What Are Body Mechanics Anyway?Body Mechanics in massage therapy is the effective positioning and use of your body to avoid excess pressure on your hands and arms. It is an important factor to your 'massage longevity'! Every time we teach a Couples Massage Class, someone says, "After two minutes massaging her/his neck, I feel like my hands are going to fall off, but I want to be able to do it longer, because it helps her/him feel better." THIS is the key to how to give a massage that is relaxing for both of you, and not developing your own repetitive strain injury at the same time!
