More massage therapists practice some form of Swedish massage than any
other genre of bodywork. Here Dr. James Mally offers you the best class
in basic massage techniques available on DVD. This DVD is enhanced with
Superlearning Music by Dyveke Spino.
From the Massage Magazine review:
"It is rare to find a massage DVD that gives a solid foundation to the
beginner,while at the same time successfully equips the veteran massage
practitioner with invaluable insights and techniques. Swedish Massage
with Dr. James Mally does both, and more. In his gentle, yet very
knowledgeable way, Mally takes us on an intriguing, well-designed and
well-presented journey through the massage therapy session. In a
logical, well-thought-out routine, we learn preliminaries to the
massage session, efficient use of the massage table, tactful draping of
the client, an entire full-body therapeutic massage routine, finishing
touches, and a brief introduction to deep-tissue massage. Demonstrating
on a live model, Mally describes each technique, while explaining the
reasons for each stroke and the most effective ways to do them. As
effective as this DVD is, it is always advisable to have formal
training in a classroom setting. However, Mally's DVD is the next best
thing to classroom instruction."
Individual techniques are shown on one side of the client in detail, showing common mistakes and proper body mechanics. On the other side of the client we show the techniques blended into a flowing massage.
