenly. You have a great personality and I enjoyed listening to you talk about the different techniques that were used in this video. Thank you!
I attender her 6 month program in 2007-2008 and LOVED IT!!!! Susan is an AWESOME TEACHER! and her daughter is brilliant in A&P!!! I miss going go class. I learned so much. READ HER BOOKS! she knows what she's talkin about.
Just wanted to leave a comment because my boyfriend just massaged me whilst following this video as a guide and I feel amazing right now! I really do! Thank you!
I rarely watch massage videos all the way through, usually just skip through for a quick review, but your excellent technique and great sense of humor made this video very entertaining as well as informative. Especially loved your "pop up" comments. :) Thank you for reminding me how to do a good chair massage.
thanks Susan. of the many videos from many practicioners I have seen you are the best! Been to over 20 massage therapists and still trying to find the right one. guess my standards are so high thanks to you. all the best both personally and professionally. will let you know if i ever find ;the one'.
LOVE the reach under shoulder/scapula technique!!! Also the occipital/trap movement was Wonderful!!! Nice combinations !!! The finger rotations works wonders as well!!! I need to work on a smart way of using my thumbs, cuz I get carried away sometimes and definitely feel it for the next few days. I'm going to try your Technique where you lock the thumb and use your arm and body weight to apply pressure. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this video I have learned a lot !!!🙏
More videos PLEASE!!!! @ the school i went to we used one of your books Ms. Salvo and thats the one i used to study for my boards test and passed YAY :D
hello I work in washington dc at the Dulles airport at a place called 10 min manicure and i do chair massages all day and i have used some of ur techniques and especially the arm to minipulate the scapula. I thank you for this video you are the best, i look forward to see more work. Thanks so much.
Awesome video thanks! I need practice w my chair massage (almost done w school 12 more weeks :) ) we only had a 30 hour class about it and haven't really had a lot of event practice and this is just what I needed thank you again!
Thanks. I was massaging a person yesterday (on a table) who told me that he did not like chair massage, to which I replied, "I bet I could change you mind." ; -)
Hello Ms. Salvo. I have watched many different massage videos, and this is my very favorite.The massage seems very relaxing, and I'm sure your client Alisha would agree. I always watch this video when I am stressed out, It always relaxes me. I must say that when it comes to massage, you are quite the expert! I read about you on your school's website, and I was very impressed by all your accomplishments and experience. I also like how you throw in a dash of humor in your videos. Thanks -Peter T.
Thanks for the upload Susan. I'm planning on enrolling in a massage therapist school here in upstate NY this year. I truly believe thid profession will be my career. I love giving them just as much as I recieve them. Please show some lower back techniques in the near future.
This is the best chair massage Ive seen and I have like 1000 massage video favorites. I really would like to have this massage. I have trigger points from long hours at the computer.
What an awesome massage - and a fantastic massage therapist. This has been very helpful in giving some pointers for me. Thank you for the explanations too! Very clear and helpful. You really know your stuff!
Most of the people who sell chair massages at the mall are a bunch of pushy and annoying hacks who can end up doing more harm than good. This lady obviously isn't one of them and this video is a perfect example of how a true professional gives a chair massage in the correct manner. Kudos.
I never studied this, but with enough books, practice for the past 15 years, and vids like this, I basically use the same techniques, same movements. In fact, within 5 minutes my lady friends are already asleep. This and a bit of Chiropractic adjustments are best.
Hello Susan. This is one of my favorite chair massage videos. I especially like it how you absolutely straddle the back with your hands, almost as if showing no mercy. It creates a very warm fuzzy feeling just by watching it. Also you have nice,big,shapely hands which I believe imbues the sense of an extremely strong grip every time you squeeze a certain muscle. I love it. Please try to upload more videos more regularly.
This helped so much for me to review :) Its been a few days since we had this stuff demonstrated to use at school so I was starting to forget and now we're doing it hands on tomorrow and I couldn't remember the stuff..yaay now I can practice on my hubby before class in the A.M. :D
Hey Susan, great video. We have an outreach today at 1:00 at Auburn University doing chair massages. This really helped me learn some new technics. Also, do you have any comments or thoughts on how to avoid being gentle/timid and learning how to take control of the body when massaging on the table. If so, could you please do a video or comment back? Thank you.
Susan, thanks a million for this video, I will be starting up shortly with an Oakworks Chair myself, all the tips you give here are really great! Kudos!!! 5 Stars!!!
Hello Susan! Your techniques, especially your ability to find these very common points of pain and muscle knots, is great. I adored watching you use your elbows to release the taut knots. I need to find an LMT like you to do exactly that for me. The one problem I face is that I have extreme chronic pain in my levator scapulae/trapezius/rhomboids (+15 years) and a nervous system issue where incredible intense pressure in my problem upper back areas do NOT cause me any pain. It doesn't matter how much pressure is applied, it does not make me wince at all. What do you think that means?
Thank you so much for this! I am mid way through school so your focus on body mechanics was most helpful as well as ideas for strokes for the chair. I'm attempting to develop a "program" for chair massage; thanks for the great ideas.
U certainly know what your doing. Most don't realize chair can be both therapeutic & a great marketing tool. Realize it isn't just their technique. If your not prepared to continually market yourself, forget it. For those considering massage School DO YOUR HOMEWORK! The quality of your education is paramount 2 your success. Before U speak to any school 1st go in & get an actual massage at sev. Many schools run an affordable student clinic. Wish I where in LA because this lady is a PRO!
Hi! I hope you get to see this. I'm an 18 year old college student. I was carrying a very heavy bag when I was a 9 year old elementary student and now my right shoulder burns when I do extensive exercise or hold it in one position too long. Is there any way to recity the problem a little or is it something I just have to live with?
Any suggestions for questions to ask when looking for a place to get a massage? Just some things that'd help me avoid sketchy places or someone who would just halfass it. My GF used to give me backrubs but as my work got more physically demanding I seem to come home with knots and sore spots in my shoulders and back all the time and she works all day too and doesn't want to spend an hour a day working on my back.
Thanks so much for posting !! The best chair massage instruction I have seen . I didn't care for chair massage in school but you can reach a lot of people who may not go the traditional table massage rout ... ok i'm motivated again : )
I want a chair massage so bad now lol. I go to Everest Institute in Dearborn Michigan. I'm in my second month already. And the 20th of this month is are Field trip and were going to do chair massages for people. So excited and cannot wait.
need to have you provide us a full body massage video. Your technique is busy but so fluent-something almost contradictory. Can't help but impose your method on the imagined self. You leave me assured you'd do more for me than my very capable current therapist. If your ever out to Canada-specifically the Niagara region post it! I'll gladly share my credentials and expertise with you. Wonderful instruction

I've been watching this for years now and it's quite honestly still the best chair massage session I've seen on TH-cam.
Same here!
This and the palm leaf chair massage. Both still have yet to fail me.
Wish she would post more videos - she’d get millions of views.
Totally agree!

Best on YT even after 11 years. Hope you and yours are well, Susan.

I am a chair massage therapist. Her technique is very good, best that I've seen on youtube by now :)
The natural rock thats created in this massage is what sets it apart from other vids. Amazing!

Especially loved your "pop up" comments. :) Thank you for reminding me how to do a good chair massage.

The techniques shown, together with the explanations gives a true and fair view over these types of massage. Thanks!

Years later and i still come back to this chair massage. It's unmatched ♥️
Your style is very Tuina! :) Which I love giving & receiving. Thanks for the upload/post.
Best seated massage video I've seen yet. Very informative and motivational - you make it look easy when I know its not. Thanks for uploading it.
I hope to during the next student clinic (May/June). Any ideas?
Man, my whole back was tingling while watching this. Amazing job!
Awesome video thanks! I need practice w my chair massage (almost done w school 12 more weeks :) ) we only had a 30 hour class about it and haven't really had a lot of event practice and this is just what I needed thank you again!
Wow...watching a good massage is almost as relaxing as receiving one.
I've watch this vid about 10 times...nice work.
you are such a great teacher mrs susan...
This is the first time i have seen a chair massage demo that makes me want to get one :) Thank you!
Thanks. I was massaging a person yesterday (on a table) who told me that he did not like chair massage, to which I replied, "I bet I could change you mind." ; -)

Very great chair massage techniques. From one therapist to another :) Namaste!
Great videos!! I am a Massage Therapist, I'm petite and sometimes have a hard time with large clients, any suggestions?
Fantastic massage video! Very relaxing & informative.
I adore this one, Susan :-))
Thanks!
Thanks for the upload Susan. I'm planning on enrolling in a massage therapist school here in upstate NY this year. I truly believe thid profession will be my career. I love giving them just as much as I recieve them. Please show some lower back techniques in the near future.
after a hard day all i have to do is watch this video and i feel so much better...thank you...
This is the best chair massage Ive seen and I have like 1000 massage video favorites. I really would like to have this massage. I have trigger points from long hours at the computer.
Great demonstration....but one question, who massages the masseuse?
What an awesome massage - and a fantastic massage therapist. This has been very helpful in giving some pointers for me. Thank you for the explanations too! Very clear and helpful. You really know your stuff!
This is awesome just by watching I fall asleep .I want to have a massage from her that looks relaxing .
Great video and perfect explanation. Thanks for the effort ma'am. You're obviously one of the best therapists!
Most of the people who sell chair massages at the mall are a bunch of pushy and annoying hacks who can end up doing more harm than good. This lady obviously isn't one of them and this video is a perfect example of how a true professional gives a chair massage in the correct manner. Kudos.
NAH SHE'S TOO ROUGH, NEVER LET THE CLIENTS HEAD AND NECK SHAKE THAT MUCH
thank you very sharing ur knowledge, keep posting more videos
Great tips! I use my whole body, too!👍🏼
I never studied this, but with enough books, practice for the past 15 years, and vids like this, I basically use the same techniques, same movements. In fact, within 5 minutes my lady friends are already asleep. This and a bit of Chiropractic adjustments are best.

I thought her pace was just right for a professional. This video may not be easy for a beginner to watch only once. Great review material.
i got one of these at the mall a few days ago. It's great for sore muscles due to working out!
Thank you very much. I love to hear when veiwers are learning (or reviewing) from the videos.
The masseuse has great massage hands. Roughens the whole back up! Relaxing to watch.
Thank you. We are delighted that you enjoyed the video
Really help me
Hey Susan, great video. We have an outreach today at 1:00 at Auburn University doing chair massages. This really helped me learn some new technics. Also, do you have any comments or thoughts on how to avoid being gentle/timid and learning how to take control of the body when massaging on the table.

The attitude that you approach your work is paramount. If you project confidence and trustworthiness, it is easier clients to relax.
i have your book, well i use it for my massage school. love it!
That massage looks awesome. Wish I had that in my life.
I keep coming back to this particular video, as watching it is enough to make my back and shoulders feel awesome.
Thanks alot ~ I bet She can't wait for me to try these out the next time we meet ;)
Susan, thanks a million for this video, I will be starting up shortly with an Oakworks Chair myself, all the tips you give here are really great! Kudos!!! 5 Stars!!!

That's awesome. A chance to practice and polish your skills. Good luck and have a great time.
I love the closing movements. What is the specific word for percussion
Love the video Had your book when I was in school
@LAmassageschool Do you have to make an appointment for a massage or can you just walk in to a spa and say I'll like a massage?
You are so right - the chair just moves with the massage, unlike a table.
That was fantastic, keep up the great work.
@LAmassageschool Thank you for your answer, any suggestions when you are working with large clients on the massage table?
Love it!!! I'm considering reposting this video with lullaby music playing in the background.
Thanks for posting this. Please demonstrate lower back and leg massage with seated massage clients. Thank you.
This was so helpful. Thank you for posting this.
You are really good! I watch this and just watching it relaxes me alot.
Thank you so much for this! I am mid way through school so your focus on body mechanics was most helpful as well as ideas for strokes for the chair. I'm attempting to develop a "program" for chair massage; thanks for the great ideas.
Oh wow 11 years ago. I'm sure u aren't in school anymore!
Fantastic massage and technique :) Thanks for posting!!

Yes, the scapula moves are my favorite. But the suboccipital moves are my second favorite - have fun doing chair massage tomorrow.
Thanks so much for posting !! The best chair massage instruction I have seen . I didn't care for chair massage in school but you can reach a lot of people who may not go the traditional table massage rout ... ok i'm motivated again : )

what kind of massage is that? I'm interested in getting a massage :-).
Great video. I love the firm massaging. You really sound and look like a profesional.
need to have you provide us a full body massage video. Your technique is busy but so fluent-something almost contradictory. Can't help but impose your method on the imagined self.

I like your scapula work
Glad you like it!
What a great demonstration, thank you. Makes me wish I was in the LA area so I could visit your establishment.
