The mission of the Massage Technique Library is to aid therapists in helping their clients by providing a forum for the exchange and evaluation of massage techniques.

My vision for the Massage Technique Library is to have an ever-expanding variety of massage techniques organized and linked with relevant anatomy and physiology. I want it to be a place where therapists learn valuable techniques, comment about techniques, and benefit from the comments of others. 

Why sign up for the library instead of buying the DVDs?

• You get instant access to over 400 techniques, with new techniques being added frequently.

• The library has up to date information including:

  • Variations on techniques
  • Many new techniques exclusive to the library
  • Member comments and ratings of techniques
    
    
• The library is continually growing.
  

• You can ask questions about any techniques using the comment forms on each page.

• You can benefit from other therapists comments about techniques.

Now the library works with the iPhone and other smart phones! Use the web browser in your phone to open this page. If you can see the video on this page from your phone then you will be able to use the library on your phone.

In this library you will have access to videos demonstrating many massage techniques, including all of the information from my three DVDs (Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Sports Massage) and techniques from Aaron Mattes' DVDs Active Isolated Stretching - Active Stretching and Active Isolated Stretching - Assisted Stretching. The library also has many exclusive techniques not on any DVD. You will gain instant access to new techniques as well as new information that will be added in response to requests from users like you. The techniques are organized in different ways, making it easy to find specific techniques, and to find techniques for specific muscles or areas. Techniques are also linked to related techniques.

When you "check out" techniques from the library you will have the opportunity to comment on them, and to read the comments of others who have used the techniques. We also have a feature that allows you to upload video footage of techniques that you find useful.

Massage Library Features

The library has preview pages and technique pages. The preview pages have flash video clips of the techniques. If a technique looks interesting you can click on it and go to a page where you will see full video of the technique, my comments and members comments and ratings of the technique. As a member you can submit your own comments and ratings of the techniques as well. You can also comment on the entire library by using the form at the bottom of this page.

I have more content to add to the library and plan on continually refining it. If you have ideas for me please use the comment form.

If you have techniques you would like to share, please submit a video using our video submission page. It does not have to be high quality, even a cell phone video can work. If it is something that can be used in the library I will re-shoot it and post it. I will give you credit if I use it, and also a few months free use of the library.

It has been said that “tools do not a master make.”  This library is a collection of tools. How you use the tools depends upon your approach.

There is a tendency among therapists to work on the painful areas first. It doesn’t help that clients will often expect you to focus on the painful areas. Experienced therapists often find that the area that is the cause of the pain is often not painful. Clients may wonder why you work on their pectoralis minor when it is their rhomboids that hurt, but they will be happy when their chronic pain is relieved.

There is another saying, “If your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” I hope that with the tools you get from this library you will be able to help more people to live pain free. Please let me know how you use these tools, and give feedback so other therapists can benefit from your experience.

Thank you,

James Mally, N.D.

Your site is very well laid out and functional. It inspires me to try to do the same. I like the comment “If your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” I see too many new therapists hammering on a reflex that is just doing its job instead of calming down or waking up the cause of the repetitive use insult.
