Deep Tissue Massage Therapy

I am an amateur. I bought my wife a good quality "portable" massage table here on Amazon last year for our anniversary, which caused raised eyebrows when she opened it. A year later, I have taken "introduction to massage therapy" at a local LMT school twice, and I have purchased a variety of DVDs, a couple books, and downloaded an app which lets me study the human musculature and bone structure. I barely used the books, and while the shiatsu style DVDS were pleasant, my wife likes deep tissue massages.This DVD series, including pelvic girdle, shoulder girdle, extremities (legs/arms), feet, breast (should be called pectoral), and hands have very seriously been the difference in becoming able to (as an amateur) to give a massage and get positive feedback. And at this point my wife is talking about just having me give her a massage every weekend and cutting down on how often she goes to her favorite local LMT (oops, sorry 'bout that).I've watched each DVD through twice to be sure I was roughly familiar with how it would go. Then I played the DVD while going through the massage a couple of times, so I could be sure I had positioning and pressure and process right. It makes for a little awkward stop and go sometimes as you absorb another DVD, but the results have really paid off. I don't know how an LMT would respond to these videos, but as someone who wants to be able to give good massages to spouse (and maybe a couple of good friends/relatives), I would recommend you start here rather than buy random DVDs.

This is an excellent video. Very informative and easy to follow. I have several of videos with Meade Steadman and they are all very good !
