- Do you hate working on feet? Well, you may be putting too much work into it! Instead of sitting down and using your thumbs, use 8 fingers in tandem to strip up between the metatarsals. Mobilize the many bones by firmly grabbing the calcaneus with one hand and the metatarsals with the other, twisting in opposite directions.
Don't neglect the amazing array of anatomical structures! Your clients will be glad to have someone who finally works on their arches, puts pressure between the bones, and doesn't forget the ankle or toes. There's a lot to work with here!
Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear your comments!

Foot massages are one of the greatest things on earth
U cute fr bro

@@jacobTheeCreole lol
So much great info. I'm a nail tech and have started to notice pain in the thumbs. I'm so glad to have found this
I can not live with out my foot massages. Out of all the places yes a good foot massage is absolutely amazing! I will share this video with my husband as he is my personal masage therapist on a daily basis and you can always learn new things!
Go mm pn
@@rolandn3161 what's it like having a husband as a massage therapist?
mrs Ramos I can do it for you.let your husband rest baby!
You are a very lucky lady.
You are the best therapist and a superior human being. Love and blessings every single day!
This helped me alot as I regularly massage my husband's feet. Thank you!!
Rhonda d your husband is one lucky devil😀🙏
These are amazing techniques! I love your videos - thank you!!!
Always refreshing to watch his technique!
Who in hell would thumbs down your techniques Massage Sloth? Baffles me some peoples' kids.
id still like to chili dog ya
I felt EVERY minute of that!!!
The way you massage is really helpful and relaxing.
Thank you,sir
I love your technique. I find that I already do a good deal of what you’re doing when I massage other students and clients. I also try to get a sense of the natural contours of their feet so that my hands can glide along those contours perfectly and smoothly well at the same time giving just a small bit of pressure in the more meatier areas of the foot
Thanks for this!!! I am a massage therapist myself, but you seem to know a lot more than i do, lol. I like the idea of "stripping" between the metatarsels! I like your thumb-saving ideas: could come in handy if i get a sprain in a thumb. I have very strong thumbs, so normally i use them to the best mechanical advantage i can. Something you might add to a revision of this video, is that the tendons that take the brunt of foot cramps, such as many folks get at night, are on the top of the foot about an inch to 3 or 4 inches behind the toes. Doing some deep tisssue work on this area can help relieve cramps - but advising the clients to drink more before going to bed, and when they do have cramps, is the best way to prevent and relieve them - well, the best way i have found, lol.

Drinking more before bed is always a good idea!!! Oh wait...you meant water.... 🥺
I would be asleep 2 minutes into this! Nothing like a great massage by a professional!!!
What a great video!! I am learning how to give massages as a hobby, so this is great! Your voice is also very soothing.
2024 still here
thx man I really learned from this video you explain your self very well.
Great tutorial!!!💯👍🏽Informative and soothing to even watch. 🙏🏽🔥
That looks like it feels AMAZING!
Awesome techniques and a wealth of info. Thanks for showing us👍
Excellent Video. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video and the one on thumb care. I am a reflexologist and we are taught to do essentially everything you say not to! My thumbs are pretty aggravated. I am in Canada, and it is not necessary to have a massage background to practice reflexology here so I think we miss a lot of important info. I am going to start using some of your techniques right away, and go on a thumb vacation :)
I use the knuckles now instead of thumbs. It's about the same contact surface area, but since it is harder it requires more warm up of the foot tissues with hotstones and energetic vibration/impacts.
I use a lacrosse ball on a table top to massage my own hands.
You're my hero. 👐🏼
Very helpful!! Thanks for the tips!!
Great! Love it! I will definity try this today with my client.
Great video thank you! I love the traction at the end.
You’re the best! Thanks for your sharing!
Foot massages are very relaxing and I really enjoy giving them too.
Such a great help thank you
You've done it again, Ian. Saved my thumbs and rocked my world. Thank you!
Note: I like to use the hot towel I had used on the foot before the manual work to give ankle traction. I just twist it longways until it's kinda rope-like (like the kind of towel my sister and I would whip each other with by the pool), wrap it around the ankle, and I lean. It's neat bc it surrounds the whole joint in pretty uniform pressure, something that's hard or really kind of impossible to do with my hands.
Ooh, that towel traction trick sounds really nice!
Kinda like y strap for neck adjustments but much more gentle 😂
Great that you not just focus on the patient, but also show how you can safe thumbs and energy, by easy tips to use your body.
Cudos!
i thought the same thing..
im just here learning how to give my missus a foot rub properly lol
Terrific. Thank you.
Thanks for the awesome video.
Smooth, sweet, and to the point!! Thanks
Love the video thanks.
Giving foot massages is one of my favorite tx areas! Thks for all these great tips and reminders
I am so fixated on how the nails match the drapes! That's attention to detail! lol
That's the level of professionalism that you can expect here at Massage Sloth!
what
@@MassageSloth had jut
I just love your videos and you have such beautiful hands!!!
Love this video Ian. I didn't think about leaning backward. I hate giving foot massage because I have thumb problem from playing basketball before.
I love it!
great instruction
Hi Ian : ) I really love how you take your time with your clients and when explaining your technique. For someone so young you certainly know your stuff!! You must have had a great teacher : ) My husband was in a motorcycle accident last year and has been in a coma ever since. I do his physical therapy for him. I'm not a massage therapist or anything but I have learned alot just from watching others on youtube. Anyway, he has very little rom on his right side...hardly any abduction at all of his right arm and leg. Would that be a joint problem or muscle?? Also his greater trochanter?? is VERY prominent on his right hip but i can't hardly feel the one on the left...maybe his lower back is out of alignment?? Can you give me some advice on how i can help him get more rom on his right side?? Thanks!! Keep making those videos!!
Me and my thumbs thank you for this!
excellent. you've done it again!!!! :)
This looks so Amazing, how relaxing ❤
I was having a difficult day and you made me giggle... so thank you for that as well...
A bit late to your tutorial but this is really great stuff! Thanks!
I love love LOVE your videos and teaching techniques. Thank you so much for sharing your videos. I'm 7 years in the game and there is still plenty to learn.
UniQueMaSterPiecE1 Great to hear! Definitely let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
Massage Sloth: Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials I hope it's not too much to ask, but I'd love to know more about arm mobilization. Specifically, how to gain confident control of the arm when the client is supine (to help them relax); and ways that bringing the arm of the table, when prone, can be effective. Arms are my kryptonite :-) Thank you so much, you are very informative.
UniQueMaSterPiecE1 Ah, lovely! I addressed some of that in my newest video, oddly enough! czcams.com/video/qm_ykCQNvMU/video.html
I'll definitely have more on manipulating the arms of prone clients, I've been having some great results lately just by positioning them differently while doing back and shoulder work. Thank you!
Massage Sloth: Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials I'm going to check that out! Thank you so much, you are awesome!!
LadyMischief same here im 8 years in now. All these videos help keep me on my toes and elbows. Lol
There are life savers and then there's you, a thumb saver. Technically I should say you are both because good grief I was using my thumb during foot massage way too much.
Thank you
Omg I can feel what he’s doing😭😭😭so nice
Thankyou.
thanks this really helps me slot my mom is happy now and helps relive strees
Thanks !
I copied you and gave my mom a massage thanks man always keep the good work men thanks
I love to massage my friends n family a lot. THANKS I learned something as well
Despite the fact that the word "sloth" is present on any level, (sloths are mildly frightening) I gotta say that you are extremely talented at teaching this grand technique! :) Thanks for sharing! Much obliged! Cheers!
De ClueHypnosis Much appreciated! And yes, they are. The one I'm hanging out with in the introduction video for this channel bit me twice. I just wanted to feed it and be bros!
Another great video!
Maria Keenan Thank you, ma'am!
This was SO HELPFUL to me! took a Reflexology course and almost NEVER give foot massages because it is so tough on my thumbs! I think I will try your techniques - thank you!
Great! Start slowly and listen to your body. It's okay if the work is tiring (switch thumbs often!), but if you're having pain, it's time to change some angles or switch tools. Reflexology is great, but you've got to do what's best for your unique hands!
Awesome im a cosmetologist looking to better my pedicure techniques thank you sir
I need this 😬
Thanks
I l love your videos 😊
I use your vids to help massage my mom and my mom says that it should be my job :).
Uh why are you massing your mom
@@cummywummiez not everybody has grossed out relationships with their parents ;)
This looks amazing worked.2 jobs my life never had any kind.of massage

Great technique! Are there any areas you would advise not to apply too much pressure?
O loved it!
Maseru, vaša tehnika masaže stopala je zaista profesionalna, vama, mušteriji, jako je udobno.
Very pretty and very good

Nice.

Whenever I have an ache or pain, I don’t head to webmd...I think to myself...let’s see what Ian says 😆😆😆😆
Your videos are really great and your methods work like magic. I have been pulling out your stuff on fellow students and they keep asking me what I did! I start clinical s in three weeks and I am super confident! Thanks!
Michael Dooley Ha! I freakin love this. Thanks!
graciaaaaas

This looks so good I think I'm gonna pass out
Love the techniques, been trying to get better so I can do my boyfriends each night after work, this has been so helpful thankyou ☺️
Thank u for sharing!
Of all the videos i've watched, your tutorial is the best one cos its very thumb friendly. My thumb hurts a lot as much as possible i dont use it in a lot of things. But... ya see. Im typing a lot in ypur comment section right now 😭 ahahahah anyway, thank you so much for this! ♡ this'll help me from massaging my mom 🤗 love love!
Super !
My wife approves! Thank you!
Great stuff mate.
Men, please consider doing this on occasion for you misses. It's worth it for you integrity.
u are really gd...kp it up
Thank you for talking about ticklish client's. One of the reasons I avoid getting massages is because of ticklishness. My back has to be hurting to the point of spasm before I let family massage it. Otherwise I laugh even though I need the massage before things get to that point.
Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it. I hope to ease my grandma's foot pain.
What
I loved this video thank you so much for sharing. I going to do this everyday until the edema leaves
Nice
Magic of watching this vid:
Im feeling like my own foot msg is going on...🌝😄
Nice! I'm thinking I wish those were my feet 😜
Great very deep massage. Amazing
Helps get guys laid.
That is a bit direct, don't you think Tracy?
Rachel west from Montrose, MI?
It has helped me sleep better and more open minded
That’s great that you stopped having racist dreams
I like that face at the end. XD
I really wished she had waved with her foot. Thanks for the tips. Great video. Always learn something new. Peace x
I hate feet. Yet this video has made me eager to work on feet! Thanks Massage Sloth! You're the bomb!
IronMongoose1 No, you are!
Massage Sloth
great work! thank you for the tips!
Thanks i am a massage therapist and thanks to a car wreck i have been out of work. I am going back so these videos are so helpful
Dang, sorry to hear it Crystal! Listen to your body, keep moving as you're able, and consider asking for a physical therapy referral if your doc didn't offer one. Feel free to email me or message me on any social media if you want to brainstorm. Oh, or join us on the forum (search "massage sloth clubhouse" on Facebook) if you want to crowdsource some ideas and support.
Omg! Do you still do massage???
Every Taurus in the universe should love this....
i'm in physio-therapy,balneology,somatic massage,kinetotherapy bla bla school....i hate working with both feet and humans. zero tolerance for zoo too. your vids are great,your lessons even more so
