How to Do Leg Shiatsu Massage

Video Transcript

"So I've moved down to the back of the legs and I'm using my palm with my hands to squeeze along the calf and the upper quadricep area. I am feeling what is going on here as noticing there is tension and tightness as well as muscularity. We store a lot of tension in our legs. They carry our whole body and there is a psychological thing as well. Symbolic in our legs as moving forward or we're going backwards or overall being grounded. It is what connects us to our feet. There are a lot of trust issues with the legs. What I am doing here is almost like a baker stretching out some flour. I am trying to coax the tissue to relax, kneading the skin and tissue here. Sometimes these legs can be very very sensitive, especially runners or people who do a lot of athletics. You can alternate what you are using here from a pinching and squeezing to just a general rubbing or using a circular motion. O'kay when we come back I will work with the legs further."
