How to Use Forearms in Shiatsu Massage

Video Transcript

"So I'm continuing to work on the legs and to be using my forearm and elbow here. I am working on the outside of the leg here. It is a much stronger tool in many ways. I am kind of just kneading the tissue on the side of the leg. As you can see I leave my hand here as a base, the mothering hand. As you can see Sara's feet are just naturally turned in pigeon toed. That is the exact way you should be with her hands to her side. You can take your time with this, it's nothing to hurry. In fact a lot of times the clients will say I wish you would have spent more time in that one area. After a while as a therapist here you realize those areas that need more work and almost every recipient will gladly take more time in certain areas that is needed. So as I am finishing up here for this section of the massage I want to kind of spread the energy and keep my energy in my palms and tossing any way chi that is not needed and also it is assuring the partner that at least for now it is coming to a close so when we come back I'll wrap up this section of the massage."
