My new book is out! It's called Massage Is Weird: https://massagesloth.com/book/
Do you find longer massage sessions (90 minutes or more) boring, intimidating, or unthinkable? Do you try to extend your session length by just repeating your routine over and over? There's a better way, both for your client, and for your own sanity!
In this video, I discuss several strategies for lengthening your massage session. By going slower (especially at the beginning), returning to broad strokes frequently, and changing certain characteristics of your massage, you can keep even the longest sessions feeling new and interesting. Eventually, you might find those 60 minute sessions feeling a little too brief!
