SUGGESTION: One can use Trigger Point's STK foam roller stick on your calves. A great, flexible roller stick for precise application of force into the muscle tissue. Place a folded towel on the floor. Sit on the edge of a bed or chair. With your toes rolled under, place the top of your foot on the towel. This will relax the gastrocnemius and solius muscles in the calf. Use the roller's various wheels of the roller stick to superficially or work deeper into the calf muscles.
Works well on the quadriceps as well. Apply force into muscle tissue only during movements towards the heart. Good luck. Hope it helps.
Thank you for the Tips! I didn’t make it to the legs so this is good advice. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get back up 😂😂😂 I’m going to pin your comment.
I’m a LMT with a new business and these self care tips just made my day. Ty for sharing all your knowledge.
I hope this encourages you to take care of yourself from the beginning of your career! It’s very important not to burn out & do some self care!
I've qualified as a massage therapist and reflexologist 2 years back and just to say I get inspired by watching your techniques keep up the good work 👍
Congratulations on your continued search to learn and grow! That’s how you become a great therapist! You keep up the good work too ❤️🤗
@@MassageTherapeutics915 thank just out of curiosity where are you based

@@MassageTherapeutics915 wow a long way from me be safe down there 👍
@@danw2420 thank you!!! We have just had a city order to close down for 2 weeks. Hospitals are overflowing. Civic center being turned into a makeshift hospital now. Very sad indeed. I will continue to be careful! You too. 🤗❤️
Thank you so much for this video. Much appreciated 💚
You’re very welcome! 🤗❤️
Thanks for sharing with us this video. I'm from Hungary watching and learing from You 😊. Wish you a nice day.
Gabriela thank you for your positive feedback! I hope all is well in Beautiful Hungary 🇭🇺. Please take care of yourself. I think we all need a tender loving care at this time. Create a great day 🙏🤗
Thank you Maria for this video, I will keep it in my favorite. :)
That’s a great idea! You can watch it again when you need some self care! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for your video,very much helping to me !
I am very happy for that! I appreciate your support
I may not always comment but I watch your videos and love them! I am a subscriber so I get notified when new ones are posted. Your videos really help me study even since I have graduated(July) and will take the MBLEX on Halloween!! I am interested in using any tools I can to help clients and myself and want to learn to use gua sha tools, and cupping. The little bit you did here for self care is great and now I am feeling energized for the day(currently 630am). I loved my massage teacher and learned so much from her, and you are like a 2nd teacher to me that has taught me so much! Many thanks and much love! 💜💀😊
Congratulations Darcy on embarking on your new career! Best of wishes on taking the Mblex! Halloween is a good omen! You sound like the best student! Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a comment!!! You are one of the silent supporters that I really appreciate it! You’re humble and kind and don’t need a lot of fanfare. You will be a great therapist! Please keep us posted when you pass so we can congratulate you!!!!
@@MassageTherapeutics915 I did pass!!! Halloween was a very good day! Got my license this past Friday and filed for LLC yesterday! Thank you soo much for your kind words!! Your videos keep me in practice ;)
@@darcykoski1267 congratulations Darcy! You’re on your way to great massage therapy career! Thank you for your relentless support!!! 🤗🙏
GREAT instructions! I will use these techniques daily.
I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Excellent! I’m very happy to hear that you will be incorporating it daily! It will definitely help reduce stress! Stay healthy and strong
Thank you for this Maria!
My pleasure!!! We forget to take care of ourselves sometimes
Thank you so much for All of your videos. They've been extremely helpful and highly useful. This self care routine is splendid and when I miss a day of this along with meditation I truly see the difference. So thank you for taking the time to put all of these videos together for all of us. ❤️
Your kind words really uplifted me! We all need that external motivation sometimes 🤗. I’m the same way about my meditation & exercise! If I don’t do it I notice it right away. First thing I struggle with is not sleeping well! Great minds think alike!!! ❤️🤗
@@MassageTherapeutics915 I must say that it's also refreshing that you take the additional time to respond. Means a lot and the lack of sleep is definitely part of it.
@@Nich3ll3C I’m very happy to know that you do take care of yourself so you can take care of others. A lot of people don’t recognize that their health is their wealth!!!!
You need to move your microphone, that way it doesn't pick up all the extra sounds. 😊
Necesito un traductor !!!
Lástima este vídeo no tiene subtítulos pero realmente solo tienes que imitarme los movimientos. Es para podernos cuidar y dar auto masaje cuando no podemos intercambiar.
Thank you for this video, it's really helpful.
I use a foam roll on my entire body too.
It really helps relieve the tension in my shoulders, upper back teres major, minor and neck too!
Yes yes the foam roller is very good too! I didn’t think to mention that...thank you for your feedback. Stay healthy and strong

Hola hermosa! No pusiste subtítulos en español?😔
No este no tiene. Monetariamente no puedo pagar por todos los subtítulos. Disculpa. Pero pienso que más o menos puedes ver los movimientos. Gracias por tú apoyo. Cuídate 😌
Maybe for weeks ive velt some pain on the left side of my body, my chest erea, ribs, neck, shoulder, under the armpit and arm. but only on the left side. After doing these so much tension was released i cant believe it. Im now going to do these every morning and before sleeping. I do them a bit longer and focus also on the back part and the ereas where i have pain. But thank you so soo much your a blessing.
I probably use to much oil, is there any harm by using to much (exept for my wallet)? 🤣😇🥰😘☺
I’m sorry you’ve had pain! Have you been stressed or did you injure yourself? I’m happy to hear that this helps you. You can also do some massaging around the thymus were I was doing the thymus thumping. That’s where part of the origin of the Pectoralis Major is & you might have a lot of tension there. If the pain was to persist or get worse I recommend you call your dr. Otherwise I think doing self care is so important! I give myself full body massages! I like to use coconut oil too or even olive oil lol. Nothing bad happens if you use too much oil except be careful not to stain your clothes or sheets. You will get the hang of it if you continue to practice! I do hope you continue to incorporate the self care techniques. I can also recommend the Tai Chi videos they might help you relax & recharge a bit. Best of wishes for you 🙏🤗
@@MassageTherapeutics915 I'm 26 years old and work as a social worker so stress is always around the corner 🙈
But most likely I have a condition where my cartilage between my bones (chest erea) is inflamed. (Also knows as Tietze Syndrome) You are probably familiar with this condition. And there is no real cure for it, I don't really like to take meds so I resort to physical therapie. Sometimes a feel this sharp knife cut pain these are the worst but thankfully not always or everyday
But you are so right! Taking care of ourselves starts within us! Your a real gem, thank you for reaching out and your kind words! I will incorporate these techniques as they do help me out. A friend of mine told me about the different meridians he knows more about it than I do. So I will look into that as the Thai videos you recommend.
Best of wishes to you as well ❤
I love you so much! You have helped me more than you imagine😍Thank you for everything💙💛💚
You just made my day!!! I truly appreciate comments like these! It is my pleasure to help people around the world! Self care is a must! Love you too 🤗❤️
@@MassageTherapeutics915 👋👋👋😍😍
Very nice. Thank you very much 😘🥰
You are very welcome!
Hi Maria, this demo shows a mixture of east and west techniques. First part is about overall Qi and blood circulation, not only muscles, tendons and meridian cared but also the internal organs attended. The second part is more specific, a therapist’s advantage to self-care---you can do massage on yourself, and go further with S bar help ( effleurage /myofascial release the rhomboids, QL, Traps, Scapulas, Lats and so on). Thanks for the video. Take good care of yourself.
(Dimple’s Day 55 check in ----speaks only good, does only good, sees only good)
I love your motto “speaks only good, does only good, sees only good”. So powerful!!!
Thank you very much 😃, excellent video for massage therapist 🙌👍!
I appreciate the compliment! Yes all massage therapist need to take care of themselves
You’re amazing Maria and please Show us more of your cupping massage techniques
Yes I will! I plan to do a video really soon. Thank you for your feedback
Thanks Maria for all your videos, I love them, they're very helpful. Take care of yourself ,
Thank you very much Lorena, I am being very careful! Staying home as much as possible! You take care too!!!
Great video as always.
Thank you! I hope it’s beneficial to you! We all need self care at this moment! 🙏🤗❤️
You are heaven sent ❤
I appreciate the compliment!
Thank you so much for creating this video. And thank you for taking care of you!
I appreciate that Tammy! Difficult times for a lot of people especially massage therapist. I do my best to practice what I teach. A good teacher lives it first then teaches it. I’ve just gained weight since the pandemic because I’m not as active even though I walk every day! Not happy with that part lol.
Thank you for this. It was much needed. Love you awesome Lady ❣️
Awaw thank you so much for your encouraging words! Love you too! That’s what the worlds needs more of to heal. Love ❤️
Can't wait to finish this one! What a wonderful guide. Thank you!
Thanks! It really gives you energy if you speed it up a bit or relaxes you if you slow it down. Enjoy
Yes pls kindly show us some of your cupping techniques!
That is next week. I’m doing a Tapotement video 🤗.

Ma'am do u know someone MT in houston,Tx area ?
Linda I checked into it. I had a friend that lived there a couple of years ago however she’s moved to Dallas recently. You can search for a therapist that does neuromuscular techniques or medical techniques. I would call several places & even try them out if you can so you can compare. Sorry I couldn’t help you. Stay healthy and strong
@@MassageTherapeutics915 oh....hope she still in here/houston. Or maybe she know somebody or having theraupist friend in houston. Pls if u/her can help me i really appreciate it.
@@lindabrincken1677 your best bet is to research the area where you live. She was a PT student and only worked part time. I’m not sure she would know a lot of therapist there.
Can someone please tell me what is the name of this therapist?
Hello Faiona. My name is María Natera. Are you new to my channel?
Good morning Maria I am new I found this channel a few months back because I am interested to become a massage therapist hoping to work independently and open a spa I am suppose to start my course Monday in Jamaica I am a school vendor but I have potential to get a career and I was denied of my chances because of my previous relationship I got stocked so the Lord said enough is enough and it's time to love myself and achieve my goals in life. That is what I intend to do
@@faionathorpe176 hello Fiona. I am happy to know you are following a career in massage therapy! Good luck on your new beginnings 🙏🤗
Gracias Máster!!
Como siempre EXCELENTE!!
Muchas gracias!

virginie from nice France
Virginie how are you & how are things in Nice? Yes with this crazy pandemic it’s getting more difficult to trade massages for now & we all need some self-care! I hope you are doing alright! Stay healthy and strong my dear. 🤗❤️

Take good care of yourself as well madam... Ilove to see u again in your channel...
Yes I am doing good and being very careful! Thank you
@@MassageTherapeutics915 i wish i have that tools...i really reaaly like it. Its a big help to my clients and especially to my self...
@@merisamiro3215 the links are below the description. You can purchase some of the tools there. Thank you for your support
I have a question again madM, is it ok my husband he want to massage every night..?
Yes it is ok if there are no contraindications. Atheletes, rich actors and students get massages everyday! I would too if I could afford it or had someone nice like you to be willing
@@MassageTherapeutics915 😊thank u madam. Except in my work, all my clients are girls.... Only my husband can feel my hard massage.. And some of yout techniques i use... That's why thank thank you so much because u have a UA-cam channel... 🤗😙
@@merisamiro3215 you are welcome 🙏
The gua sha tool is lovely and I've only used it on my face. I wish my therapist would use it more often because there was one time when my spine wouldn't release. After a few minutes with the tool the muscles just let go! I'll need to try it on my legs because this is the most painful part of my body when I get my massage. There's a lot of nerve damage on my right leg so it's like an ice block all the time which doesn't help. She can be barely touching me and they can be extremely painful especially the quads. I've tried so much myself to get my leg muscles looser but nothing seems to be working. I'm almost at the point where I'm ready to say to just do a light massage. I know she wants to get the muscles all loose but unless she wants to use the massage gun everytime, that's the only thing that has made a difference and I've relaxed properly, I'm running out of options. I've got a massage gun at home and it's great. She can't use her own because there's no way of disinfecting it between clients. Maybe I should bring my own with me..... 🤔 Thanks so much for the tips, I know my body will love the tai chi warm up x
This is an interesting comment. I wish I knew more of your medical history & situation. Sometimes less is more. Personally I think using the gun too often is too much stimulation for the muscles. Like I said I don’t know her reasons for doing so. Do you lift heavy weights? I’m glad you’re going to start working on yourself a bit. There’s other ways to relax the muscles without having to use the gun. We didn’t have mechanical stimulation 100 yrs ago. In my experience I have found that specific work on a muscle should not be painful. When it hurts You engage the nervous system & create patterns of pain so the muscles & body resist. Look into the physiological laws. Pflugers laws & Hiltons laws. This might help you. Best of wishes.
@@MassageTherapeutics915 thanks for the advice. I've got a lot of things wrong with my spine and had cauda equina 19 years ago and despite being told that my back would get better, it hasn't. I've got everything from spinal stenosis to ddd. I practice yoga and walk as much as I can but walking any significant distance is just not possible. I'm only 46 and really lucked out when it came to my spine. My massage therapist is great and I understand why she does what she does, she just wants me to be in as little pain as possible. My legs, quads in particular, have always been the worse but we do manage to find a middle ground where the muscle releases and it isn't too uncomfortable. Some times though it's a no go area. I will look at the research you suggested, again thank you very much, I really appreciate it
@@kirstymacfarlane1620 knowing more of your situation helps a lot. I’m sorry to hear you had Cauda Equina. Have you been able to strengthen your core muscles? Thank you for explaining your situation and what your massage therapist is doing. I’m happy to hear she’s helping you. Have you heard of the Barrow Institute. You could look into it they are one of the best in the country. Best of wishes for you!
