I've noticed many of the students are having the same issues when they're massaging. Don't get me wrong, you guys are doing fantastic! But I notice I get asked the same questions over and over again, so I wanted to post a couple of videos to help you out. That way, you have access to the help you need at home, not just in class.
The top video is a draping demonstration for the leg while the client is in prone position. Even I have difficulty with this sometimes. I don't know if it's posted in eLearning, but it's a GREAT video. Watch it as many times as you need to and practice, practice, practice!
Supine Leg Petrissage
I couldn't post the second video on here for some reason, so click the link above. This video demonstrates how to properly petrissage the leg. I have a lot of students ask me for feedback on petrissage and this video shows proper hand placement and body mechanics. Notice how she moves from her lower body? I hope this helps!
This last video is kind of lengthy but very worth it! A former instructor (Rachel) demonstrates some strokes for a supine leg. She is an excellent massage therapist and this video should satisfy some of the questions I've been getting for more specific strokes. The beginning of the video is mostly the foot; if you want to skip straight to leg, skip to about 4:30. She also demos how to petrissage.
I hope this helps! Enjoy your day :-)
