The Forearm Dance...
When I first started doing massage, I relied heavily on my hands, wrists, fingers and thumbs to generate the pressure that my clients needed. As I specialize in DEEP tissue, my hands & thumbs wore out pretty fast. That's when I happened upon a technique called "The Forearm Dance", created by Val Guin, which gave me a new way of thinking about practicing massage therapy. I didn't have to rely solely on my poor fingers! Although my style is not exactly "The Forearm Dance", conceptually it is quite similar. -JR
-Here is a good ARTICLE on "The Forearm Dance", by Val Guin, as published in MASSAGE MAGAZINE.
