00:00:00 - 00:30:00

In the "Masajes Clase 8" YouTube video, the instructor delves deeper into the relaxing massage techniques , discussing the importance of understanding anatomy and bones. The human skeleton, composed of 208 bones, provides structure, protection, movement, and various metabolic functions. Long bones, which have larger ends and a central part, differ from flat and irregular bones. Articulations, the unions of two or more bones, come in various degrees of movement, and the instructor discusses synovial and fibrous articulations. The instructor also emphasizes the importance of cartilages in joints and ligaments in providing stability. The session highlights the need for maintaining contact with the patient, using appropriate products, and creating a pleasant environment for relaxation. Techniques for applying cream during a massage and working on the lower leg are demonstrated, with a focus on maintaining good posture and using warm towels or aromatherapy for enhanced relaxation. The session concludes with a relaxing massage for the lower limbs and a reminder that the body on the massage table is a living being, requiring activation of the circulatory system through massage techniques and joint mobilizations.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the "Masajes Clase 8" YouTube video, the instructor begins the eighth class by introducing the osteoarticular system and delving deeper into the relaxing massage. Previously, students have learned massage techniques for the legs, and now they will explore how these techniques work. The instructor explains that the relaxing massage is not what one might expect and that understanding anatomy and bones is crucial. The human skeleton is composed of 208 bones, and their functions include providing structure, protection, movement, and the transmission of sound. Bones have both mechanical and metabolic functions, and the mechanical function involves creating a solid structure for articulation and protecting vital organs. The metabolic function includes the storage of minerals, production of growth factors, and the maintenance of energy balance, pH equilibrium, and detoxification. The instructor also discusses hematopoiesis, the process of blood cell production that occurs within the bones.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the "Masajes Clase 8" YouTube video, the instructor discusses the differences between long bones and other types of bones, such as flat and irregular bones. Long bones have larger ends called epiphyses and a central part called the diaphysis, which distinguishes them as long bones. The instructor then moves on to discuss articulations, explaining that they are the unions of two or more bones and come in various degrees of movement. Some articulations, like those in the wrist and ankle, have a greater range of movement, while others, like those in the skull, have limited or no movement. The instructor also mentions the difference between synovial and fibrous articulations, with synovial articulations having a greater range of movement and fibrous articulations having limited movement. The instructor then goes on to discuss the specific articulations in the body, including those in the lower extremities and those in the spine, and explains the role of the fibrous tissue that connects the bones in these articulations.
• 00:10:00 In this section of the "Masajes Clase 8" YouTube video, the speaker discusses the importance of cartilages in joints and the role of ligaments in providing stability. They also introduce the concept of a relaxing massage, which aims to help individuals achieve a state of calm in the body that they may not be able to obtain naturally. The speaker emphasizes the importance of creating a pleasant environment for the massage, using components like music therapy, chromotherapy, and aromatherapy. They also stress the need for using appropriate products for massages to ensure a smooth and pleasant experience for the client.
• 00:15:00 In this section of the "Masajes Clase 8" YouTube video, the importance of maintaining contact with the patient and being well-prepared during a massage session is emphasized. The speaker explains that losing contact or forgetting essential tools can disrupt the relaxation process. They recommend having everything organized and within reach before attending to a patient. The discussion also touches upon the role of a massage therapist as a holistic caregiver, taking care of the body, mind, and spirit. The video then transitions to demonstrating a relaxing massage, starting with the feet and moving up to the back. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of antisepsia before starting the massage.
• 00:20:00 In this section of the "Masajes Clase 8" YouTube video, the instructor demonstrates how to apply cream during a massage session. She emphasizes the importance of keeping contact with the client and using an organizer to make the process more efficient. The instructor also explains that the cream should be left exposed on the client's skin between applications to maintain its effect. She advises keeping one hand on the client while applying the cream with the other, and using a rolling pin or other tool to cover the client's body while keeping them covered. The instructor also mentions the importance of aligning the client's legs and using a curved position to make moving their legs easier during the massage.
• 00:25:00 In this section of the "Masajes Clase 8" YouTube video, the speaker begins the massage in the anterior region of the lower leg, which has more bones and can be particularly fragile. It's essential to be careful not to cause discomfort or pain, as this area is not a contracture-relaxing zone. The speaker advises maintaining good posture while working, focusing on the muscles in the lateral part of the leg. They also suggest using a sitting position with the leg resting on the thigh for better access and control. Additionally, the speaker introduces the use of warm towels or aromatherapy during the massage to enhance relaxation. The goal is to repeat the same movements throughout the massage to ensure everyone follows along and to avoid causing discomfort by applying too much pressure or forcefully manipulating the lower back and lumbar region.
• 00:30:00 In this section of the "Masajes Clase 8" YouTube video, the speaker emphasizes that the body on the massage table is not a corpse but a living being with movement. Activating the circulatory system involves not only massage techniques but also joint mobilizations. They have learned the importance of movement in every joint, and they demonstrate how to work on the lower body and posterior areas. Additionally, they perform mobilizations at the knee, ankle, and hip levels, always being mindful of privacy when working on unclothed areas. The session concludes with a relaxing massage for the lower limbs for those watching instead of participating in the practice. The next classes will cover more techniques for the decubitus dorsal and decubitus ventis positions. [ Music]
