MELISA BROWN: Hi, my name is Melisa Brown and I'm a licensed massage therapist here in Miami, Florida. I'm with U Need A Massage. In this clip, we're going to be talking about how to give a leg massage. There's lots of leg. So using both hands, I'm going to be doing a compression first just to say hello to the leg. I'm giving compression. I'm never going to be pressing directly on top of the knee. So I'm skipping over the knee and that would be the same for the top of the knee and the bottom of the knee, and then I'm going to give it a nice long glide and again a nice long glide. I don't have any oil on my hands right now. But if I were to use some oil, I wouldn't use anymore than a quarter size. Rub it and apply that with a gliding stroke. I'm always going towards the heart and I'm covering the whole leg. I'm not just doing the top. I'm doing the whole leg of this side. Keeping my fingers relatively close together and then doing the whole leg coming down. The pressure is not any different when I'm going up than when I'm coming down. I'm using that same exact pressure coming back down again. I could switch and alter hands. They don't necessarily have to be together.
