Learn how to give a complete posterior leg massage, from grounding foot compressions all the way up to the glutes and IT band. In this back of leg massage tutorial, a licensed therapist walks through a full sequence on the right leg, sharing the techniques and body mechanics that help massage therapists work deeper without wearing out their own hands.

You'll see how to warm up the calves and hamstrings, break down dense connective tissue around the Achilles, and use pin and stretch with internal and external rotation of the foot for a deeper glute max release. The demonstration also covers effleurage, petrissage for the calf, cross-fiber work on the gastrocnemius and soleus, and how to stretch the sticky connective tissue along the IT band.

Along the way, you'll pick up practical tips on when to use a bolster for tight hamstrings or low back discomfort, how much lotion to use for Swedish versus deep tissue massage, how to talk with clients about glute work and draping, and why keeping your hips aligned with your pressure helps you stay injury-free and last in this career.
