I remember you did two trainings with us. One involved use of higher amount of oil and another involved use of minor amount of oil. As you might remember, both involved moving the hands over the body. The right terminology is, ‘giving a stroke’. By definition it means moving your hand over a part of body from point A to point B. The movement can be long or short. But it’s a movement.
Keeping clothes on the body restricts that movement. The massages that you learnt, practically are not possible to give with clothes on, accept the stretching part of Ayurveda Yoga Massage. But stretching part of Ayur veda Yoga massage is only one fourth of the total massage. If you only will do the stretching’s then that is not massage but more a supportive stretching workout.
There are massage techniques that are done with client covered with a sheet. But the client is still undressed under the sheet. Ayurveda Yoga Massage and Abhyanga that you learnt are not possible without uncovering the part that is being worked upon.
You are a Doctor. You will understand what I mean. Its like a patient having a wound and needs application of ointment or some lotion. If the patient is unwilling to uncover that part then its basically not possible to treat it. Massage is a treatment of the whole body. The ones that you learnt require you to treat the whole body. It requires you to have a direct contact to the skin and tissues and move over them. So if you do not want to uncover them, then you cannot do the massage, unless you want to work only to the exposed parts like face, feet and hands.
There are pressure based massages as well where there are no strokes involved. That means you do not have to move your hands from point A to B on the body. In these kinds of massages you apply pressure with hands, thumb, knuckles or even feet. Shiatsu, acupressure or even thigh massage. In thigh massage or shiatsu you can apply pressure along with supportive stretches. Such massages do not require clients to take off their clothes.

Very interessant the idea of sharing studies with us.
And now, a doubt coming from who had learned only massage to undressed people.
How to do that to dressed people? Wich body zoneszones to work? and how?
Hope you can clarify that.
Regards
Ana
