Achieving a toned, sexy tummy might seem like a pipe dream this time of year. Baggy sweaters abound, egg nog is served and Frosty the Snowman doesn't offer much in the way of flat-belly inspiration. But getting a sleek, sexy stomach is easier than you think. Spend just five minutes a day on toning your abs and you'll get an amazing middle. We rounded up five of the most effective tummy toners around. Work three or four of these exercises into your routine (easing them in will minimize soreness).

Even though many scenarios are appropriate for massage therapists guiding clients with imagery, therapists have a lot of leeway in personalizing each experience. While guided imagery is more than simply telling your client to relax, it doesn’t have to include a fully illustrated journey. The goal of combining the practices of meditation and massage is to bring the client’s mind into harmony with a relaxed and stress-free physical state. Bodyworkers may choose a recording to guide clients into relaxation or use their own voice to lead the way. Two examples of useful journeys are described below: · Imagine warm sunlight coming down from above. The warm, golden light beams down, touches the top of your head and relaxes the tension held in your scalp. The golden glow moves down your body slowly stopping to warm each muscle group, draining any tightness into the earth below you. · As you feel your body relax and release tension it becomes lighter and lighter. As resistance is removed, your... See less

The Kür Face Rest Cushion is a state of the art, pressure- and temperature-sensitive viscoelastic foam that conforms to each person’s unique facial features. Better than simple memory foams, this foam uses millions of tiny cells, each of which independently conforms and supports, offering firmer support in cooler areas and a softer, plusher support in warmer areas. This eliminates pressure on sensitive areas, like the sinuses, and provides support so soft it feels like floating! This system fits any massage table as the Velcro® base attaches securely to all head support designs. See less

By Ann Abel, Melisse Gelula, and Gary Walther with Alexia Brue, Susan Crandell, Jo Durden-Smith, Alexander Lobrano, Everett Potter and Vera Value We're often asked what makes a great spa. The answer is complicated—and emotional. When it came time to compile this, our second annual Spas We Love issue, we didn't employ a checklist of objective criteria. Instead, we relied on what our mothers told us about falling in love: When it hits you, you just know. All these spas have that unquantifiable "it." Some made our jaws drop on first sight; others seduced us slowly, earning our affection with their careful attention and coddling service. Like love itself, our list is unabashedly subjective: It's neither a best-of catalog nor a ranking, and these certainly aren't the only spas in the world capable of inspiring love. To make it easily comprehensible, we've sorted these spas into categories. Damn the Expense spotlights spas that require a live-for-today attitude toward money but that repay... See less

Bookmark at: Summary: Massage is the act of applying pressure and motion to the soft tissues of the body like muscles tissue and joints. This helps with pain and managing stress as well as improving circulation. Typically the client is partially if not fully undressed and a towel is draped over the parts of the body that are not being massaged. A Swedish massage is made up of long slow strokes that are specifically designed to improve circulation. It was actually designed by a Dutch practitioner Johann Georg Mezger and began being referred to as Swedish by mistake. This free video series will not only provide you tips and useful techniques to use on your clients but it will also break down the different areas to pay attention to so that you may better attack those spots that cause problems for them. The head, neck, back and even stomach and feet are part of this series and are also an integral part of a good Swedish massage. You will learn indicators to avoid while giving a massage and...

Book Description The competitive athlete, whether amateur or professional, presents specific challenges to the massage therapist. To treat these individuals, the therapist should have a background in sport specific activities, be aware of the effects of training, and understand injury types and rehabilitation applications. This text describes patterns for sport activities (like running, throwing, impact, and repetitive use) and provides guidelines for applying massage to specific sports. Because athletes depend on highly coordinated neuromuscular activity, assessment and massage applications that address these physiologic mechanisms are covered in depth. About the Author Sandy Fritz, MS, LMT is the Owner, Director, and Head Educator of the Health Enrichment Center, Inc., School of Therapeutic Massage. Also in private practice for almost 30 years, Sandy works with a diverse clientele, dealing with everything from stress management massage to physician-referred rehabilitative care upon... See less
