Basic Moves for Classic Massage

The world of massage is expansive, and includes a wide variety of techniques and practices. If you are relatively new to this world, Classic Massage is an excellent place to start. Even if you are experienced, Classic Massage is just as critical to have in your set of skills. It never stops being effective, and it never gets old. Kind of like vanilla ice cream. Surprisingly perfect, almost every time. Regardless, however, of how many techniques and approaches there are to massage, there are some core principles of practice that must be known and understood before anyone can be an effective, and safe practitioner of this craft. There are regulations that govern the practice, and in some places laws that determine who can and can't be called a Massage Therapist. It is necessary to be familiar with these laws, and at least to know what they are before you begin a practice, even if they don't apply to you directly. If you are doing this professionally, knowing the applicable rules and regulations can also protect you. If you are only massaging friends and family, understanding the rules that apply will only make your practice stronger. Generally speaking, there are some principles that apply everywhere. Let's review them here as a critical introduction to any massage course.
