Massage, Bodywork, Ethics of Touch, Service
One of the rules of body mechanics for massage therapists is Line of Force. This rule stipulates that all of the transfer of movement from the body of the massage therapist to the client is done with the therapist’s body in a single line of force. This is done by aiming the hips in the direction of the movement, as well as shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, and fingers. Stacking the joints, as it were.
From June 1-7, 2008, I'm bicycling in AIDS/LifeCycle. It's a 7-day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to make a world of difference in the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS.
Help me support the San Francisco AIDS Foundation by giving what you can. We'll keep riding until AIDS and HIV are a thing of the past.
