I'm in massage school. It's my 3rd day! I'm already dreaming about the future! I'm now going to watch your videos before I go into school. 1 step ahead of the game.

[@hopetrailers9024]

You have no idea how much of a gift this video is for me. My mother's illness is undiagnosed but her body is swelled up and is loosing strength. Alot of times her feet get really white and she wasn't being able to stand up. I performed this massage and it worked! She actually got up. Thabk you so much for this and explaining with such percision

[@user-bo4zz5yk6g]

Wow

[@jesuslanderos3351]

For some reason I fall asleep while watching this kind of stuff looks so good and relaxing.

[@beckyvelasco6836]

Me too 🙌🏻

[@legionofyuri]

Have you searched for ASMR yet?

[@nupurkundu2026]

Same here

[@ceejay2030]

I always do too!

[@ACTHEGOAT]

Lucky you, I'm here cause I got a calf strain and I can't walk straight 😂

[@duanegibson2472]

This was a care and exquisite tutorial in such a brief amount of time. I greatly appreciate your care and thoughtfulness given not a complete class. I trust you will continue your studies beyond RMT/LMT. You will bring a lot to the profession and clients!

[@nicholaspetre1]

Perfect! The only detailed massage on achilis that I could find on youtube. 5 stars! God bless the author!

[@alihakim5924]

Just to see you doing a massage, i can feel how comfortable it is. I definitely would choose you to be my massage therapist if only you were near. Thank you for sharing your technique. Two thumbs up.

[@Bella3587]

I very much enjoy ALL of your videos! I will be done with my massage therapy classes in 5 weeks! AHH! The painting videos are so helpful to actually SEE on a human body, in plain view. I'm thinking of doing this myself. I'm a visual learner as I feel most body workers can be. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR TIME AND SHARING YOUR KNOWELDGE! -Meghan Crystal

[@adamreeves2408]

Thanks so much for this Allison. I've been looking for some myofacial release vids to help my partner's achilles injury. I find some of the 'pure' myofacial techniques a bit hard to administer (and a bit boring!), but your oil-based approach I can really work with. I'm a bit rusty with my massage these days, I trained in Tui Na over 15 years ago, and haven't been doing much of late. I'm coming back to massage with a beginners mind (although have massaged many hundreds of bodies). I REALLY like your style: deep, flowing and elegant. Also a lot of therapists on KZbin seem to only give a little away (then sell you), but you are very generous in your sharing. Thanks a bunch! Adam, Brighton, UK.

[@RebelMassage]

So glad this is helpful for you Adam! Good luck getting back into the world of bodywork. I definitely believe that the more we, as MT's share, the more the world will understand how important our work is, and the more all of us will benefit. Thanks for the post!

[@Samijoeee]

I did this to my calves after experiencing soreness and it helped tremendously!❤

[@johannariboulon5440]

[@jamesharding8639]

Thankyou, your videos are so explanatory and since i am a visual learner this helps that much more. I wish i could get a massage from you!

[@morganefutile]

thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge !

[@zombienation13]

I want this lady to massage my calf muscles. That looks like it would really help with my constantly tight muscles from running.

[@pauldentler7127]

Do it yourself by squeezing the calf muscle between your thumb & index finger. I do it twice a day for five minutes on each calf. When I first started doing this, it took two weeks before I no longer felt pain when firmly squeezing the calf, since then I do it once every other day for 5 minutes on each calf to keep inflammation from resettling into the calf. Same with your biceps & triceps on your arms.

[@g.t.5324]

Very nice and thank you for the tip. I am a massage therapist myself and I always like to learn new things etc

[@krysamcin191]

I enjoyed the details you give while doing your massage. I will implement them when I do massages. Thank you for sharing. Great job!

[@mikesosa2275]

As a massage therapist I can say it was great and learned some new techniques.

[@Kneadwise]

[@user-ig8vx4st2p]

[@leticiatrein7614]

[@xBloodXGusherx]

I really gotta watch this channel more.

[@sherylsalender]

Wow. I love someone who can massage me like that. It felt so relaxing.

[@robertasalvo1077]

I have a lot of dysfunction in my lower leg, my ankles and feet are very stiff. I think this type of message would be so beneficial. How often can this me done? I need you.

[@luisaguilar5343]

If you have a rocking chair with a horizontal bar on the front, plant your feet on the ground and rock back and forth, letting the bar rub against your calf. Amazing deep tissue massage.

[@maggienoffke7360]

That is really beautiful, specific work.

[@amina_as1436]

Hi there, My friend has had severe pain in the left ankle for a few years now, which most of the times has caused inflammation and swelling. This, in return, causes difficulty in walking. It has also resulted in creating a knot in the calf area, making it tighter and stiffer. I've done some research and found out the correlation between ankle pain and the soleus muscle. Can I ask if this technique can be used on someone who has a knot in the soleus muscle which creates ankle pain/inflammation? Or is it only intended for individuals with Achilles' tendon pain? Many thanks.

[@RebelMassage]

Absolutely - these techniques are meant to help with the entire area. But I would want to know what caused the severe pain in the first place.

[@philest25]

But What about if with varicous veins, these are very common in the legs of the clients, are those techique safe? Pls lets us know, thank you for sharing.

[@Canadiangal1970]

@FloridianScotch Hi there, just wondering why massage therapists don't massage varicose veins?

[@magma9138]

No massage on varicose area ever. This is a contraindication. The area is often very painful also.

[@carsalessmith6391]

Hi i found this really interesting and would like to know if this treatment would help my problems Short info im female 37 and have extremely tight shortened Achilles tendons , i have limited range of ankle movements, i seen a Dr who advised i should stop wearing high heel shoes but for some reason i just cannot cope pain wise in my legs and soles if i stretch or try walking without heels on . Your video and how you do the treatment is very good , hope you can reply regards Sharon .

[@sahabatbintangsembilan]

[@evanserickson]

Where do you practice? So informed. I’d like a massage on my MCL and calves

[@shaeb123]

Can I apply heat first before the trigger work, just to soften the tissue?

[@ponnice]

[@neydasilva1884]

[@MeowmeowAlexandra]

[@3abbosi]

2:12 When my therapist did this I felt the most excruciating pain of my entire life, I begged her to stop right away. My calves are always very tight and stiff but still I told her to be very nice and gentle or just skip the calves entirely!

[@ludwigvonn9889]

[@cherryzred6016]

I don't know why but my calves was in pain for months and I can't sleep

[@roundingcorners]

where do you practice? only thing i found was that you're credentials are in boulder.

[@RebelMassage]

I am based out of Southern California. But I miss Boulder terribly!

[@joshuadabbs1380]

Where in SoCal are you? I am in the South Bay and this would be wonderful for my Achilles tendonosis.

[@RebelMassage]

Joshua, my practice is in Long Beach. Contact me through my website if you would like more info :) www.rebelmassage.com

[@RoderickStandish]

[@jessicaalvarez442]

[@RebelMassage]

I hope you get one soon!

[@mtabor9459]

I got a massage like this for my calves a while back and it didn't hurt but it Felt too good. My leg kept jerking and I almost wanted to start yelling but I wasn't painful. It was so weird

[@rebel8440]

I loveeeee that feeling

[@debulsjes]

especially the last bit is hilarious. Where keeps the client her head when she is facing down the table? Sideways on a pillow? If that's the case then does it make any difference with side she is facing to?

[@ironwill2352]

so how can what you do be applied to all the scar tissue that is still built up around my Achilles tendon since I had surgery on Aug. 20 2014? Is still tight everyday and I don't go up and down steps normally no matter how much I try.

[@RebelMassage]

Unfortunately that is a difficult question to answer without really assessing your situation. There are so many questions I would need answered. Hopefully you are getting regular body work to address this. :)
