Recovery massage for the back | Sports recovery massage part 3

In part 3 of our series on sports recovery massage we look at some fundamental back massage sequences. It's so important to get these fundamentals right from the get-go; not only will it mean better outcomes for your clients, but they're easier on your body too.
This sequence starts with the glutes, the iliac crest, and into the lumbar spine. You'll need a broad contact approach to incorporate the whole gluteus muscle group. Again, you're using your palms and body weight to deliver pressure where it's needed. You don't need your fingers and thumbs, or to overload your wrists; this is about techniques that are safe and sustainable for you and your client.

Well you have broadened my mind because I was taught we were never allowed to drape the sheet that low. But it's always been frustrating for me always using proper draping in that area because that's exactly the spot we need to access with a continuous flow when the client requests low back & glute work. Thankfully the spa I work at now is a little more liberal so I'm going to keep in mind your examples here.

Always get your informed consent from your clients in regards to where the treatment takes place angela , just so client and therapist are on the same page.
