Can't find full videos of massage routines to follow along with

September 17, 2015 4:46 PM

I'm a somewhat new massage therapist, but I'm a bit of a slow learner. I wanted to practice by following along with some Youtube or Vimeo videos, but I cannot seem to find much that run 50 minutes (standard length for the industry). Anyone have advice on where I might find something? I'm stumped that my searches aren't picking up much.

MassageNerd is a good place to start for individual areas of the body.

Response by poster: Thanks, but like I said, I'm looking for 50 minute (session length) videos.

You're right though, MassageNerd does have a lot of video up.

50 minutes is not standard for "the industry"; it's standard for puppy mill chains like Massage Evil and Hand and Stone.

You would do better focusing on communication and palpation skills so you can tailor each massage to that specific client, rather than learning a set routine and then repeating it.
