Why free massage video clips
People always ask me: "Why free massage video clips? Why don't you charge something for it?"
I always say: " I think massage is so wonderful, that I would like to give this gift (and that's what it is)to other people, who would not consider paying for it or attending a massage course, even if they could afford it.
I have found massage to be very bonding for relationships and can release tension in stressful situations.
Massage is preventative, but also a great first aid tool. To be a little bit provacative here, I think it might be even more necessary than CPR, because more people seem to stress in life or seem to struggle with things than to actually ever need CPR. No question CPR is very valuable and should be common knowledge, but I think massage should be too.
Our massage video clips can maybe help not just to give people a taste of what massage is able to do in their lives, but also to do that in a very flexible and entertaining way. You can watch the clips over and over again at the convenience of your home, office or even on vacation.
We could increase our well-being and reduce medical costs all with the power of our fingers, hands, elbows, forearms, knees or feet (depending on the style).
It gives us an opportunity to connect with our own body and become aware of how people feel, what they like and what they dislike.
The benefits of massage are vast. Here is a little clip that shows that:
I hope that people all around the world (no matter if they money or not) will take the opportunity and tune into our free massage video clips.

Can massage be too hard?
Is it possible to cause some damage if you massage too hard?
Of course. Even the toughest muscle can be injured, if enough force is used.
But the question is always: Why would you want to massage too hard in the first place?
What happens when you press hard on a muscle? The muscle will tense up in an attempt to try to brace the area and protect it from harm.
And this is exactly the point why massage that is too hard is not effective.
Massage is supposed to get tension out of the muscles, not cause tension in the muscles.
So by massage too hard you are not just working against the tension that is already present in the muscles, but also tension that you brought about by using too much force.
You need to back off if you want results!

How much pressure should you apply?
Over the years I have seen many therapists, who have a feeling that a massage is more effective the more pressure they use. They try to force tension out of the muscle.
But in fact muscles even though they can handle quite a bit of pressure are sensitive to pressure and you don't need to squish the muscles to have an effect on them.
My motto is: Go as light as possible!
This doesn't mean you should not squeeze at all or just pet somebody on the shoulder, it means that to find the right balance of pressure.
The right pressure is like the key to a door. Too much pressure will lock the door, because the client will tense up, too little pressure will not do anything.
So how do you find the right pressure? I want you to try something out: Let's say you are massaging the back. Put your hand on the back muscle, apply pressure until you feel resistance in the tissue (meaning you feel there is a barrier), then back up from that just a little bit and hold it there.
What happens? Do you feel the tissue relaxing? Great, this is the right pressure.
Imagine the muscles on the body as layers. You go from superficial to deeper levels.
Many therapist try to go through the tissue all in one go, but that's not really working. There is a key for every layer of muscles. So you have to be patient.
It might take you a little bit in the beginning to be confident about that, but in the end you will have much better results than many therapists out there.
It is simple, because it appreciates the intelligence of a person's body. Good luck!

Massage Therapy for Laymen
Is massage therapy really hard to learn?
I have received emails from a few different people around the world, who were very happy about the fact that www.Free-Massage-Videos.com is offering free advice and techniques in a way that everybody can easily understand.
People were complaining about the fact that many therapist use all these latin words and have a hard time to actually bring across the actual essence of massage.
I have been thoroughly trained in massage therapy, medicine and exercise physiology, but unless I am reading medical studies or am talking to a physician or a fellow massage therapist about specific treatment options, there is no need to dwell in a sea of technical terms or anatomical names.
My experience is that the essence of massage is touch. It is the connection between two people and exchange of trust and responsibility. "Ok, I let you touch me."
And closely connected to the touch is your ability to listen to the body of the other person and to what the person is telling you. This will guide your touch to possibly create healing of some sort.
Free-Massage-Videos.com puts a lot of effort to give you just the basics and the confidence that you can do it. I've seen many people learn to massage and learn to love massage, because it was not something abstract, or something erotic, no because it was a way to communicate and care for other people.
I encourage people to learn simple massage techniques, no to become a great therapist, but to be able to do something nice for others.
One of my clients used to say: "Better a bad massage than no massage."
This is an important message and shows how massage therapy can be good for all of us.

Face Massage - Facial Massage Video
Face Massage (Facial Massage Video) is a very important part of Classical Massage, but there is one thing that I really want to emphasize. No question it is part of the whole body. And I don't know where it came from, that some people just don't do it.
Some of my early clients told me that they do not want to be touched on the face, but it turned out that massage therapist before me used to much pressure or used a lubricant that was too heavy and clogged the pores.
My main concern when I see therapist working on the face is a lack of hygiene. Women spend a lot of time to keep their face look young. They use moisterizers, anti-wrinkle cream, eye balm, lip balm and many other products.

So if the massage therapist comes along and performs his full body massage and massage the face without washing his hands after doing the rest of the body and especially the feet, many women will just be grossed out.
You have to treat the face like a special area, then your face massage will be very appreciated.
(Btw this is also true for guys these days)
