Tardiness: arriving late, late return after breaks, leaving early
The following are not allowed:
Bare feet
Side talking
Lying down
Inappropriate clothing
Food or drink except water

39a Introduction
Sports and Deep Tissue Massage
Opening Remarks
To this point you have learned a basic Swedish massage routine, including
stretches and BMTs.
Where can you go from here?
Customize it by modulating the variables (timing, tempo, pressure, etc.) to make
it your own.
  
 
Overview of Segment
Classes 39-51
Theoretical: 
 
Sports Theory
  
Appendicular Kinesiology
  
Somatic Nervous System
Hands-on:
 
“Deep Swedish” Massage
  
Deep Tissue Massage
  
Circulatory Sports Massage
  
 
Overview of Segment
Graded Events:
  
Quiz #4 on rotator cuff
   
Review Questions #6 on sports theory
   
Written Exam #3
   
Touch Assessment (Pass/Fail)
   
Two Sports/DT outside massages (due during
   
Deep Massage)
  
 
Rationale
 
We now shift our focus from pure choreography and timing to
 
pressure and frequency (tempo)
 
Receivers often want work deeper than what we have been doing
 
so far, due to not realizing the physical (mechanical and
 
physiologic) and psychologic effects they want
 
How can we satisfy them?
 
“Deep Swedish”
 
Using essentially the choreography we already have, we can
 
deepen the impact of the work by:
  
Using intention to focus on quality and depth
  
Being more grounded and relaxed
  
Focusing technique (smaller area of application)
 
Once we’ve realized the concepts here, they can  be augmented
 
with slow deep tissue and upbeat circulatory techniques
 
Deep Tissue Massage
 
Slow down in places
 
Use more pressure there
 
Use more focused tools
 
Use different tools (biomechanically more friendly)
  
Forearms, elbows, fists, knuckles
 
Use different strokes
  
Deep effleurage, deep friction, melting
  
Circulatory Sports Massage
 
Brisk
 
Anatomically specific
 
Refreshing
 
Long-lasting
  
Deepening Swedish – How?
 
Be clear what the receiver wants
 
Establish communication
 
Relax and lean in
 
Focus deeper (intention and visualization)
 
Focus techniques:
  
Compressive effleurage (especially on short segments)
  
Lean weight in on fulling
  
Deepen friction and stripping (warm and go slower)
  
Stay with your hands (don’t rush ahead with your mind)
  
Demo of strategies to be used in class 39b
   
Back
Relax into full effleurage
5 reps, gently increasing pressure on each
Circular effleurage around scapula – curl fingertips down to increase
pressure and focus
Kneading of trap, deltoids, triceps, squeezing and fulling down arm –
use intention and weight
Deep effleurage up from low back (1 rep)
Friction (up-tempo to warm, slower for deeper impact) to upper trap,
stripping upper trap and rhomboids (focus and intention)
Back of Legs/Feet
Twisting compression to gluteals – specific, slower, deeper
Effleurage posterior thigh (compressive = upbeat, firm, specific)
Fulling the thigh – deeper focus
Effleurage the calf (compressive = upbeat, firm, specific)
Fulling the calf - deeper focus
Front of Legs/Feet
Effleurage thigh (compressive = upbeat, firm, specific)
Fulling the thigh
Firm work on bottom of foot (use fist)
Torso and Arms
Knead lats, DELTOIDS, TRICEPS (more thoroughly than usual)
Knead pec, DELTOID, BICEPS (more thoroughly than usual)
Head and Neck
Circular friction to one side of neck
Ironing trapezius
Circular friction to back of neck
Circular friction to scalp
