Tonight, we worked on legs. I really wrung my practice partner out. I worked her legs, then her glutes, then did a number on her back. I thought she was going to have a orgasm.
The legs:
- Effleurage up entire leg. Repeat at least three times.
- Thumb pressure up Achilles’ tendon, between bellies of gastrocnemius, then medially to laterally apply pressure at top of gastocs.
- Apply soft pressure to popliteus.
- Lift leg, and work fingers between toes, then gently rotate ankle. If toes are too tight, the grab toes, palm of hand to sole of foot.
- Circle around ankle.
- Cuff from ankle to knee.
- Rotate leg.
- While holding foot, apply knuckles to hamstring group.
- Rake inner thigh.
- Wring calf and thigh.
- Cross-arm stretch entire leg.
Tonight, for the first time, I felt my massage was more like a dance. My body mechanics were right, my rhythm was very nice, and my transitions were good. I felt like a person watching me would have thought it was a well-performed and choreographed dance. I have no aches or pains from the work tonight, just a good sense of accomplishment.
