Yes, try massage schools. For example I go to the trios college, the massage ls there are $30. Yes, and depending if the student is a junior or senior, you can either way get a good massage 💆♀️
Your energy is so pure and the epitome of what a male massage therapist should be embodying - you clearly payed attention in anatomy and kinesiology and it shows through your work. Super cool, I'm learning a lot here.
I'm in massage therapy school and I'm amazed how relaxed you are energetically through all of this. Massage school is so intense I forget to relax so its sooo nice tuning into your intentions thank you!
@@thomasrios5072 omg i have no clue, i sometimes think about it and im just amazed i got through it and actually graduated and got my license... I think more than half my class dropped out and didnt graduate, we also did it through the height of covid where we couldnt massage anyone for 3 months which is why but still, it was so intense! I wish you luck!! study study study!
Im not a professional massage therapist but i have been practicing for over 7 yrs now. Then i came across your videos and they have been very helpful in my massage journey. Thks for your service and videos to get better techniques..
Really great tutorial! I find this more helpful than an 8 hour continuing ed class. While this is close to the back routine I already use, it has some great reminders about body position, hand position, fascia, etc, and a reminder to SLOW DOWN...although honestly it's impossible for me to do a 60 minute full-body massage going that slow, unless the client has a tiny body. I tend to get more "bang for buck" with deeper tissue pressure in the common areas; rhomboids, etc., to make a client feel more "done" at the end. I work in a high-end spa and that's what most people expect. I would love to see this exact type of video for each body part!! Arms/hands, Glutes/legs/feet, abdominals/psoas, and neck/occipital. Thanks so much!!
Thanks for the great feedback, Karina! I'm definitely planning on continuing with other regions after seeing the response :) You make an important point about clients needing to feel "done," and of making sure to meet the expectations of clients in different settings. While I do think that a therapist could use this slower work in a spa setting, it might be good to include some faster-paced connecting strokes and to target in on those crowd-pleasing areas of the body. Thanks again for the thoughtful comment!
I appreciate all of your videos. I'm a massage therapist, and you have given me so much more than all the teachers at school and all the ceu's I've taken. I haven't ordered your book yet, but as soon as I get the money, I will. Thank you for all you do in spreading your wisdom 🙏🏽
I’d love to book an appointment with you 3X a week not only because your hands look like they feel DIVINE but because you are a pure loving soul and I love your energy! 🥰🙏🏾
I studied swedish massage in a French school and we called Myofascia "Fasciatherapy" I once went to the massage therapist who applied Myofascia on my back it felt amazing and he did just like you very slow movements stretching and releasing the fascia. Thanks for the demonstration and the explanations I learn a few things especially the ergonomic posture. And the fact that you did not focus on the rhomboids was refreshing and an interesting approach to avoid giving the clients pain the day after the massage. Thank you so much!
Great video, I used to be a massage therapist 7 years ago, and had to stop due to finding out I have a bad spine... yeah... had to find out after I became a LMT! So I wasn't able to uphold a career in it. But I've since found someone I love very much and wanted to re learn massage therapy for her, and watching this brought back all kinds of learning. I even still have my massage table, I am so glad I didn't sell it. Thanks for the great video Ian!
@@MassageSloth Very incredible experience learning Massage Therapy. LMT's always get a bad rap and seen as not effective, but it's amazing. I miss getting massages and giving them. So I'm excited to dive back in, just finished your myofacial release for headache video. It's so neat how it's all coming back to me. Thanks for the videos. Subscribed for sure.
Thanks for making such great videos! I'm not a professional massage therapist, but just interested in learning some massage techniques and I love your style of explaining and demonstrating and narrating.
I have to tell you. Since I’ve found you on here I have been using your tips and my clients are loving it! I generally work at a slow pace. I recently graduated a year ago and have been mobile practicing. I always been told more pressure 🙄 I watched the way you do the scooping effect and I have gotten so many compliments so thank you 🙏please make more videos!! You’re amazing. I prefer your method.
I'm just starting out in my massage therapy program and really appreciated seeing your routine, both the audio part and the only visual part! This was really helpful as I feel overwhelmed by the muscles in the back region!
Congrats on your new journey! I remember that feeling of overload. Just realize that the info your hands give you is just as important as what you learn in the textbooks, and each source of knowledge will enhance the other. Your hands will make you more book smart, and your book will give you insight into new and interesting ways of interacting with the body. Good luck, have fun!
Thank you for making me fall back in love with massage. 1 year being an aesthetician and not doing Swedish massages on a daily basis, but learning a TONE of new moves and techniques from the senior massage therapists has ironically left me feeling inadequate and all over the place with my own massage as I’m trying to do too much and copy their style because it looks amazing (silly I know). It has left me always running late into the treatments and feeling anxious throughout the whole process. Your videos have thought me so much, and I’m forever grateful. You’re a wonderful teacher. Thank you ♥️
Massage Sloth Thank you, and thank you for making your knowledge and skills accessible to all of us. It has made me fall in love with the body and its muscles, and helped me take a step back and really think about what I’m doing when massaging. Did my first massage using some of your techniques today, and it worked wonders, for both the client and myself. Again, thank you. Have a wonderful day ♥️
6 stars instructor! I am in the field messaging variety of individual in NYC, and I find that the more I learned from you and put into my practice I'd become more confident with basic techniques and most importantly more confident to being creative. thank you!
Thank you for this! I recently just started my first job as an LMT and I felt like I was falling into the same routines and I really needed some inspiration. Really loved your techniques and how you explain everything in correct anatomical terminology. Definitely need to brush up on my anatomy. 🙈 I'll try and incorporate some of these techniques into my next session!
Dude this video has really improved my life. I am a life long educator and the way you provide instruction makes it almost effortless to render a soothing massage. In the past my girlfriend has actually stopped asking me for a massage. I've sent her to the spa and secretly envied (pun intended) that I could not fully satisfy her desires for relaxation. Massage Sloth You're the Real MVP! #DoingitRight #MassageMaster #GotMyBabyBack
You're awesome! So skilled and so good at teaching your techniques. I'm realizing that becoming a massage therapist is something that I want for my future and seeing how you do your work is inspiring 😊 Not one client leaves disappointed I'm sure!

Yeay...... i missed you..i watched every video you made....i love you. I own my own practice and my clients love me because if you..may GOD bless you...
i love watching you, ive been trying to get my boy friend to fix my back for me and by us watching you and how you do things it makes it so much easier,so now he knows what i want , so thank you. but i still call the things knots because thats what they feel like lol.
I have been trying to watch your wonderful video since I received the notification but I been busy.. but here I am watching it at 2:20 am. You are a wonderful massage therapist I just love the way you work...
Dude this is an awesome technique! I need to practice patience and try not to rush it. I'm about to start massage school and very excited about it. Watching your hands move this slow over her back in real time is like watching galaxies expanding through space. Beautiful!
@@TalentedLMT yes I did complete the 10 month program. Got licensed last January and have been working at a spa since. I’ve been doing it as a second job on the weekends. It’s great being able to help people actually feel better.
Hey Ian! Thanks for another great video. Your videos remind me to just slow down, I think that is just as important as technique. Can't wait for the next video!
How have I only just found your videos??! Amazing! Love how you work and made me realise I am actually using a few myofascial techniques in my treatments without even realising! Thank you :)

it is realistic and very real for people who simply take good care of their bodies to then have healthy, fit bodies. It is basic cause and effect of the choices one makes.
@@heahea2327 but that's not most people. The only people I really encounter who have perfect, healthy structure are my really young clients (20 and under) and people who are just lucky in that they don't have a very static or very heavily physical job.
I agree. Most of the massage demos on utube are on people don't show any tension to start with compared to the people I work on. I'd like to see some of this work on bodies where the tissue doesn't just flow around his tools lol.
I imagine most folks who carry tension, or have no concept of stretching before engaging in heavy physical activity (such as myself), would be flailing on the table and screaming their brains out in pain, as soon as he puts even the lightest of pressure on a sensitive area, such as the calves.

Lol it's kinda funny how real, top notch, effective myofascial work doesn't look visually dramatic like the crap they show on TV shows or movies :D Great videos! Many thanks :)
swedishish - haha, very informative, thank you. melting, curiosity, intention. good stuff. I like your explanation of fascia. I've read about it, but I think I might actually be able to explain it to someone else after watching this.
Hello Ian, thanks for another invaluable video. Your style and approach really resonates with my own. It is so wonderful to see that being shared in a such a professional and thoughtful manner.
I haven't even watched your video yet but I am really glad to see you! Was concerned about you and whether or not you were in the path of Irma. Quite relieved to see you! 💖
Massage Sloth Heavy sigh of relief!!! BTW, It's still on my bucket list to receive a massage from you! And, no-----that NOT why I'm glad you're okay! It's just that I got a soft spot in my heart for you.

Can't afford massage session for myself, but it's still relaxing to watch someone doing it. Imagination is the key
Do you have a massage school in your area? They do massage at a reasonable price.
@@kbencsik1 Awhh 🥺🥺 thank you for the information I'm glad you help someone 🥺💗
Yes, try massage schools. For example I go to the trios college, the massage ls there are $30. Yes, and depending if the student is a junior or senior, you can either way get a good massage 💆♀️
I do the same

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that the quality of your questions heavily influences the quality of the massage and that the goldilocks zone of pressure is the primary gauge when working with fascia. One quick question: on a patient who has whole of body tightness and evidence of myofascial adhesions practically everywhere, where do you start? I have found that it is most common that the most superficial layers require deliberate attention before one can "tease out" the deeper layers. I have opted to work from the scalp downwards when there is no obvious starting point (though I will alternate directions if it feels like tension or tone has changed asymmetrically or tightened up other areas as a direct result). Cheers!
