Thanks for imparting your valuable knowledge with us

It's my pleasure

I noticed that your hacking technique was not in a parallel plain with the muscle fiber directions esp. in the paraspinal area. Years ago when I trained for my massage therapies certificate at Miami LINDSEY Hopkins Technical school of massage therapy in 1977, we were taught to apply hacking explained in a linear plane not transverse across smaller or paraspinal muscles. Of course that was a long time ago and I have been using I've been using those techniques until recently on myself again as a retiree. Perhaps you can update me on the physiology and and signs that has changed since then. Otherwise everything seems to have remained the same.

When applying hacking (and this is similar to all other techniques) its important that you are effective, save for the client and safe for yourself (don't injure yourself). When I teach those techniques those three are what i am looking for. There are many 'rules' in massage, some made sense and some don't. I can only give my approach to massage...I don't see any 'wrong' in doing those techniques in the way i perform it. Some of the 'rules' in massage were created in in the late 19th centuries. We need to assess those and find what works for us today...

You’re both amateurs

[@lepuzki]

​@@BodyologyMassageSchoolIt's medicianny proven for this to be bad.

[@BodyologyMassageSchool]

You are wrong. Show me where does it say? The fact that your teacher fabricate some sort of pseudo science, does not mean that you need to follow them. If you have any research supporting your point, then prove it.

[@BodyologyMassageSchool]

The physiology of massage technique was created in the 19th Centuries. Since then, the world has moved forward, but some massage schools still teaching it as if nothing change. Sometimes I do teach facts that I don't believe in, just for my students will pass their final exams. It is not in this place that I can open all what is wrong with this subject. However, i would suggest therapists to observe their clients' improvements rather then following old dusty books.

Is there money in this profession

[@BodyologyMassageSchool]

Yes! but you need to be good at what you do. Most massage courses are really short (few weeks) and students are not ready for professional life. If you want to earn, you need to invest time in learning but then you can make a good salaray. You are not going to be a millionnaire... but good to support a family.

I dont do these cupping especially in lumbar area this may cause your kidney stones to fall out and may cause Urinary tract infections. Speaking out of my experience.

[@miamor33765]

Should the patient/client needs to sign a waiver or medical papers slip before massage???? I can't imagine a person going to er after a massage, the therapist was pounding and kidney stones Fall 😮😮😮 Sorry

[@BodyologyMassageSchool]

Well sometimes you are right, but someone with kidney stones will have a lot of pain on that area, and then you will avoid doing ANY massage and send them to the hospital. If you go with what you say, every massage technique sometimes should be avoided due to a potential problem. This is why you need to take a full medical consultation to ensure you are safe.

[@BodyologyMassageSchool]

you are 100% correct.

Invigorating is also relaxing? What

[@BodyologyMassageSchool]

Yes. The opposite of relaxing is stress. So invigorating massage is also relaxing the nervous system yet can awake you. complicated to explain!

I think that is more slapping.Cups the hands more please it should sound like a horse clopping. too many people slap like this.

[@BodyologyMassageSchool]

Yes, you are right. Cupping sounds deeper and lower. I can't remember what I did in this video. Usually its pretty good...

[@DB-ir3un]

I think he did it right. Probably because she had a shirt on it sounded like that but he looks like he did it well

[@johnmasoud308]

you should not work on kidney area and bony marks

[@BodyologyMassageSchool]

Hmmm, not agree on that. You can work on any area on healthy clients. Kidneys are well protected. Its a myth.
