thanks tehgreatist
I just suggested that there should AT LEAST be an explanation (at the beginning of the video) about warming up the muscles which the therapist plans to do deep tissue.
I didn’t go to school for nothing.
I mean, c’mon ppl why the thumbs down?? would you like it if someone just dug their elbow into your muscles without any light massage first..?
just ponder that thought***

@jcricket67… when it comes to doing work on the back you can work in any direction necessary to the technique you are using b/c the muscles in the back go in different directions as with the feet and hands there is not specific direction to go in. Also with deep tissue you can work against the flow at certain points b/c they are slow movements that will not cause the blood flow to be blocked or slowed down

Elbows on lower back is a no no. esp if someone has lower back pain, no feedback with elbows, only use hands.

Overall not very professional, draping not well presented and most importantly when doing pressure work you should ONLY ever work in the direction of the heart as you are influencing blood flow etc……
