The Truth about Massage Techniques Video
The Truth about Massage Techniques Video talks about the fact that even many of professionals focus too much on massage techniques. I'm not saying that massage techniques are bad, but the fact that you know how to do a certain massage technique does not make you a great massage therapist yet. You need to know when and where to apply it. My motto was always to learn new massage techniques only, if I have successfully mastered the one I have learned before.
I'm actually only use very few techniques in my practice, but I know how I can use them. I am even sure that if you would really understand what a person needs by looking , hearing and feeling your common sense will tell you what to do.
But unfortunately most of us are not sensitive enough and we are not in a perfect world with perfect senses, so massage techniques help us to increase our sensitivity. But never overestimate massage techniques. Per se they do little.
My chinese massage teacher always used to say: "If you know where to treat, you can use your thumb, fingers, hand, elbow. You can even use your hand, a cane, a ball pen. And if you don't know, the best massage technique will not help you."
That's why it should be very encouring for beginners. Massage is 90% listening, and 10% technique. So everybody who is serious will be successful.
