My Favorite Massage Therapy Tools

Here is my list of my top 8 massage tools I enjoy using in my practice. Tools are very helpful in massage therapy not only for giving massages, they also help keep your hands in good working condition. We only get one pair so we got to keep them in tick tock shape as long as possible. You can find my #1 massage therapy tool on my website, www.massagetherapeutics915.com/
Help your hands! Start incorporating tools in your own practice. Go out and create a good day!
What is your favorite tool? Share in the comments. I am curious to know.
Also, take the poll! The poll pops up at the 10 minute mark. Let me know which tool you all would like to see used in a future video. Thank you for participating and help build this community!

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

I received a comment from a viewer who has concerns about cupping not being healthy. I’m sure there are many variables to this statement & many who would disagree. There are Chinese records of cupping as old as 3,000 yrs ago. The Egyptians also used cupping as did our father of medicine Hippocrates. There’s always a controversial view & I respect that. My videos are for informational purposes only. I make these videos with the best intentions. You are welcome to double check or do your own research. I always encourage students to do so. I do make mistakes especially when I’m talking too fast, lol, or because I don’t know it all. I’m a supporter of Chinese medicine because of my many yrs of studying Tai Chi. There’s no scientific proof that it works nor is there scientific proof that it doesn’t. You choose.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

JUST COOL agreed! Thanks for the comment

[@justiceamericua8381]

Massage Therapeutics my clients rant and rave about cupping and how relieved they feel afterwards. I utilize sliding of the cups rather than stationary cupping. In support of cupping, the benefit is better than deep tissue which many of my clients cannot tolerate and cupping is a great substitute! Just make sure you all have plenty of slip as to not pull or pinch when sliding. Gua Sha is valuable too and loved by so many as well, I also use a refrigerated rose quartz to help relieve my clients of headaches, works like a charm!

[@kelvintai5748]

Michael Phelps used cupping to speed up recovery between matches. well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/08/08/what-are-the-purple-dots-on-michael-phelps-cupping-has-an-olympic-moment/

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Andrea Montoya I really like your feedback! I’m going to try the rose quartz! Thanks for the tips!!!!

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Kelvin Tai that’s when everyone started asking me about cupping during the Olympics! Michael Phelps was great advertisement for cupping 😂👍

[@GlitchComputer]

This was incredibly helpful as I am a new manual therapist who recently overworked my thumbs and developed carpal pain. I've been nursing my hand for 2 weeks now and I can see how easily I could have avoided this! Long hours of therapy session followed by excessive exercises and vibrating tools did a number on me. Rookie mistake!! I hope I can bounce back.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

It is very unfortunate that this happened to you yet a common mistake. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re still nursing it. You should be able to get back into the manual therapy if you can make some changes. The same thing happened to me and thanks to that experience I changed my approach. I stopped using my thumbs! I changed my body mechanics, I started incorporating tools without the vibration (tool guns). It is doable and you will get back into it. It sounds like you are very good & thorough & gave your best! So now you work smarter & not harder. The trick is to assist the body to heal itself! What really helped me is learning the muscles and how they move. That way you know exactly which muscles are involved & you know their actions & lack of action if they’re hurt! You don’t need to give your blood, sweat & tears 🤣. I wish you the best & I would also look into some tools that feel right for you. I would be careful with the thumb saver. That hurt me even more because it’s hard plastic & sat right at my carpometacarpal joint. Someone shared with me when I got injured that the average lifespan of a massage therapist was only 10 years (back then) I thought my career was over. It scared me enough to change how I used my body. Still practicing after 32 years. Best of wishes for you.

[@helenelundchirwa8011]

I have come to love to use silicon cupping as a part of the back massage. Especially when the client is a bit jumpy or ticklish or when the fascia is really tight. It helps to relax the surface above the muscles and it is easier to do deeper work on the muscles afterwards. It has a similar effect as skin rolling, but I find scin rolling to be very streinious for my hands. Also to slide the silicon cups over the ITB and glutes has proved beneficial. Thight calves are also easier to work on after running the silicon cup.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Helene Lund Chirwa Thank you for sharing this valuable information. I need to take a class on how to use the silicon cups. They seem to break succión on me. I think it could be my hands that I don’t have the strength to squeeze them tight or I just don’t know how to use them😂. Thanks for the tips!

[@audreyarbuckle9175]

@ Maria, try using an oil based lubricant when using the silicon cups dynamically. The trick is lubrication, otherwise the cups will pop off. You'll want just enough suction that the skin is raised and can be seen inside the cup. Thank you for everything you're giving and doing for our profession! ❤

Thank you for sharing this video. I have been a licensed massage therapist for 13 years. My thumbs are really giving out. I am going to try this CBD massage cream in my sessions. What milligram do you use? Keep up the good work.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Karen Harvey. You are welcome. I use the 500mg deep tissue massage cream for myself. I also use either the 200 or 500 on clients. It is an upgrade for clients so I charge $10.00 extra to use it on them or they can buy the jar & take it home when I’m done. Another think that has saved my thumbs is using the Lbars. I use that for trigger points & flat surface pressure. I hope this helps you. If you want the Lacuna Botanicals that I use you can go to my store massagetherapeutics915.com

[@LillyLigaya]

I'm in love with the frozen tool, the cold hydroculator, all the gua sha which I've healed my own tennis elbow with. And just the tools in general. I might actually try a CEU for this...if anyone knows a good one which incorporates the all of the ones Maria incorporates. If anyone knows one that is in person since I'm that one therapist with a million questions.

Amazing video!!! hope to see all sorts of techniques, you are an amazing teacher and healer. Would love to see a video about depths of massage and lengths. :)

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Mai thank you for the feedback. I’m not sure What you mean by depths of massage & lengths. When I work on someone with an injury I usually spend the 60 min on that specific area. I treat all related muscles agonist, antagonist, synergist & stabilizers. I usually do supine, prone & sideline so that takes the whole hour. I work the same muscle from different angles. I use the scale from 1-10 for pain reference & stay within a 5-6. I hope that answers your question 😀

[@chasingpeaceofmind]

I am thoroughly enjoying your channel since I found it a few weeks back. I have been hesitant to use tools other than medi-cupping because I am not sure how it will feel to the client and worried they may think I am "taking the easy way out." I am going to start incorporating them though because it just sounds smart especially since I started my massage career at 55 years old and 2 years later I am already feeling it in my hands. Wonder about the brush you used on the scalp that I saw in one of your videos that looked awesome and wondering what that was? Thanks again! 🙏

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Congrats to you Melissa for starting your massage career. I felt the same way about using tools! From my experience clients like the tools as long as you don’t spend too much time away from their hands on. I usually only do 5-10 incorporating the tools. Taking care of your hands is important because they do start to hurt! Mine did & I thought I was going to have to retire! I cut back on massaging & worked smarter not harder. Maybe you can have about 3 tools & give your client the choice of which one they would like for you to use for 5-10 min. I use a scalp massager on certain clients. It’s a soft plastic that can be washed after each use. It’s important to have washable tools. I also used the scalp scratcher that looks like a spider on their scalp. That’s good for asmr & tingles! Good luck to you & take care of your hands 🙌🏽

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Charlie Heywood this is a great question. This is exactly what happened to me so I approached it by explaining to my standing clients that I was incorporating new tools for their benefit & mine. Win/win situation) depending on the tool I explained the benefits to them. If your clients have been with you for a long time that tells me they really like you so most will be willing to work with you & even let you practice on them. You can explain to them that you’ve taken a class or done research or whatever you’ve done to be able to use these new techniques. I’m sure they’ll comply and the ones that don’t like it will let you know. Best of luck & remember that taking care of yourself is 1st so you can continue giving the best part of you.

J T thanks for the feedback. The take on that was to show the process of the drawing of the muscles. Videographer is in charge of the creative process. Both Leo & Mike were all for it!

@@MassageTherapeutics915 - That would have been helpful for you to mention what they were doing/ why the door was open at the beginning of the video... I was getting distracted by that as well while watching you.(Thanks for the explanation here.)

Red Berry Farm lol. I know someone else mentioned “why was that girl topless lol”. It’s a guy & I see what you mean. We had explained in previous videos however not everyone has been watching from the beginning so next time we’ll explain! Thanks

@Massage Therapeutics, thank you for your reply! Your knowledge of the anatomy is very impressive, the drawings are a great tool. I'm a LMT who knows basic techniques but I have a lot to learn from you. Thank you for your videos!!!

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

J T just remember that we all start the same! Feeling like we didn’t learn enough however continued education is the key. When I graduated we didn’t have KZbin or internet. We learned through books & classes. These mediums for knowledge are awesome! I have no doubt you will continue to learn!!!

Здраствуйте. Я пдписалась на Ваш канал и с интересом его смотрю, хотя не знаю языка, но догадываюсь о чем идет речь, так как сама занимаюсь массажем. Мне очень понравились Ваши приспособления, которые Вы используете в работе, особенно для продавливания триггерных точек и напальчник для большого пальца. Подскажите, пожалуйста, где можно такие купить.

Hun what is vasil dilation you mentioned also where can I buy the tools from like the L bars flat one and Bevill one

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Vasodilation is the widening of the blood vessels which increases blood supply to the area thus bringing more oxygen & nutrients. You can buy the tools at my store massagetherapeutics915.com. Stay healthy and strong

Hi Maria. If you have a client. And his / her skin is dark. Wjen you do cupping you cant see if come to be red. I mean the skin color. How can I know that the cupping really work? I wait for answer. Senaida from Curacao. Thank you.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Senaida Koeyers I think it has to do with how long you leave on the skin. No more than 2-3 min. The longer you leave on the skin the more vasodilation that’s created but not more than 3 min! It will work wether you can see the color or not. I’m not an expert on this so you might want to take a class on cupping.

[@IaneHowe]

Good day,madam about this cupping glass how many minutes you leave that to the body before you you remove,and there is an age limit to the person that you make a cupping therapy

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Good evening to you! It depends on the client and what they need. I move my cups around to loosen the fascia & warm the muscles. I don’t just leave them for more than a few min. 5-10. Moving them works better for me and doesn’t mark them as much. Great question 👏 thanks.

I used to get teased for my tool use. I’m still in business they aren’t. However, I have my left thumb that’s pooping out on me!

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Andrea Montoya oh no I’m sorry your left is so bad. I’m sorry I didn’t protect my thumbs sooner! As good massage therapist we do our best to help our clients without regards to our well being until we start hurting! By then the damage has been done. I hope you continue using tools & that your thumb feels better. Mine does feel better now that I don’t use it and I have continued to work. Best of luck to you!!!! Take care of yourself

[@justiceamericua8381]

Massage Therapeutics yes Maria so true and limit my use of it especially for trigger pointing but remarkably the pain subsides by flat hand use while massaging! Finding other modalities to trigger pointing works actually better!

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Andrea Montoya that’s why I use the L bars with the green & white tips. They are perfect for trigger points! I took on the task of having them hand crafted so I can make them available to everyone. Check them out in my store at massagetherapeutics915.com.
