Section 1 (Original DVD's #1 & #2): "Fundamentals of Deep Tissue Massage and Myofascial Release". Massage strokes can be empty gestures if not performed with specific intention and with a strong but nurturing touch. This 3-hour section lays the groundwork for the following 8 hours of specific session planning in sections 2 and 3 by demonstrating proper biomechanics, use of powerful tools (knuckles, fists, forearms, and elbows), and specific strokes and safety concerns.
