Double Massg. Technique-help!

[Sondra]

I learned a specific technique when doing double massg. and I cannot find my notes.....school was 4 yrs. ago.  Anyway, do any of you have info or can point me in the right direction?  I have a double to do this Tue. the 30th.  Although I know the other therapist and I could wing it, I would much rather do it the proper way.Thanks.

Double Massg. Technique-help!

do you mean 2 therapist 1 client or 2 therapist 2 client...2/1 working in unison is the key and this takes practice2/2 keep pace with each otherthe person I do these types of massage with knows me and I her...we move together...when we started it was a little akward but, then you start to flow...

2 therapists, one ct.  There is a protocol where both of you are to be at certain times.  Not necessarily both doing arms at same time, more like one doing R arm, the other doing L leg.....not sure if that's correct, but you get the idea.  Did you learn that technique?

Massage on opposite parts of the body:right armleft leg so the client gets a sense of balance throughout the massage.  Designate one person to lead and one to follow.  The leader will initiate strokes and basically decide how long the stroke will be, what kind it is, what direction its going etc.  The follower will try to duplicate this the best they can.  Sometimes it is helpful for the leader to count quietly so you both saty on the smae page.
