Lobbying for better massage skills
It's not hard to acquire the basic skills -- but it takes work, and some natural talent, to be exceptional. I have to say that I've encountered way more MA's that only know basic effleurage than those who incorporate feathering, wringing, pummelling, kneading, pressing, stretching and other techniques into their routine. Most don't even seem to have a proper sense of where to start and what directions to go (or not to go).
And while there's a certain thrill to lying on the table buck naked, it can get chilly sometimes -- especially if the MA sets you up then goes of for awhile before beginning your session. There's a lot to be said for putting a towel over the section not being massaged. Apart from warmth, I personally find it tantalizing when the towel is moved, or removed, or when the MA has to slip her hand beneath it a bit during her strokes.
Yep, it's a real treat when you get someone who can give a good massage before moving on to teasin' and pleasin'!
So come on you MA's out there -- take a break from your routine. Buy a book and try some new massage techniques. Experiment with a towel. Put the oil in a spray bottle and see if your client likes it when his jewels are misted. Buy some finger cots and lubricant at the drugstore and learn prostate massage. Let your creativity loose!!!
Your clients will appreciate it ... and you'll have more fun too!
I'm with you! The least an MA can do is to buy a book on massage and try to learn some basic techniques. I did, and I think I have better skills than most of the MA's I've encountered.axiomatic said:I think there's a basic problem with a place where the boss doesn't know massage. How is she going to evaluate the hires? She can't teach them. She must imagine that any girl pulled off the street and told to rub both sides of the guy is going to do just fine. Nobody there seems to know that massage is an actual skill.
I'm getting picky. I guess I got spoiled by a couple of great ones. Having too-good experiences makes the others look like warmed-over crud.
