Sheet Massage, The Ultimate Cradle

How To Do It
Sheet massage not only feels great, it’s fun and easy to do. It does, however, require a floor space large enough to do full-body moves. All of the work will be done with you, the therapist, either kneeling or standing above your client. If you decide to integrate sheet massage into your table work, you will have to choose moves that would work for a table and perhaps adjust them a bit. Either way, it is best to learn the movements on the floor, as it is the easiest and safest place to start.

For floor work, the client usually remains dressed. The moves on the ground are more dynamic than they would be on the table and could chafe bare skin. The moves are also sometimes a bit exposing, and the client will feel more comfortable clothed or at least wearing underwear. The moves that you would be doing on the table are not as exposing or dynamic as the floor moves, thus it is not necessary for a table client to be dressed.

Whether on the ground or on a table, the client should remove jewelry, loose clothing and his shoes.
