Massage Basics: How to give a shoulder/neck rub
This one's for everyone: Want to give a good shoulder rub, but don't know what to do with your hands, or where to press? How do massage therapists do this all day without their hands exploding? There are tricks!
As you'll see in the video, the important thing is to keep your hand relatively still while moving your arms and wrists. That will apply the pressure without tiring your thumbs out. Don't just work on the big squishy trapezius muscle, also work down next to the spine, and over into the shoulders. If you try to tapotement (the chopping thing), start gently!
Let me know what you think. If there are any massage therapists in the crowd, check out the rest of my channel for detailed tutorials based on myofascial release!
