Nice,can I aware about direction of the massage neither towards heart or not

[@pressurepointtraining4535]

That is more appropriate for effleurage techniques on the limbs - always work towards the body/heart. For more specific work on the back it won’t really affect blood flow towards the heart

[@lindygeraghty833]

Thanks for this! Really helpful!
What oil did you say you use?

[@pressurepointtraining4535]

I use NAQI Sports Massage Lotion

Fab video as always! Where, did you get your face cushion from?😊

[@pressurepointtraining4535]

Thanks Aby, it’s a gel face cradle from Amazon

Another great video Claire, super helpful and informative. Thank you

[@pressurepointtraining4535]

Thanks Helen, I’ll be releasing one every weekend so lots more to go!

[@akeemlong6317]

Curious about percussion. I didnt see that used at all. Would it be useful or not?

[@pressurepointtraining4535]

I would use it for a pre event massage to stimulate the muscles but not general treatment - though you can do!

[@zaraaustin4589]

Can I ask where you get your slimmer face hole cushions from please. I swop between face hole and craddle as the craddle has more padding by I prefer to work with out the craddle. Many thanks and love all of your video

[@pressurepointtraining4535]

Hi Zara, they are called gel face cushions, really comfy and stop the client getting a red line around their face! Cost about £18 from Amazon
Thanks Clare

[@zaraaustin4589]

Thanks Claire will pop on and order a couple. Thanks for your latest videos ❤

[@pressurepointtraining4535]

Thanks for watching, next week is bony landmarks and the knee!

[@haleyfox6215]

Hi! Does a separate step need to be done to work teres minor? Or are you hitting it when you work infraspinatus here?

[@pressurepointtraining4535]

Hi Haley, teres minor runs along the lateral edge of infraspinatus so same technique

[@starstruckt]

is this not just a deep tissue?

[@pressurepointtraining4535]

Sports massage and deep tissue are very similar, these are just a few techniques used
