what bodyparts do you like the most massaged?

[Graigorax]

to me my back,butt,and thighs.
i love alot of pressure on my back.

for my butt i like when this women (in the prone position) picks up my leg
and does circular motion while with the other hand she pokes at my butt.
i'm still like 2 months and i dont know exactly what she does but i always tell her that feels really good.

and when she does my thighs, she puts one leg up and the other is straight and she starts massage my butt in that position and that feels good too.

what about you guys?
especially the women so that i know which to do more of, and which to know.

I can see why you would like your glutes massaged as it is in the center of our bodies and alot of tension does tend to build up there.
I myself do the technique you mentioned on peoples glutes, it helps get the deeper layer of muscles. More so though if they have trigger points, helps relieve them. I always make sure I get a deep tissue massage, as I am always pretty much insured that i will get the amount of pressure I want on the specific areas that I like. (sacrum, neck, shoulders)

So are you in massage school or are you a client?
Make sure you post in the Introduction area so people will have the chance to get to know more about you.

My favorite part of a massage is the neck and shoulders, done while I am supine. I love the way my MTs (I have two regular ones) cradle my head and put slight traction on the neck. Love the gentle friction on the occipital ridge, and the technique where one of my MTs puts his hands as far under my back as he can, then drags them back out again.

It makes me drool just thinking about it .

my arms, my arms, my arms. all i need is to have my arms worked on and i feel like a brand new person!

Good forearm treatment.

Deep tissue,30-45min each, all those lumpy spots, knead and warm up then sink in and stretch it out sloooowly.

Oh and some of the same on the rest of my body

Sorry not a woman.

Very good technique, using the lower leg as a lever and work on the rotators in the hip region.

For the body, I think work all round the back of the pelvis tends to bring most muscular release, as these muscles are carrying the body, but good hand and facial work seems to be the easiest to access emotional releases.

I have a nice little list:
-hands
-knots bordering my scaps
-knots along my spine
-glutes, of course
-quads

Before I became a massage therapist, I liked back massage the best. Now, I still love the way back massage feels, but I realize how much the rest of my body needs to be massage as well. So, I always book 90 minutes for the full-body treatment, and I don't know if I could pick a "favorite". Here are some things that come to mind:

• Back, neck & shoulders (always)
  Gluts/Sacrum (especially deep compression through the sheet)
  Forearms & hands (the more detail the better)
  Abs (if I trust the therapist)
  Feet (especially if you heat them up first)

what about you guys? especially the women so that i know which to do more of, and which to know.

Women as a group don't have the same favorite areas. Everyone's different, which you'll learn as you progress through school and work on more people. Look for each individual's specific needs and tailor the massage to them.
