hey guys Ayoola here for muscle management
services I had my friend Davon here
today
he's gonna be my massage model we're
gonna review some back techniques so
first we're going to do with just a
general intake so they've on tell us
about your health history do you have
any serious medical conditions Davon: "um no not
just a couple aches and pains from
playing basketball over years" okay do
you have any herniated discs or bulging
discs that you've had in the past? Davon "NO not really." okay
so it's important when you are going to
give someone a back massage that you
know what's been going on with their
back um massage is helpful even with
those issues where you still want to
know what you're working with because
you can injure someone if they have like
had a spinal fusion or herniated or bulging
disc you don't want to agitate and
aggravate that um and you would also
want them to talk to their doctor
beforehand if they had those issues
especially if you're doing this and
you're just practicing home so we're
going to get Davon on the table and
we're going to show you some back
techniques
hey guys we're back with Davon
on on the table I am first taking my
massage lotion and spreading it all
around his body
this first stroke is actually effleurage
and I'm going to label this movement as
flat palm push and pull
so effleurage means long strokes that
move around the lotion and warm up the
muscles so with the flat side of your palm
you make full contact with the body and
this is you push you go lighter above
the tailbone and then the hip bones you
can feel that go little lighter and then
you could push in and pull towards you
push lighter towards the hip bone and
then pull towards you so this technique
is the flat palm push and pull and
honestly you can do this for 15 minutes
and it will feel good just this basic
stroke you may not get any pain relieved
but you definitely get some relaxation
out of the person you're massaging how
do you feel Davon? "I feels great" good so with
this I'm doing medium pressure um you
can do if you want to do a deep pressure
with this same type of warm-up you can
use the flat side of your knuckles and
hold your arms talk and do a push and
this is like a more of a deeper warmup
how's it go lightening up when you hit
the bone push it down into the hips and
then you can open your hands and pull so
you can go down pull you can go down and
bring it back up and use your fingers go
down into the the muscles along the side
of the spy and pull up push and pull
we're focusing the deeper parts of the
stroke up towards the heart
remember we're always going to avoid the
spine we're going to avoid the bony
prominences on the scapula and then you
know the spine comes all the way up
we're going to avoid going deep in the
areas of the hip and the side of the hip
bone this next technique is called thumb
spirals or you can do some push you can
do them interchangeably so you're using
your thumbs in a circular motion along
the side of the spine so identify the
spine we're never massaging on the spine
we're going to do the spirals on each
side of the spine which hold our erector
group muscles you can do them with two
hands and give them all the way down you
do it one hand and spiral down and then
spiral back towards the top you can push
thumb push in each direction when I get
to lower back I like to do the push just
a little bit more dense and the push
sometimes can give a little bit more
solid pressure the spirals feel really
good and between shoulder blades really
short strokes work well in between the
shoulder blades and remember we're
always avoiding massaging on that bone
and scapula and the spine so you're
focusing on that area in between you can
see some of the blood coming up towards
dayvon skin we're increasing the blood
flow with the friction of the mossad if
the person you're massaging is ticklish
another way to perform a massage is from
the side of the body and when you start
from the lower back people who are
ticklish tend to be less so the thumb
push is a better technique to start from
the lower
that was someone who's ticklish um if
they're ticklish the constant sensation
from you moving your hands off and on
the body will kind of help them to be
create more ticklish sensations focus on
the thumb push and it should help them
to be less ticklish this next technique
is the hip push-pull so we're focusing
on the glute and hip area this is a
really helpful for anyone with lower
back pain hamstring or leg tightness um
so you're going to identify the pelvic
girdle which is the bony part of the
lower back and goes all the way around
we want to go below that and you find
the part where your femur the leg muscle
attaches into the hip we're going to go
above that so it's all the meaty area in
between there um the glutes and hip
muscles get a little bit more tender at
the attachment site so just remember um
you're not doing any deeper than
moderate pressure in the bony areas
you're going to go medium to light in
these areas and then when you get into
the belly of the muscle you can do your
hip push which is we're using the pads
of our fingers hold on our hand and
wrist straight and pushing into the
glute and you can come on and do some
circles or you can just do a pull how's
that feel dig on and you can do this
motion you can go in and do circles with
the passier fingers you can go in with
your thumb following your fingertips and
just try to get that relaxed in there
hip push you're pushing in and you're
marshal pushing putting a pressure in
towards the muscle inside the body and
then when you're pulling up you're
pulling towards the middle of the body
push pull this technique is called the
glute inch push this technique is called
the glute inch push I normally do this
from the squatting position because I
wouldn't be on the same level as on the
hips and my hands are going into the
loop facing basically facing the
opposite side of his body and that's the
direction I'm pushing into oh this could
be intense how's this feel okay so the
reason why it's called the glute inch
push because I'm pushing in but when I'm
when I'm done that move I go in by just
a little bit and I keep pushing down a
lot of times you'll find very tender
areas and the person you're massaging
you want them to communicate when it
when it gets a little achy or intense um
and this could be a sensation that
someone has never felt before so you
definitely want to encourage
communication this technique really
helps with lower back pain I find when
people's people come in for lower back
pain a lot of times tight hips and
glutes are the culprits when you come to
the lower area of the hips this muscle
here is called tensor fasciae latae or
TfL this is a muscle that controls the
IT band so if someone is also
complaining about tight legs or knee
pain
on this doing this glute inch push and
they on the side of the hip can help to
relieve some of that tightness so go in
and slowly and consistently go down into
the glutes the glue inch push
and the way you're done effleurage
this technique is the lower back need
and the reason I'm doing this is for all
of you with lower back issues and you
want and it's really tight and stiff you
can actually feel the stiffness the
stiffness in there
you go in with your thumb spirals and
thumb push and if it's really tight you
can use two thumbs just pressure too
much okay remember to check pressure all
right English you can also do it two
hands along the spine so the lower back
need if your thumbs are getting tired
you can use your thumb guiding with your
other hand also pushing down avoiding
the spine avoiding getting too deep into
the bony area of the pelvic the pelvis
and the lower back use thumbs that's the
lower back need
this technique is called the horizontal
need and we're going to be using the
technique called a hand position called
duck and kissing duck so you're going to
be using either one duck with your hand
moving pushing pressure down like this
or two hands interchangeably so will you
use one duck closer to the bassist spy
and the lighter of course because his
bones are right here and then when
you're using both Ducks towards the
middle of the back you're pushing down
with a little bit deeper pressure you go
all the way up with this horizontal need
and then when you get to the top of the
back towards the shoulders you can go
deeper if you go past that towards the
neck you go a little bit lighter so this
kissing duck technique can be applied to
almost every part of the body and you're
just using petrissage I chose this
kneading this horizontal kneading
technique technique is called the neck
caress and I like to do my neck massage
from face up but you can get some neck
relief face down it's the kissing duck
um just in a smaller more detailed
motion this I would use moderate
pressure because you have the delicate
vertebrae and spine right here that
create the neck when you get closer to
the top on where you have the base of
the skull you can go a little lighter
and do some small circles you remember
the attachment for traps muscles and a
lot of your shoulder neck supporting
muscles attached into the skull right
here go a little lightness area it might
be tender for some and this can cause
people headaches I'm using my index and
middle fingers
such a small space it feels really good
you can do it from one side of the table
and then flip and do it on the other
side of the table this next technique is
called agressive goose one of my clients
actually helped me come up with this I
wish I remembered the name his name um I
was telling him about the the kissing
ducks and this shoulder grab we're gonna
call aggressive goose it's a goose and
he's going to take a nice hold up on the
shoulder and pull and this can really
help to loosen up traps and you're
pulling so you're using some good
strength and good control because when
you get here you can go a little bit
stronger make sure you're pushing down
towards the shoulder and not end towards
the neck and when you're grabbing just
try to stay on the meaty part of traps
and not go beyond that if you're
touching the collar bone the collar bone
in front that means you've gone too far
aggressive goose when you're all
finished your back massage you want
you're the person you're massaging to
relax at the end and have a moment and I
call these finger caresses it's a
different way to touch the body it's
lighter it's a lot less intentional what
you're confusing the body about what
you're going to do next a lot of the
other stuff was repetitive and
predictable now the mind is going to be
so confused that is going to give up and
relax and these are finger caresses and
then you can end your massage
