Summary: Massage is a popular and beneficial treatment method for a variety of ailments, and has been for centuries. Evidence of the use of massage has been found in many ancient civilizations such as china, India, Greece, Rome, and Egypt. Hippocrates, the Greek physician whom the Hippocratic oath is named after is purported to have said, “The physician must be experienced in many things, but assuredly in rubbing.” And if Hippocrates said it, then it must be true. And even if the massage techniques of today fall short in creativity compared to those of yesteryear—in Romania, some illnesses were treated by the patient being tread upon by a tame bear—they are decidedly safer, and some would argue, more effective. In this free video series, our expert Alexson Roy will show you how to give a calf massage. He will teach you how to warm-up the muscle, the wringing technique, how to use lateral motions, and how to give a neuro-muscular massage. Alexson will also teach you the upward stroke technique, techniques for applying pressure, and the stroke friction technique. Alexson will even show yo how to stretch the muscle and wake it up before teaching you how to finish the massage.
