" Hello, this is Sherry Krieger for Expert Village.com. We are continuing on with the hot stone massage. We’ve just demonstrated how to do the lower back, and now we are going to do the upper back. With the upper back, you tend to want to concentrate in the rhomboid area here between the scapulas, or the shoulder blades, and the trapezius, which run all the way down the back and all the way down into the hips. There are different techniques once again that you can use to massage the upper back, and once again, you need to have a running commentary with your client. How’s the depth today? Real good. Excellent. There are many different strokes that you can use on the upper back. For hot stone massage, it is usually a fairly firm stroke but not real deep."

on 8/2/2008 Besides demonstrating poor body mechanics (anteriorly rounded shoulders, hyperextension of wrists, lack of hip flexion, foward flexion of head) anatomical info is incorrect. Video states "the trapezius runs all the way down the back and all the way into the hips". Point of insertion is T12, an important distinction in determining shoulder and pelvic girdle dysfunctions. Other segments in this series as well quote shaky anatomy.
