I'm a beauty therapist and recently started doing massages at my clinic , I love giving massages and was looking for some advanced techniques to improve my services and you played a big role and your videos been very very helpful, Thanks

[@touchmassagebodywork9660]

I've been Binge-watching your videos! Really enjoy your techniques and teaching style. Also - your voice is very soothing. Great job! Thanks.

[@MassageSloth]

Touch Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork, L.P. I'm being binge-watched?! That's awesome. You're awesome.

[@jorjiegirl3629]

[@jenniotero1933]

Watching/listening while doing massage school homework... thank you for your amazing tutorials!

[@marciadunn6223]

Love this video. Face, scalp, neck are so important for relaxation, headaches, etc..

[@jennifercastillo3046]

Getting back to massage in the industry been off and on, this video is amazing!! :))) thank you sm

[@VampyreBarbie]

Unintentional ASMR right here!

[@shadowrider541]

Thank You for sharing ! I have many of your videos saved - I like the way you teach !

[@mysilkysounds]

I love your videos! I found you while I was looking for something to help with TMJ and I love all your videos, just wanted to let you know:)

[@vgpriceless]

Thk you again for such awesome instructions! Should you decide to do another face/scalp massage video - would you consider a client with very, very short hair so that we can continue to see you techniques (hands)? p.s. I still loved this!!

[@micaeladechaves5333]

Just watching this made e relax so much ! Thanks, you're an awesome sloth =]

[@rebel2809]

not interested in actually becoming a massager, but your videos are SO helpful when i need to release some stress

[@gailmciver1440]

Thank you. Really enjoy your teachings, so informative and I learn something new every time! I have just began on my journey as a masseuse and Its really useful to have the details as it also educates the client..... This just occurred to me today following a session when asking if she wanted to book in again, I was asked the question, will it be of benefit to me.....? So, the next video is all about, The very many benefits of massage......❤

[@EmorettaRobinson]

Do you take on clients? Because I'd really like this done! It looks so incredibly relaxing. I'm low key surprised that she didn't fall asleep! Lol! I've said this before but it bears repeating, I enjoy watching your videos. The way that you calmly explain the process and techniques that you use is refreshing.☺

[@hejratkhoramkhel1461]

Doing this for mhy dad because he had head day at work ❤

[@malachirzlewis7335]

My parents are gonna need THIS 😆👍👌

[@havenlyshamblin9033]

Beautiful healing process!!!

[@babymae2222]

She's got this eternal slight smile on

[@melissar3825]

This video is amazing. I have had bells palsy for 5 years now. I think this might be a good option? What do u think ? Thanks in advance.

[@MassageSloth]

I've seen a number of clients recover from Bell's palsy symptoms under my care. I can't say for sure whether my work helped (the symptoms are usually self-resolving, so I don't want to take the credit), but I feel fairly sure that I didn't impede their progress :) My recommendation as a massage therapist would be to try some gentle, slow facial work on a daily basis and see how things progress. I've got a fairly recent video on TMJ self-massage (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eouQepmEfrV5jq8) that is a good example of how I'd approach self-massage in such a situation (or you can follow along with this face massage video). Basically, work gently, give your facial nerves some new and interesting stimulus, and see what they do with that input. If there's ever any pain, either back off or discontinue. Feel free to get back to me and let me know how it goes!

[@thelearicist]

Dude has an army of fun women. Love it

[@danielvillar839]

Are you familiar with cranial sacral therapy? What's your thoughts? And if you DO perform this therapy, will you be making videos on it? Great videos by the way!

[@MassageSloth]

Daniel Villar Thanks Daniel! I enjoy receiving work from CST practitioners, but I'm not trained in it. I'm hoping that more of my fellow MTs will jump on here and tell us their secrets!

[@gemmarex821]

Christina's scream at the end made this video for me

[@jamiecee4960]

That is what I'm doing with my hand held massager. Though it feels good when someone else is doing it. ☺️♥️♥️ It feels so good. ☺️😘 That massage looks nice though. ☺️

[@davidcottam7431]

Well Christina stole the show with that "Hi", there, didn't she.

[@gluntford]

you have a lovely voice. like bob ross or something.

[@amandamayhue9057]

I definitely use this video to fall asleep to

[@YogaconNathaly]

Thank you so much ❤

[@beauthera]

Can I ask when you have a client do they book a general “full body massage” averaging on 60/90 mins or do you customise your treatments per client/booking depending on what they present with? I’m just thinking 60 mins I find very short to incorporate the full body especially if they are presenting with issues on particular areas. Any suggestions on how best to offer these services? Thank you in advance 😊🙏🏻

[@sunnyadams5842]

I'm super interested in learning same ❤️

[@ewelinamudy9588]

Thank you ❤

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I need this done on me. Are you a massage therapist that is not taking on new clients or are you an instructor? Also is that normal for massage therapists to not take on new clients? I find it odd. But maybe it's a good thing as in business is good! Is there a screening process for someone looking for a good massage therapist?

[@MassageSloth]

I mostly look for someone who has been in business for a few years, and who does a reasonable job describing their massage philosophy on the website. I'll go see anyone who includes a video demonstration of their work, that can be a huge help (this tends to be more common on people's Instagram business pages). I do see new clients, look me up if you're ever in the Huntsville, AL region!

[@EmorettaRobinson]

@@MassageSloth thanks for the information and advice. Btw for an Alabama person you don't have much of a southern drawl. Lol! I was born and raised in Florida (no longer live there) neither do I 🙂

[@bloop6461]

Who else gets anxiety when you know the model has makeup on and they’re getting a face massage 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@janetthoke6326]

Very good . Thank you.

[@annea549]

I;ve read that you need to hold myofascial stretches for at least 5 minutes to be effective, but you seem to go faster than this? Thanks

[@MassageSloth]

You will likely get some additional benefit from longer holds, but the body is always listening to stimuli and making changes accordingly. I say play with different durations, especially when working with clients who are willing and able to communicate their experience. Real talk: I love myofascial release, but a lot of the underlying theory and the rules surrounding it seem a little superstitious to me.

[@VickiChristchurchNZ]

A question Mr Massage S: how about myofascial release for the tongue? For singers?

[@sabadidarzadeh3128]

great videos

[@happycakes1946]

I just started watching these. You seem to have a lot of friends, if I learn massage I make lots of friends too?

[@MassageSloth]

I admit, I'm exaggerating :( Some are chums or pals.

[@sunnyadams5842]

Actually, yes! That can be a fringe bene of practicing massage therapy. One side of that coin is the caution to be careful of 'massage sluts' as I've come to call this sort of 'friend'. I'm sure you can fill in the details. Basically, if you begin to suspect that if you weren't a massage therapist, with novice boundaries around the work, this person might not ever call again, you might possibly be correct. The other side of that coin, that I can pass on from lotsa experience over the years, is that when you and friends share massage, friendships deepen and become much, much more than the sum of the parts. Happy Rubbin in 2023💜

[@popebotchoi]

2015 😢😢

[@margaretcarnan3023]

this for my wife and she was so nice and not nagging me the rest of the day and this only took me 15 mins or so . well Definitely

[@becabreros]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@alexey11980]

Face massage with full makeup?!?!

[@MassageSloth]

In my experience, it's only a problem if they're wearing a foundation that keeps my fingers from gliding. As far as massage goes, come as you are.

[@Chronically_ChiII]

I need a massagerrrrrilfriend...

[@jackiemackiewicz7568]

Too slow and boring.

[@borntobebroken]

pressing so hard your fingertips go white wth man, why does everyone seem to forget what a human is when they learn to massage

[@candysweet434]

Kms yeah he’s applying pressure. i mean what do you think a massage is

[@kimberlytrent5245]

Lol it's called pressure. People don't just want lotion rubbed on them lol...
