Deep tissue massage should be fun, healing and-although painful at times-a team effort.
Angela M. Landeros, a licensed massage therapist, leverages her more than ten years of experience to explore how massage can help people feel their best. You'll find guidance on how to:
use brain games to redirect pain response;
promote talking and laughing to help breathing;
build trust with massage clients;
create the right atmosphere with music, sound, and smells.
and equally important-teach you how to use your body correctly in order to lengthen your career!
The methods the author outlines-called Summa Teq-rely on images meant to make each massage move memorable. For instance, you can imagine wrestling a dinosaur or thinking of your elbow as a jackhammer to get the job done.
