If acute inflammation is present treat the area as local contraindicated. Once swelling has gone down treat with light effleurage gliding & stretching always staying within the clients pain tolerance.
5:47 Tension Headaches
can be a disorder or a symptom of other underlying conditions. There are several types of headaches including tension, sinus and hormonal. Tension being the most common one. Muscle tension or imbalance of neurochemicals like Serotonin or dopamine are the main causes for tension headaches. Make sure to address the sub occipital muscles aka as the ghost headache muscles. Effleurage, Petrissage and gliding can be used on the neck and shoulders.

Massage may reduce pain, anxiety and improves sleep quality. Effleurage, Petrissage, friction can be used for a full body massage.

The series pathologies are classical, tailored for massage therapists. They are of great instructive and constructive importance and well worth learning and considering before an actual treatment. Your channel is my encyclopedia Maria. Many many thanks. Dimple's Day 21 check in.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Congratulations on your 21 days of commitment to learning! You’re the perfect student! I really appreciate you! Create a great day 🤗❤️

[@twbradshaw2605]

Frailing - to become frail. It sounds good, and I completely understand what you mean, however it's not a word. The tendons fray. Fraying is the word you're going for. ❤❤ Love this new series!

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Thank you for the correction. Sometimes I do mispronounce words & get confused. And it’s stressful to record videos & remember everything 😱😬.

[@BanaBanuFerry]

This channel is absolutely fantastic and a wealth of information for us “massage nerds”. Thank you for all of the effort you put into sharing all of this knowledge with us!

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

You just made my day. Greatly appreciate your compliment! It has been an effort to continue during and switch things a bit. I’m focused more on students at the moment since we’ve had to go virtual. It’s hurts my views on KZbin however that’s where I’m at for now. I’ll eventually get back to more massage videos as well. I truly appreciate your support. Create a great day

[@bellag5557]

I thoroughly enjoyed this as a massage therapist! Such an excellent review for me! Thank you so much for making this clear and interesting for both students and therapists!

Yes it is! It’s part of the program to know the pathologies because you never know what you might be dealing with.

gosh you are just the best! thank you for this from your fellow "massage nerd" instructor!

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Thank you! This is my attempt to reinforce the students learning Pathologies. With everything being online sometimes they need to review. I love that your a “Massage Nerd” and a fellow instructor. I get intimidated when I think other instructors watch me lol. The videos are not perfect they’re just practical I think. I appreciate your support! What state are located at? Create a great day

Hey how are you doing? I’m glad you appreciate this video. I’m not sure what I got myself into though😆. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas 🎄❤️🤗

[@WittleIndianGirl]

@@MassageTherapeutics915 I am doing okay. I hope you are doing well! I learned a lot from this video. Especially about the sinus area. I started getting sinus headaches really bad about 2 years ago. You tell me more on your videos about myself than my doctors do. These lessons are lifesavers! Oh! And you have Merry Christmas also! Feliz navidad! 🎄 (Did I say that right? If I didn’t I sincerely apologize.)

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

I’m happy to hear you’re learning more about your body!!! Now you need to figure out whats causing the sinus headaches & how to prevent it. Do you do cardio exercise? That helps or maybe check out some dairy products causes sinus problems. Ok take care of yourself. I am good thanks and you said it right!!! Feliz Navidad!!! We should set up a zoom sometime!

[@donnarobbinstherapies5634]

Qué bueno el tema de las migrañas porque yo vivo con migrañas, me sirve mucho este video para aprender a tratar las migrañas en mis clientas, gracias😃👍

Espero que tú también te hagas un tratamiento. Ojalá y tengas alguien con quien intercambiar masajes 🙏🤗

[@heatherkent2854]

Many thanks, your content is terrific! But, I would really appreciate being able to see the terms that you are discussing, (anything written on the white board is unreadable). That would help to anchor the information in my memory.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Yes I understand what you mean. It was my first try & I could tell it didn’t work very well! 😩.

[@cruzgutierrez4602]

Thanks Maria...I really appreciate your great job

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

And I appreciate you!!! Thus the reason I dedicated this video to you!!! It’s a difficult series yet very much needed so thanks for the suggestion. Cuídate y saludos y Feliz Navidad 🎄🤗❤️

Hi Matia This is Hyuna. Thank you for your awesome lecture. Do you still have this Jini printed scrub?😊

Hello I noticed in the past your videos were not available for download to be watched offline. I think if you meant to share it, you probably checked off a box making it unavai for download. Appreciate if you can change that. Many thanks.

This one can be downloaded. Thx

I have no idea what you’re talking about 😂. I’ll look into it.
