new videos every day life wisdom psyche truth massage hi I'm Jen Hillman

and something I'm going to show you guys today is the difference between Swedish massage

and deep tissue massage a lot of times these two techniques will be used in combination

because they really complement each other very well but

But there are some differences in the approach that you take and the effect on the body.

So let's go ahead and get started.

I'll just use a little bit of oil to work on the back.

Generally speaking, Swedish massage is used to stimulate circulation,

to help relax the body

and is usually characterized by long continuous fluid movements

so a Swedish technique is used to apply oil to the skin for example

so using long strokes with steady pressure across the entire surface of the part that I'm

working.

Swedish massage is a great way to start to warm up the muscle tissue and helps to improve circulation in the area,

really helping to flush out the arteries and veins

that are carrying the blood it also helps to bring more oxygen to any tight muscles

so just using these long strokes all the way

across her back just helping her to relax

and allowing her body to become accustomed to my touch so

applying the oil in this way is pretty standard for any deep tissue or Swedish massage.

So there's some other Swedish techniques that you can use.

One is called petrissage where it's a form of kneading.

So you actually knead the tissue back and forth.

So across her back I can do the left side

and then the right side just kneading back and forth so I'm using a steady pressure but it's not extremely deep

Petressage can also be used in a localized area, just working the shoulders for example.

This is a place where a lot of people carry tension.

So you can just work one area or you can work more generally a larger area.

Another great Swedish technique is using the flat part of the knuckles, not the edges of the knuckles,

that can be too deep and sensitive.

So using the flat parts of the knuckles,

you can move your hands all the way down on either side of the spine in one long continuous stroke.

Making circles right at the tops of the hips is also

a really great way to target it another tight area for a lot of people

so again just running the flat part of the knuckles down the spine

And making circles at the tops of the hips.

So by now your partner is probably feeling pretty relaxed

and comfortable on the table

and by working the Swedish techniques in this way you have

had a chance to identify where there might be some tension or tightness in your partner's body.

So this is a good time to start working some of the deep tissue techniques.

So deep tissue really just refers to an approach where you start to access the deeper layers of muscles.

This is where you'll start to identify knots and tight constricted areas of tension.

So I'll work into her shoulders because it is an area where a lot of people deal with tension.

So just using a slightly firmer pressure I can go in with my thumbs and start to work a more isolated area.

And as I work into this area, I'm noticing little knots, little bumps,

places where the tissue is not soft.

It's kind of hard and tight.

So these are the areas where she's holding tension.

And it's kind of hard to show on a video because it's something that I'm feeling.

So as you practice these techniques, it's really important that you tune in to your partner's body

and be aware of what you feel so one way

that I like to use deep tissue is to identify those knots

or identify a tight place and use a firm steady pressure right in

that area and you can also ask your partner does that feel pretty tight,

is that sensitive and it's also good to just check in with the pressure to make sure

that you're not hurting them because sometimes these areas can be really sensitive

and once I feel a little release I

can move into another area like I said everybody's body is different

so the sensations

that you'll notice are all going to be different some people

have really crunchy spots where it feels like you're running your

fingers over gravel those areas I like to use a little

bit of vibration actually vibrating the area with a steady firm pressure.

This helps to bring blood into the area, really helps to flood the area with blood that has new oxygen,

white blood cells, red blood cells.

All of these help to repair tissues and improve circulation.

And as this starts to loosen up, I can actually work even deeper into the tissue now and

you

can use these techniques just identifying knots all over the back

but especially in the shoulders between the shoulder blades at the

tops of the shoulders you'll find a lot of knots for most people

so just wherever you find those little tight spots just hone in on that area using a steady firm pressure.

Sometimes when people are really tight and have some knots, the knot is hard to isolate.

It'll kind of slip to one side or the other.

That is an indicator to you that it's an area that's really tight.

So just try and stay patient and stay focused

and really try to isolate that tight spot so you can help it to release and relax.

So that's one way to use deep tissue techniques.

Another thing I like to do is to use my elbow and forearm.

This is a great way to work the way all the

way down the spine as people carry a lot of tension in the erector muscles.

So it's important to note if you are choosing to use your elbow

that you want to stay either on the left or right side of the spine.

Using your elbow directly on the vertebrae feels terrible don't do

that we really want to work into the muscle tissue along either side of the spine

so I go in with my forearm first just to make a connection

and I'm using a firm pressure here

but I'm not digging into the tissue again even though we're

working deeply the point is still relaxation you want your partner to feel comfortable

so working nice

and slow as I make my way down the spine it's like squeezing a tube of toothpaste

so it's literally squeezing lactic acid and and toxins out of the tissue,

making way for fresh blood.

And you may notice other places where your partner feels tight along the back,

so it's It's important that you're not in any rush, not trying to push your own agenda,

but really just trying to work with what you're picking up from your partner's body.

And as I reach the base of the spine and start to make contact with the top of her hip bone,

I bring the pressure less in my elbow and more into the forearm

100

so that I can continue moving past her hip bone up onto the sacrum.

101

And using a steady downward pressure towards her feet,

102

she's actually able to get a stretch along the low back.

103

And then just gently sliding my forearm off of her back, I can return my hands to the top.

104

So once I come all the way back up to the top of her shoulder,

105

I can just use my fingers to run along the side of her neck,

106

just getting those muscles along the edge of the spine all the way up to the head.

107

This gives a nice complete feeling

108

so these are just a few of some of my favorite techniques

109

that I use a lot of the time so

110

if you go ahead and favorite this video

111

and leave a thumbs up then you can come back

112

and watch it again and work your forearm down the other side of the back

113

and give yourself a chance to practice these Swedish and deep tissue techniques

114

and I'll be making more videos covering this topic of Swedish versus deep tissue massage.

115

We'll be covering other areas of the body as well.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
