Below are the free videos that supplement The Pain-Free Massage Therapist Paperback. For organizational purposes, the instructional videos below are arranged according to chapters in the book. If you just need a specific strategy or technique to help you with one particular issue, by all means, jump to the videos in that chapter. But if you do jump, please circle back to the beginning–Chapter 1: Lean–because leaning is important and applicable to almost every body-saving technique I show you.
