    For my first ever Massage Sloth Presents, Maria Natera shows us some of her favorite deep tissue massage techniques for the back, neck, and forearm. I outline some of the techniques below, but keep your eyes peeled because she's constantly doing great work while she's talking! Check out her channel by clicking above; it's great for massage students (tons of anatomy discussion!) and established massage therapists. Thanks Maria!

      Hey Crystal, that's not at all unusual! Any massage therapist with training in prenatal massage is likely to have some ideas of how to work around breast tenderness issues. My solution would be to put my breast bolster on the table (has cutouts that take pressure off the chest) with a towel on top to handle any leakage. You could bring a big fluffy towel from home if you didn't want to leave it up to chance. No big deal! Other solutions might be to have you lie on your side for the back massage, or even using a massage chair. Just reach out to any potential massage therapists first, and any worth their salt will be able to reassure you that they can handle it.

    Maria's videos are great! I'm a visual learner and I can visualize the muscles better. I was also able to understand what muscles are most likely causing my back pain. I watch Ian's videos when my back hurts. I feel better. He should do ASMR videos. I think both Ian's and Maria's videos help me learn and understand better. Thank you Ian for sharing Maria with us!

    I am grateful and I am praying for her every day.
    Thanks to bring her in!!😊

  • @kirstymacfarlane1620
    @kirstymacfarlane1620 Před 5 lety

    I've subscribed, can't wait to watch her videos. I'm not a therapist but I get a massage every fortnight because I have a lot of things wrong with my spine and my hips and legs are probably the most painful when getting massaged. Sometimes there's no pain, she can get in there with deep tissue and other times I'm jumping off the table and she's put very little pressure on my body. Hands down the quads are the worst!! But it's a necessity that helps my pain to a degree, therefore, helps me to be as mobile as possible xx

    Wow! She seems very knowledgeable! Her explanations are great! Also, and this is on a different topic, I'm not a massage therapist but are there massages that someone can do to themselves for TMJ and knee pain?

    • @TaybearXD
      @TaybearXD Před 5 lety +1

      Emoretta Robinson yes! If you do assisted resisted work on the tmj area it really helps. So basically do glides up your jaw and open slowly as you glide and then do glides down and close slowly. Also just doing glides around that area will help. For knee pain if you focus on massaging your quads that will really loosen up the tightness and in turn help with the knee pain. Most likely one of the quads is pulling on your knee causing the pain. If it’s inner knee pain then focus on the outer quads and vice versa but if you focus on all of them then you’re all set!

    • @TaybearXD
      @TaybearXD Před 5 lety

      If you search up Bob & Brad and ‘tmj techniques’ they show you how to do it on yourself. Definitely add the assisted resisted work. 🥰
