Top 6 Things I Wish I had Learned in Massage School

[@ericgarcia3623]

Same like one of the comment here from Daniel, even I m not a massagist . I am a ashtang yoga practitioner and in my initial practice days, I had lot of issues near shoulder blades and the related muscle problems, and always wanted to know if some expert can help me out thru massage to regain the lost yoga practice time. And started seeing all massage videos, came acros one of Maria ma'ams, and hv hooked on to her videos. Unfortunately, even if I tell and show them to my local massagist, I m not getting the desired results, and always want to learn it...some day may be😀. Thanks ma'am that's the wonderful subject, and so happy u shared all ur experiences in ur initial practice time very honestly...lot of luv from India.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Hello Vaishali. I am sorry that the shoulder pain has not healed. It very important to do yoga 🧘‍♀️ and for your shoulder to be healed. Have they worked the Subscapularis muscle? That one is known as the frozen shoulder muscle. Maybe have your massage therapist work on that muscle. Show them pictures & the video on how to treat frozen shoulder. Best of luck to you and thank you for your kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGnGf3eofdKNbqM

I will include the frozen shoulder massage video 🤗❤️

[@smoothbeak]

@@MassageTherapeutics915 Insatiable curiosity ;) I think that I have a natural ability for massage, not that I have given one for a while, and I like the human body, that's about as best an explanation as i can do. What I liked about the video is that a lot of what was just generally good advice, things like never stop learning, not to assume that what you are taught is all there is to know, going to other massage therapists to learn more, all of those things are just part of a good attitude towards learning and improving any kind of craft. What you said about the nerves being what releases the muscle was quite interesting, makes total sense naturally. Here's a potential idea for a video, what about if you take a patient and you don't ask them at all what is sore, and then without any feedback from the patient you "guess" (or you know probably more than guess) what their ailments are. I think that would be quite interesting for many people haha. I am assuming that you would be able to use clues like tension, limitations in stretch etc to be able to do the "detective work"

[@smoothbeak]

Obviously the patient couldn't have any major issues, it'd need to be someone who was quite obviously in good health* haha

[@U2JEN2U]

Teaching the ability to educate your clients. DEEP TISSUE from the prospective of a client is NOT what Deep Tissue is. Deep tissue is targeted work where you work through the fascial layers to get "DEEPER" into the muscle. It DOES NOT have anything to do with pressure. ALL anyone should need is a FIRM steady pressure. If they have a verbal or neurological response BACK OFF no matter HOW MUCH they tell you it feels good. It is counterproductive and counterintuitive to the work that needs to be accomplished. TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT THE BOUNDARIES. If I have a client that gives me vicarious trauma I don't do them anymore. Mental (Mostly) or physical. Love YOUR VIDEOS I tell all the newbies about them. 👍

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Thank you for your detailed explanation! You sound like an excellent therapist. I’m curious to know your modality? So much to massage therapy and all the different layers we encounter! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a detailed comment!!! Create a great day

[@U2JEN2U]

@@MassageTherapeutics915I have been a therapist for 23 yrs. I don't tend to use modality labels for my clients because what THEY want may not work for them but, would explain my modality as INTEGRATIVE more musculo-skeletal. I specialize in traumatic injuries : frozen shoulders, plantar fasciitis, incision healing (general/cosmetic surgeries,diabetic sores) with a Majority of my clients being professional athletes... All of those injuries too 😉 I find cupping (active) is EXTREMELY helpful for those deep embedded knots that "have always been there" and "never come out". If you ACTIVELY (move it back and forth over the knot) use cupping you can have it out in about 45 seconds 💕Time saver💕 It is also great for rebuilding torn muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Also stretching is important, I developed my own. Minimal movement/effort for the client with maximum result. When I do couples other therapists try to steal them but are like 🥺 PUPPIES LOL. Have a great holiday !!! BTW I am also in Texas ... DALLAS maybe we can meet someday 👍

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

@@U2JEN2U we are in the same State. Congratulations on your 25yrs of experience. I could tell by your description that you know a lot. You just described neuromuscular massage. I think as we gain experience we all pretty much become eclectic and know what our clients need. You’re absolutely correct that we can’t just use one modality for everything & everyone. The focus is always on what the client needs that day. Cupping is excellent for releasing fascia & warming up soft tissue. I used to go to Dallas regularly. I wish I would have met you then. I would have definitely wanted to trade with you. Happy Holidays to you too & be safe. 🤗❤️

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Congratulations on your 10 year career as a therapist! You’ve exceeded the expectancy. Most therapist quit after 6 years in the field. I realized many years ago that the students learn a lot better when they would draw the muscles on the body. One day a year 1/2 ago I got the bright idea to do a video like that & test it out!

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Congratulations on passing the Mblex! That’s a big accomplishment! I think it’s important to figure out which direction you want to go with massage therapy and what your schedule allows. Realistic time management is important. I’ll tell you what I say to my students. It’s a good idea to get a good year of experience out in the field before venturing out on your own. If you want to do more of the medical field look for a position with a chiropractor or PT or Physio. The big chains offer experience in dealing with a variety of people. You will learn to adjust to different body, types, needs & time management. All of these are important to learn if you’re planning on opening up your own business. Since I don’t know what it is you like to do it’s difficult to say what & where you would excel. By the time a student graduates I know their personality & abilities so it’s easier to make suggestions. I do say a years experience is important. If you would like to set up a time to talk to me please email me At [e-mail]. Let me know who you are. Create a great day

[@bonnielondon2247]

Thank you for your educational videos. I finished massage school back in 2012, at a wonderful school in Ft. Myers, Florida while I and my daughter lived there for a short time. I loved what I learned. The instructors were wonderful! I still have my books that I use when I want to refresh. However, during the last month of school I developed symptoms of some health issues which made it hard to make it to class. But with the encouragement, and help from the school staff and instructors I was able to finish and get certified. Though I did not pass my licensing test, I could have taken it again, but I could not afford it at the time and I was making plans to move back to my hometown of Michigan. I love my craft, and yes, trading massages with other CMTs is crucial to self care, besides being able to massage oneself. My only regret is not going to school 30 years earlier. When my health allows I can help family , friends and my cat. Had I'd been younger and under better circumstances I would have liked to start my own business. You are great! Keep blessing us with your knowledge.... Special blessings to you👍🙌😇💖

Great video! I'm currently attending the Lauterstein-Conway school in Austin and Trail Guide is definitely the bible for massage students! It makes me hopeful that my school offers training in the modalities you weren't able to learn in the initial 500 hrs, as well as business and pathology classes. However, it is incredibly fast-paced for the scope of knowledge. I went to grad school for busines a decade ago and this is actually much harder for me bc it is so heavy in anatomy and kinesiology. Everyone be warned- massage school is difficult! But I'm thankful for the knowledge and hope to help people live more naturally pain-free lives.

Congratulations on embarking in this new career & challenge. Yes massage school is difficult! Most people don’t realize how much learning goes into becoming a good well rounded massage therapist.

Greetings Ms. Natera, I am new to your channel and I have looked through your playlist before asking you this question. I do not live near El Paso where you teach and just by viewing your work you most certainly would be one of my first choices to learn from. Would you have any advice to offer on things to consider when choosing a massage school? I am watching videos from others now on YT, but would really appreciate your input if you had the time to spare.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Welcome to my channel. I would definitely look for a school that meets the state requirements to be able to get your license. Most cities only have a couple of choices so I would go visit the schools & see which one you like. You can see if they look organized, clean, look at the curriculum & ask lots of questions about the program. Good luck and let me know how it goes! I’m always curious about other massage programs. Oh most states require a minimum of 500 hundred hours but some states like New York require over 1,000. So it varies. You can also call your state department of health to find out what their requirements are.

The school I went to was very focused on alternative medicine and energetic work. There were a lot of things taught as fact that I later learned were either untrue or unproven. I do feel that my school did an excellent job of teaching ethics. There was a lot of focus on boundaries and scope of practice. I have met so many therapists who have no boundaries and are unbelievably unprofessional. Also our program was 750 hours even though the state only requires 500.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Thank you for sharing your experience and what your school taught. The first place I taught I was partnered up with an instructor who focused on energy work & crystal healing etc. I was not against it however it does not prepare the students to pass the Mblex test or become well rounded therapist. I still have students come up to me and tell me that thanks to my teaching they were able to pass the Mblex. The 2nd place I taught at didn’t really care about the students. They just pushed enrollment for the financial benefits. They had issues and eventually went bankrupt. Now I’m happy where I am at. We take pride in our teaching and all instructors give our best. You are definitely correct about students being surprised after they graduate finding out some of what they learned didn’t prepare them for the real world of massage therapy. I’m glad your school goes above and beyond state requirements! That sounds like it balanced itself out! I truly appreciate your feedback! Thank you for sharing

Very helpful! I was just thinking the same thing...I need more education because I only know the basics... What are your thoughts on Shiatsu? Or Thai massage ?

Thank you for your comment! I think Shiatsu & Thai massage are excellent modalities. It depends more on what you like & are passionate about. As long as you love it & are passionate you will attract the people who will benefit from it. I just don’t even call it DT. I call it specific work. You hang around an ischemic area for a few min then do some relaxation techniques too. I like how you describe it & I agree that you don’t do a full hour of only specific work or neuromuscular unless it’s for an injury treatment and then again you still incorporate some relaxation techniques.

🤣 yes I know you guys have 1,000 hour programs! That is serious! Glad you’re learning a lot. I wish all the states would require 1,000 hours. We would have more respect in the médical community. Thanks for stopping by & leaving a comment!

We weren't taught much at all And due to Covid we were short changed in our education.

I agree that everyone was short changed due to lockdown. That’s the reason I recorded the review & kinesiology videos! Bad production yet I just needed to help the students ! You seem resourceful so you’ll learn on your own. My advice is trade with as many people as you can. You really learn a lot by trading massages. Good luck 🤗❤️
