Unfortunately it's only available in limited countries

As a 19 year old after leaving a Poole training with recruitment center of Marines I went into the mall and an Asian massage therapist offered me free massage as an attempt to attract me into paying for full treatment. After the free back massage shoulder massage I felt like I was ready to run a 5K again and feeling like I just woke up and showered refreshed in energy physically and mentally. It was also the first professional massage I ever had in my life

Somehow we should be able to get CEU or CPD points from watching these videos, this is a great resource for students and qualified professionals. This is such a easy way to learn topics l, maybe you guys should try accredited video lectures for health care professionals if you dont already have a platform for that

47 yrs old - I started weekly deep tissue in May - GAME CHANGER! Combined with regular stretching and mobility work, I've increased performance, increased recovery and advanced mobility. I also use a foam roller post-workout, critical for lack of DOMS (for me)

DO ONE ABOUT ASSISTED STRETCHING NEXT! My brother is getting his PhD to become a physical therapist and LOVES this stuff. I was and still am a stretch practitioner as well so I know the benefits of it. Would be a cool video! Nutrition research is also something I do, maybe a video on how herbs affect the body too! If you know your stuff ofc :)

Massage to me is all about the 2 to 3 fold increase in circulation essentially boosting metabolism of muscle tissue cells. Reduces inflammatory signaling, increases mitochondrial biogenesis. Massage is also shown to reduce cortisol on average 30%

Indeed. As a certified massage therapist since 2004, and a zhan zhuang & tai chi qigong practitoner since 1989 which I also teach, Ive experienced countless people benefit from massage sessions. Especially when they are already being proactive about maintaining healthy physical fitness with regular exercise and maintaining a healthy trim weight.

omfg you're a life saver. I'm getting ready to do a presentation for a massage therapy course on Sports Massage, and this video is perfect!

Changed my will to donate my body to science because of this channel! I noticed the form for the school near me didn't ask what medical conditions I had. I guess it doesn't matter and/or part of the learning experience is discovering it for yourself?! Anyway, thanks for the educational videos. Much of it is over my head but I still enjoy watching!

PLEASE let the therapist work.. the therapist will know what to do once you tell them what your goal is and what you do. Also, PLEASE tell them if youve had any injuries or accidents, the massage will actually harm you more than help you at that point. The therapist doesnt need help, if they need it moved, they will move it. Just RELAX - Licensed Massage Therapist

Your channel is excellent! I would love to see one regarding the factors of urine analysis. I have had three episodes of surgical removal of kidney stones, and since have cloudy brown urine, a GFR of fifty to 71, high creatine, and frequent bladder infections. I do see both a nephrologist and urologist.

Hi guys, Love your shows. I’m a board certified massage therapist in Ontario, Canada for 15 years. I always smile when I hear “sports” massage. Massage therapy encompasses everything you “briefly” but well explained in your video. What differentiate “sports” massage from therapeutic massage ? Would be great if you could do another scientific video on this matter. ❤

From what I remember in school a “sports” massage is kind of quick, like 20 min or so. As mentioned in the video, it can be fast and rhythmical to stimulate muscles and get them ready for performance. Therapeutic in my opinion can be a recovery or like a tune up if that makes sense. Used to manage trigger points, adhesions, high resting muscle tension, etc. I am also a RMT in Ontario and love talking about these kind of stuff. Also feel free to correct me if I missed something

Would have liked a post performant massages as well! Nice video 😊

When I was younger i dated a massage therapist. As a powerlifter she hated working on me because working through the muscle was a lot of work. Now I keep a percussion massager around when i lift heavy. It feels nice on my quads and hips.

Great info thank you very much!

Not just Pro... When I was in the Air Force I worked Parttime at the base gym doing warm ups and massage for powerlifters and guys who participated in sports that day.

As a physiotherapist I do this all day mixed with other techniques. Really effective 😊. Also to support my patients rehabilitating and regaining muscle mass.

Great video! And yet, most of the time I get “invited” to give massage to athletes the pay I would receive is a thank you and “you can pass your cards out!” 20 years practicing and thankfully never had to take one of those offers. All the athletes I see are just referrals from my regular patients.

Great video! Like it

Vibration is an incredible tool and I wish it didn’t have the stigma of only being used for sexual health, especially in a negative way. The only difference between a Theragun and a Hitachi Magic Wand is location and intention. That said - massage and manual therapists are not sexual service providers and that connotation also needs to be broken.

How about ice and heat for recovery with massage have you done a video on that please.

I'd be interested to read where you got the idea that other types of massage, besides sports massage, can lead to injury. I have yet to see a study that confirms this. Decrease performance, sure. But increase chance of injury is something I have not seen in literature. Thanks and I appreciate your content!

Considering how accurate and detailed these informations were about the different techniques, the effects and their recommmended usage, I'd say they most definitely contacted an actual therapist (if not multiple) to write the script for this video. I was missing only one aspect, and it's how the patient recieves (from a sociological point of view) the treatment. They touched on it briefly when they said "some athletes feel like a good massage before exercise is a must, part of the routine, in a superstitious way", and here I can add that you can be the best educated, well experienced, most well known massage therapist in the world, if your patient for whatever reason doesn't feel comfortable getting a massage, you'll cause more harm than good. I'm also a psychology student btw :D

Just out of curiosity; first time on your channel so you may have explained it somewhere else.. I can't help but wonder why some massage technique names are French? Is there some historical reason that the french names were kept instead of simply being translated? Thanks for sharing all this knowledge!! I'm starting to learn myofascial release techniques and I can definitely relate to some of what you said :)

Hey, that's all well and good, but what about the people who have static postures/sedentary lifestyles and not only damage those muscles from overuse but may harm the compensatory muscles the body recruits afterwards. The same goes for someone who may have been injured, e.g. a knee/ankle injury (sports as an example) early in life and kept playing or even stopped and developed compensatory strategies over time. That seems to encompass a larger audience than those using massage techniques to boost performance.

Not any kind of pro here. But. Well. I sit on a simple wooden chair because doofus me would rather buy another camera lens than a chair. Thing is. Lean back. What happens? If you do that like me legs locked under the chair you'll notice your abs are tight. Your back relaxes. So. I think leaning back on a comfy chair where that doesn't compromise the upper back is probably good. From time to time. I got some pretty noticable spinal erectors and I can immediately feel them softening up

maybe i have been looking wrong but there wasnt any explanation with the use of bodies to show the phsycical effects..that is what i come here for to see the choices you make in life what is means to the body..this was just a motivatinal speech

I'm a massage therapist, we are trained that after we ar finished massaging an area to "flush" it out meaning going from the distal part (hands, feet) to the proximal part (hip or shoulder joint) because the veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart and also lymph fluid. They have valves in them so that the blood or lymph flows in one direction which is back from the pherphial area(s) to central part of the body if that helps answer your question :)

Ice causes the tissue to compress/tighten which can lower the risk of strain and reduce inflammation. But you'll still likely ache some and the tissue regenerates.

@Luaone

6 ай бұрын

Avoid ice, just stretch frequently and invest in a massage gun. Inflammation is the key to recovery. Ice should only be used for painful injuries to numb pain. Other than than that it delays blood cells to circulate and initial inflammation causing the injury to heal slower. That is why you should only ice something 20 mins/every hour until you feel the pain lessen. (*Within the first 48 hours the injury start, works best)

@posturerestorations

No ice. No yoga. No repetitive activities. No tight clothes or socks. Use heat, castor oil for 20 minutes a day and 20 minute walk a day. This helps blood enter into muscles and forces out disease and damage.
