www.massagefree.com\nwww.aboutmassage.com/techniques.htm \nwww.massagetherapy101.com\n\nA good massage consists of two major issues. one is to know about tissues and muscles and other is to connect to the person you are massaging. The hands of a massuer had to connect to the body being massaged. You dont need to be an expert just feel the body signals and do not exert too much force or pressure. Go with your senses

You are good, really good, if you can identify specifically these muscles during a massage.  My hat is off to you!  Simple goading (finger compression), especially if you can identify a trigger point in one of these muscles, can be very helpful.  A 'stripping' type of massage in the direction of the muscles fibers may also be productive.\n\nBest wishes.

my mom just recently ended a two-year massage program at a community college. she is licensed and has invested in basic equipment i.e. massage table, chair, aromatherapy, hot stones, etc. she set up in our basement. one of the tasks of her classes were to give "homework massages" to a certain amount of people. they'd fill out a sheet with questions saying things they liked or didnt like about the massage. she could basically do these "homework massages" on anyone (of 18 yrs or older) and that was also a good way to get her name out there. she had business cards made and hands them out all over. she has started making a good amount of money for just starting off...

Yes it is.  And if u are a guy a deep tissue is the best for you.  I spend about 200 a month for my weekly massages and I feel so much relaxed and healthier.  So it IS very worth the money to go and treat yourself.

It's a good idea to decide what type of massage you want to do. Relaxation? Sports massage? There are so many different types. Look into schools in your area. Any reputable school will let you stop in & check it out. Talk to the students. Does the school have a job placement policy? Find out what is needed for licensing or certification in your state. Are you comfortable touching strangers? Having to massage hairy backs & funky feet? There is a lot of literature out there to get info. It's also a good idea to check out the number of massage therpists in your area. Is there room for 1 more or is your area so over populated with them that there isn't enough business? The income can be very sporadic. A bunch of clients for a couple of months, then none for a couple of weeks. Check out these websites. They have a lot of great info.\nhttp://www.massagetherapy.com/home/index.php\nhttp://www.amtamassage.org/default.aspx

Hi,.... If you are talking about a traditional Swedish Massage,...  there is a therapuetic routine that is taught when you are in school. That routine is designed to help to most efficiently flush the Lymphatic system and venous blood flow in the body. \n\nThat is a routine that you need to learn in order to graduate from school,... but it is not a requirement of giving a good massage. ... In my opinion,.. if you are able to "Be Present" in your hands,.... and you have learned good technique for handling the body you are working on, and how to move your own body in a most efficient manner while giving a massage,.... you should be fine.  ............ Of course, these are the things that you are in school to learn,.. and that just takes time and practice.\n\n.... In my opinion,. the thing that makes the difference between a really good massage and a mediocre one,.. is how much "presence",.. the therapist has in his or her hands. ... A good therapists hands are their eyes. .......... In fact,.. in Japan,.. the best shiatsu practitioners are blind. ... They "feel" their work,.. rather than see it or think about how to do it.  ........... When you have learned the fundamental skills of the trade and you have become more familiar with the body,.... eventually your skill as a massage therapist will become much more of an "intuitive" and feeling one,.. rather than a clinical one,... In my opinion,.. this is the thing that makes the difference between a really "good massage",.. and a mediocre one.\n\nYou are very much a beginner,... give it time. ... You very possibly will not really begin to feel solidly confident with your work until some months after you have finished school and have been working in the profession for a whiile. ... but this is how it  is with most professions.\n\nIt is also a very very good idea to recieve some massage sessions from some really good and experienced therapists. Your body will learn alot from "feeling" what a good massage feels like. This will help you to translate that into the massage you give to others. .......... You should be able to find at least a couple of really good therapists amongst the teachers in your school,.. and you should be able to purchase a few sessions from them. ... They may even likely give you a discount on the cost.

As far as I'm concerned the best Massage therapy schools in America are the UCMT network of schools. For the reason that they have 115.5 hrs of clinic working on the public before you graduate, and the most comprehensive anatomy class. Without anatomy its hard to look at the body and see the different aspects of it and have a clear understanding of what they are telling you and what that problem may be realted to. Day and evening classes to suit both and lifetime placement all adds up.

Getting a massage (if within budget) is the best way. I do alot of running and this is by far the best way I have noticed and tried!!
