Massage videos

[Loren]

Hi. I just started Massage Therapy school. I am having some trouble remembering what to do when I'm practicing massage out of class. I also could use some help with my body mechanics. Right now we are focusing on Swedish massage. Anyone know of any good videos that might help me out? Thanks so much!

anatomyqueen,
Next time you are in class take a paper and pencil to the table with you and write down each stroke technique as the teacher demos it for you.
If you have a sequence you will be able to memorize and refer to it later.
Generally a school/teacher will want you to learn Their massage. Later as you develop your skill you will learn to add different techniques by watching videos, exchanging with other practitioners, attending Continuing Education and other experiences which will make your massage truly Your Own.

Too bad your teacher doesn't video tape a massage sequence for your class. I was fortunate, when I was in school, my teacher had a video we could purchase with out basic strokes and a basic routine..I referred to it often..

For the swedish technique, I recommend:

Swedish Massage Video, DVD and Workbook
with Dr. James Mally - http://www.abundanthealth.com/video-swe.html

It is an excellent video for beginners and a nice refresher for those of us who have been around a while. I highly recommend it.

I know its long after the fact, but check this link and see a demo of an interactive DVD designed as a quick referenece tool for massage students and therapists...

P.S. It is my company's DVD.. but check it out and judge for yourself if this can be helpful to you.

Good luck

I ordered some videos off of ebay that I'm fairly happy with just to help me get my sequences down and refresh my memory of what we learn in class. They were cheap...got one on swedish massage and one on reflexology for about $20 including the shipping.
