Pehaps leveling the table to the right height of your knuckles, palm or outstretch hand may help. Sorry for intruding unnotice, obgirl87.

well...i have to say a MT should always massage with loose wrists, this will avoid any future injuries or diseases such as repetitive motion movement "carpal tunnel"...also the massage is not given with force, is putting you body weight on to the person to give pressure, not muscle...i love the teacher who taught me this...she was my mentor once, and now she is in a pedestal!

YES! I SWEAR, at least HALF of the people on Youtube CAN'T READ! At least you're woman enough to ADMIT IT!

Don't mind me. I read it wrong.

YES! You NEED to REMEMBER to BREATHE in massage. IF YOU DON'T, YOU CAN DIE!!!!!

Stop breathing in Massage? wtf?

Hi tealeh2, Deep tissue massage can be done anywhere on the body. It's a technique with an emphasis on softening muscles and other tissue w/strokes that lengthen and broaden, break up adhesions (like scar tissue), and discover things (like trigger points-a whole other story) and release them. A lot of clients say it feels as if their muscles have been "worked" or "released." It can reduce pain and increase range of motion. Also, it can release toxins or emotions from the body. Hope this helps.

good i `m good masseur but i can`t find good work

That is it for a deep tissue massage??? Is it only for the back??

DT can be relaxing in fact, everything I ever learned about massage, and experienced supports the idea that techniques are much more effective if they are relaxing as well as properly executed. It just bothers me a lot this seemingly elitist attitude that DT is about getting muscles to "function properly" and relaxation is somehow a lesser therapy. What are the benefits of massage? Greater range motion, circulation, etc. Relaxation is effective for all that massage is intended for.

GO KISS A COW'S C**t ! l.

To be fair, going around shouting and swearing at people on teh interwebs isn't making you look too professional either.

Great overview of deep tissue work!...

Wow...sounds like you need a massage. Don't forget to breathe.

And while you're at it, lighten the F**k up.

shut the F**k UP! PEOPLE DO STOP BREATHING IN MASSAGE YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!!!

What is WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!????? GROW THE HELL UP!

F**k YOU people like YOU are why people don't RESPECT the PROFESSIONALS MASSAGE THERAPISTS ARE so F**k YOU!!!!!!!!!

seriously

yea she can

first she can deep massage my back .. then deep massage my private area with her mouth.

I have FMS/CMP and I do TPT on myself (hoping to get a therapist soon), and afterward I am sore. During the treatment it can be very painful, depending on the severity and the number of knots in the vicinity. This treatment is not about relaxation, but getting the muscles to function properly again. It is very effective.

"Remember to keep breathing." I think we've all learned something here today.

8... no 7 years old. Did I get it?!

you're an idiot
