Massage Tutorial: Using forearms/elbows effectively
My new book is out! It's called Massage Is Weird: https://massagesloth.com/book/
Want to use your elbows during a massage, but don't know how to make it feel "right"? Worried that you can't feel the structures that you're working on?
First, let your forearm work be as flowing as any other stroke. Conform to the surface under your tool, and let your working surface be as relaxed and soft as possible. As I demonstrate in the video, turning your hand downward (pronating the wrist) can often make the different between "ouch" and "ahh."
When using the tip of your elbow (the olecranon process), consider surrounding it with a comforting hand. This can soften and broaden the experience for your client, all while giving you much more sensory information as you work.
I've included some techniques, but I'm sure there are many I've missed! Tell me how you use forearms/elbows in the comments, and let me know what you'd like to see next!
