Massage expert Susan G. Salvo demonstrates a brief and effective lower back routine. She targets muscles such as the quadratus lumborum, psoas, and paraspinals with massage and stretching techniques. Salvo also throws in a little PNF. Use these techniques to help your clients reduce their lower back pain.
Thanks Susan for putting these videos online. They are informative, and you are as clear and thorough online as you are when you’re teaching in person! I think these videos are a much better review and learning experience than most of the CEU courses I’ve taken!
I was so excited when I saw that your username is LAmassageschool – googled hoping that the school would be local so I could take continuing ed. classes from you. Went to the school’s website and realized that “LA” stands for Louisiana, not Los Angeles in this case :( oh well! Awesome instruction :D
this excellent… ive used this technique on many cleints…thanks so much for your instructions…i like to use the visional analogy that when they r in the fetal position their spine is like a slinky as the spine opens…
Wonderful work Susan. I Study under Barry Harwood in Perth, Australia – He is brilliant and certainly the best Massage Guru I know, however, he does not have all of his work filmed in such a way as you do for ongoing reference. I am thoroughly enjoying all of your videos and I would like to commend you on posting them. Love your attitude too! -Karl.
@lemuthful Thanks. I’ll try to post a few more later this year. I’m currently in the throws of the fourth edition of my first book. Lot’s of changes on the horizon…

@midknightbluez Thanks. I appreciate your comment. Wish I had more time to film and post a few new routines.

I love the idea of being pulled, stretched, and rocked in a massage. I can take it.
