It is my passion & the more I practice it, the more fascinating it is (and this is after 16 years of specializing in it!).
My original plan when I went to massage school was to go into sports massage - I was…"

You just press hard enough to know its there... Then fold around it, and find that position of…"

Gary W Addis, LMT replied to Sue Coughenour's discussion Favorite Modality"But, the books -- or experienced friends like you-- point a beginner toward new techniques that, where possible, allows him or her to use on herself.
I guess I misstated. I do enjoy giving relaxation massage-- and I think I'm pretty good…"
Gordon J. Wallis replied to Sue Coughenour's discussion Favorite Modality"Well massage styles and the different concepts and approaches is never ending...Its like martial arts.. You cant learn all the martial arts styles..So you look at it differently.. Ranges...learn techniques for long range, middle range, very close…"
Gary W Addis, LMT replied to Sue Coughenour's discussion Favorite Modality"Just watched it.

Penny Feinstein-Ranan, MA, CCMP replied to Sue Coughenour's discussion Favorite Modality"Not sure what video you saw, but PR puts the muscle in a shortened state and holds it there with a gentle compression. The only movement that actually happens is the process of putting the body part (with the identified muscle) into the…"
