What modalities do you do now? Can't make good suggestions on what to add if we don't know what you already do.

Sounds like you have a sound base to work from.I would suggest taking a class Iin using arms rather than hands, such as, lomilomi or korean acupressure, ashiatsu, korean martial therapy, etc.

YES! Hands-free Thai massage. You almost exclusively use your feet and legs, which are much stronger than your arms and hands. I am a tiny person and a one hour massage using my hands and arms is tiring, but when I use my feet, I can get deeper into the tissues and I don't even feel like I'm working!

Chuck Duff has a hands-free instructional thai massage video that is well worth the 40-50 dollars. He also teaches classes in Evanston, IL, if that's close to you.
