Its All About Time, Angles and Pressure
17 November 2010How long do you spend on each technique? Do you take the time to slowly access the underlining tissues to make a bigger impact on the effect of the massage?
Most clients that are sports or exercise orientated will allow not just a full body massage, but the sports focus treatment as well. This takes using more time to slowly and deliberately access the deeper layers.
When I was in school the LMP’s that came to the clinic would always give me the feedback to slow down, and sink in to the tissues. Now that I have graduated I am always giving the exact same advice to student massages and some graduated students as well. When you take the time and use this knowledge your massages will be more meaningful to you and the client. Always accept feedback from client when trying new techniques, then adapt and utilize this information in your ever changing routine.
