Steal this technique!

When the client is lying on their back (supine) you can bend their knee and plant their foot on the table. Then interlace your fingers and squeeze the quads as you work from knee down to hip.

This is a clip from the technique library inside the Two Hearts Bodywork Collective. If you’d like access to these videos, comment ‘Collective’ and we will get you set up!

If you want to start earning money online while still seeing clients and doing the hands-on work you love, here’s the path👇🏼

1️⃣ Get clear on why you want online income and what role it will play in your life + practice (extra buffer? fewer clients? more time with family?) For us, online income means only 15 days of hands-on work per month while increasing income.

2️⃣ Look at your current schedule, energy, and finances so you’re not stacking more work onto an already maxed-out nervous system.

3️⃣ Choose your online income model.
Courses, memberships, 1:1 coaching, video libraries, ebooks… there is not one right way. Pick the model that actually fits how you like to teach & show up.

4️⃣ Shift into “online entrepreneur” mode. You’re not just a hands-on practitioner anymore. You’re building assets that can help people when you’re not in the treatment room.

5️⃣ Clarify your niche & brand. Who are you helping? What are you helping them with? And how can your online presence look/feel like you while still converting?

6️⃣ Grow your audience with intention.
Choose your main platforms, understand your people, and focus on doing a few things consistently instead of trying to be everywhere.

7️⃣ Set up simple tools & systems.
Nothing wild, just the basics for payments, email, delivery/scheduling so your offer doesn’t become a tech nightmare.

8️⃣ Create & package your offer. Turn what you already love to teach into a clear, outcome-driven offer with a beginning, middle, and end.

9️⃣ Plan your first launch. Warm up your audience, share value, collect social proof, and invite people in. It doesn’t have to be huge to be successful.

🔟 Protect your time & plan for long-term growth. Use time management and workflows that let you be a hybrid practitioner without burning out. Then refine, relaunch, and repeat.

This is exactly what we walk through, step by step, inside the Online Income Blueprint section of the Bodywork Business Blueprint 🫶🏼 in depth audio lessons, worksheets, and guidance made for massage therapists and bodyworkers.

Okay but actually massaging directly on and right around the knees is so underrated 😅

These hinge joints carry all of our weight and are nestled between the ankles and the hips and are very often forgotten about during a massage!!!

Now knee pain / stiffness / chronic issues are often not only addressed right at the knee but rather working the entire leg and address tension & imbalances in the quads, hamstrings, abductors, adductors, and even the feet and gait can all play a role in knee pain and dysfunction. But DANG, massage those knees. I feel this way about the elbows too 😊

Just a reminder to all the massage therapists out there that it is not your job to be a miracle worker!!!! It is your job to hold space for the miracles to happen.

Yes, sometimes massage therapists are able to provide incredible transformations. There is nothing wrong with striving to achieve results for your clients, but sometimes, achieving results go beyond what your hands are capable of OR the result requires more work for the client to do outside of bodywork alone.

We should always remember as massage therapists that our worth and the value that we provide is not driven by our ability to “fix” a clients physical issue. It is driven by the quality of space we hold, how much we care, how we educate ourselves, and how we continue showing up.

It can be easy to be hard on yourself and feel like you have to solve your clients every ache and pain, and that is just not doable or realistic.

Holding is sometimes when the greatest things for our client can occur. The moment when they realize how much they deeply needed the time to simply relax, the time they spend allowing their nervous system to unwind, the reminders given about stretching, strengthening, and general self care. The space massage and bodywork gives a client can allow them to “reset” their self care rhythm and tune into what their body truly needs beyond just the bodywork we can give.

Just the other day, I had a client who kept having persistent cramping. It was something we both noticed in all of his sessions and something he dealt with off the table. He really enjoyed having his legs worked, but they would always cramp when I moved into work on them, even with light touch. He decided to start taking magnesium and increasing his electrolytes and the cramping went away completely. At our last session we were able to massage his legs and feet thoroughly and he said, “if it wasn’t for these massages, I would have never made that change.”

You are an amazing massage therapist. You don’t need to “fix” everyone you see. You just have to hold space for them to relax, be present in their bodies, and encourage them to do it more consistently. We all need this kind of space holding!

Here’s why 👇

💛 Consistent Income:
When your clients pay monthly instead of each visit, your income becomes predictable. No more guessing what next month will look like.

💛 Better Client Retention:
Memberships create commitment. Your clients are more likely to show up regularly, see better results, and become long-term clients instead of one-time sessions.

💛 Makes Marketing Easy:
When your schedule is filled with loyal members, you don’t have to constantly hustle for new clients. You get to nurture the ones you already have and enjoy more freedom in your marketing.

💛 Higher Client Lifetime Value:
A client who visits once might pay you $100. A member who stays for a year might pay $1,200+. The math speaks for itself.

Memberships aren’t just a way to make more money, they’re a way to create stability, freedom, and longevity in your massage career.

Inside the Bodywork Business Blueprint, we show you exactly how to build, price, and launch your own membership model.

Side-lying massage is one of the most underused positions in our field, even though it helps with things prone and supine positions can’t. Most of us only learned a quick version in school, but once you understand how useful it is, it can become a go-to tool for comfort, access, and safety.

Below are some of the most common reason to suggest side lying massage for your client!

Pregnancy comfort and safety:
Side-lying is often more comfortable for pregnant clients because it takes pressure off the belly, gives them more space to breathe, and supports the low back.

Low back pain relief:
Side-lying lets you work on the lumbar spine, quadratus lumborum, gluteus medius, and deep hip rotators. The spine stays in a neutral position, which can calm low-back tension and reduce pain.

Space for shoulder mobility:
In side-lying, the scapula can move freely. This gives better access to the rotator cuff, the side of the ribs, and the back of the shoulder. And you can incorporate more range of motion for the shoulder in this position.

Gentle, trauma-informed approach:
Side-lying often feels safer and less exposed. Clients can see the room, breathe easily, and settle into the table without feeling stuck or hidden. This helps the nervous system relax.

Geriatric client comfort:
Older adults may have trouble lying flat on their back or stomach because of neck limits, hip pain, or breathing issues. Side-lying supports their body in a way that feels natural and comfortable while still allowing full-body work.

QL and sciatic access:
If you’ve struggled to reach the QL in prone, side-lying makes it simple. The tissues soften and the hip can be positioned for better access.

Side-lying isn’t just a backup plan. It’s a powerful and comfortable way to help many different clients receive the massage they need.

Finding any massage client to get on your table will bring you some cash. But finding IDEAL clients to get on your table will build you a sustainable business that profits for years to come.

Not every client is created equal, and these are just a few of the key signs that you have found an A+ client.

Sometimes finding these diamonds in the rough can be tricky. But if you comment ‘Blueprint’ we will send you the exact program that hundreds of massage therapists are using to book out their schedule with IDEAL clients ❤️

Reciprocal Inhibition is an AMAZING tool to use during your massages.

Here’s how it works: when one muscle (or muscle group) contracts, the antagonist muscle (or muscle group) has to turn off in order to allow movement.

If the goal is to stretch, soften, and lengthen the quadriceps muscle group, we can activate the hamstrings (forcing the quads to turn off) and then move the quads into a stretch. This helps the quads relax and soften before we move them into a stretch.

This principle can be applied to many different muscles and muscle groups and is an excellent neuromuscular technique to facilitate more change in your clients, with less time and effort.

This clip is pulled directly from the Quadriceps massage technique video within our online bodywork community. This is one of many videos we offer in order to help your hands on skills grow alongside your business skills.
