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, I'm going to be talking about how to give a full body massage. This is all a matter of personal choice. You can start your body face up or face down. They're going to be covered. If you want to start at the feet, you can start at the feet. If you want to start at the head, you start over here work your way down. From the feet, you're going to work your way up. Now, you're going to see other techniques that I've shown already. You're going to see how we can do compression, and you've already seen the petrissage. Now, if I want to start from the feet up, let's say, you want to start from the ankles or even the feet, moving up and going all the way up. I can even continue on through the back and the shoulders. If I want to do a compression all the way through the body, which is very, very soothing, I'm going to have compressions going through the whole body, moving all the way down going towards the feet, and then I can move my way back up again. Even if they're face up or face down, you can do the same thing both ways. I'm doing compressions all the way up and finishing at the head.
