TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

“Good Morning Class...”

“Good Morning Mam!”

“Let us pray first...”

(One Student will lead the Prayer)

(Checking of Attendance)

(Students will tell who’s absent for the day)

“So how’s your day? Is it good so far?”

“It was great Mam!”

“That’s good to know. So, are you to ready for the discussion and training of Swedish Massage?

“Yes Mam!”

“Okay that’s good, so let’s begin this with a group activity! Are you ready?

“Yes Mam!”

Motivation B. Group Activity:

The students will have to line up. Everybody on the back of another student will have to demonstrate as the teacher will ask them to do. They will come up with the following demonstration: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Haplos (Effleurage) Piga (Petrissage) Kuskos (Friction) Lindol (Vibration) Palo palo (Tapotement)

TEACHER Presentation “Very nice! I am very pleased you were able to demonstrate the task given to you. Now let’s discuss your observation. Anybody who can tell me what he/she notices or resembles our activity?” Discussion

STUDENTS (Students will give their answers)

TEACHER

STUDENTS

“Very good observation! Now, let me introduce you the five basic Swedish stroke of massage therapy. The teacher will play a video which shows an actual demonstration of the five basic Swedish stroke of massage therapy… “Would someone read the first type of Swedish stroke – the Effleurage?

(Student will volunteer to read the first sentence: “Effleurage consists of long, gliding, sweeping strokes administered with hands (both open palm and fists) and forearms. These strokes are smoothing strokes used for spreading lotion or oil on the body and to help the therapist evaluate muscle tension. As the pressure of the strokes increase, they provide a stretch to the muscles, thus allowing the client to relax.).

“Thanks. Now, I need a male volunteer so I can clearly demonstrate how it is done. Someone who can take his shirt off.

(Male student will volunteer. If no one in the class volunteers, the teacher will call someone.)

“Let’s give your classmate a warm of applause for volunteerism. Now I will demonstrate how effleurage is being done. This is how effleurage is done. First you have to sanitize with ethyl alcohol before you touches your model.”

(Students will observe the demonstration.)

“Now I want everybody to get a partner, preferably your seatmate, so we can do how effleurage is properly done.”

(Students will take a partner.)

“Is everybody having their partner already?”

(Yes M am!) (In case one student don’t have partner, he/she may group with others.)

“I will repeat how effleurage is done, then you will do it to your partner. But of course without oil or lotion. Meaning it’s a dry massage. I want the model to remain sitting, while the one who will demonstrate must stand up at the back of

the model.” “Very good! Now change position, students who are sitting will do the demonstration now.

(Change position of model and the student who will demonstrate.)

“That is wonderful! So let’s proceed to the next Swedish stroke – the Petrissage. Would someone read the second type of Swedish stroke?”

(Student will volunteer to read the second type of Swedish stroke: “Petrissage is characterized by kneading, rolling, wringing and lifting strokes, which help free up knotted and bound muscles and soft tissue, stimulate nerve endings, and aid in increasing circulation, that in turn promotes cell repair and regeneration.”)

“Thanks. Again, I need a male volunteer so I can clearly demonstrate how it is done. Someone who can take his shirt off.

(Male student will volunteer. If no one in the class volunteers, the teacher will call someone.)

“Thank you. Now I will demonstrate how Petrissage is done. Again, I have to sanitize first with ethyl alcohol because I will be touching another model.”

aq(Students will observe the demonstration.)

“With your partner, do after I demonstrated this stroke.”

(Students will observe then repeat the demonstration with their partner.)

“Very good! Now change position, students who are sitting will do the demonstration now.

(Change position of model and the student who will demonstrate.)

“Great! Now change position, students who are sitting will do the Petrissage now.

(Change position of model and the student who will demonstrate.)

“That is wonderful! So let’s proceed to the next Swedish stroke – the Friction. Would someone read the third type of Swedish stroke?”

(Student will volunteer to read the third type of Swedish stroke: “Friction is a warming stroke designed to both quickly generate heat, in preparation for deeper work, and as a way to effectively drive the therapeutic, healing properties of plantbased essential oils into the body. This

TEACHER

STUDENTS stroke can be done by rubbing back and forth along the length of the muscle or across it by either using wringing motion or small circular movements.”)

“Thanks. Again, I need a male volunteer so I can clearly demonstrate how Friction stroke is done. Someone who can take his shirt off.

(Male student will volunteer. If no one in the class volunteers, the teacher will call someone.)

“Let’s give your classmate a warm of applause for volunteerism. Now I will demonstrate how Friction is done. This is how it is done. Again, I have to sanitize first before I touch his skin with ethyl alcohol.”

(Students will observe the demonstration.)

“With your partner, do after I demonstrated Friction.”

(Students will observe then repeat the demonstration with their partner.)

“Impressive! Now change position, students who are sitting will do the demonstration now.

(Change position of model and the student who will demonstrate.)

“That is wonderful! So let’s proceed to the fourth Swedish stroke – the Vibration. Would someone read the third type of Swedish stroke?”

(Student will volunteer to read the fourth type of Swedish stroke: “Vibration refers to rocking, shaking and trembling movements applied to one limb or to the entire body. These movements, which can be done slowly or rapidly, are designed to reverberate through the surrounding tissues in order to break postural holding patterns and to facilitate a momentary release of tension in the muscle being worked on.”)

“Thanks. Again, I need a male volunteer so I can clearly demonstrate how this stroke is done. Someone who can take his shirt off.

(Male student will volunteer. If no one in the class volunteers, the teacher will call someone.)

“Let’s give your classmate a warm of applause

for volunteerism. Now I will demonstrate how Friction is done. This is how it is done. Again, I have to sanitize first before I touch his skin with ethyl alcohol.” “With your partner, do after I demonstrated Vibration.”

(Students will observe then repeat the demonstration with their partner.)

“Very good! Now change position, students who are sitting will do the demonstration now.

(Change position of model and the student who will demonstrate.)

“You’re fast learner! So let’s proceed to the fourth Swedish stroke – the Tapotement. Would someone read the third type of Swedish stroke?”

(Student will volunteer to read the last type of Swedish stroke: “Tapotement is characterized as a percussion stroke in which the hand action rhythmically stimulates nerves, muscles, and circulation. The hand position can be cupped or with palms flat, or it can be with fingers interlocked in either a palms together position or in soft fists. Used in chair massage and Shiatsu as well as Swedish massage, Tapotement strokes often signal the end of the previous stroke sequence and prepare the client to change from being positioned face down on the massage table to being face up.”)

“Thank you. Now I will demonstrate how Tapotement is done. But we need first to identify the different type of Tapotement. Any volunteer who wants to read the first Tapotement variation?

(Students will volunteer and read the first variation of Tapotement: “Hacking/ quacking: performed using the ulnar side (little finger side) of the hand in alternating) blows with the wrists kept loose.”)

“Now let’s do the Hacking/Quacking technique.”

(Students will observe the demonstration and will repeat, alternately with their partner.)

“Amazing. Now anyone who wants to read what the next Tapotement technique is.”

(Students will volunteer and read the first variation of Tapotement: “Beating is performed with the ulnar side of the hand and loose fists.”)

“Now let’s do the Beating variation.”

(Students will observe the demonstration

STUDENTS and will repeat, alternately with their partner.)

“Very good! “Now anyone who wants to read what the third Tapotement technique.”

(Students will volunteer and read the first variation of Tapotement: “Cupping is performed with the palmar side of the hand in concave position.”)

“Ok thank you. Let’s see how Cupping is appropriately done.”

(Students will observe the demonstration and will repeat, alternately with their partner.)

“Very good! “Now anyone who wants to read what the next Tapotement technique is.”

(Students will volunteer and read the first variation of Tapotement: “Slapping is performed with the palmar side usually with more finger surface than palm

“Now let’s do the Slapping technique.”

(Students will observe the demonstration and will repeat, alternately with their partner.)

“Good! “Now anyone who wants to read the definition of the last variation for Tapotement.”

(Students will volunteer and read the first variation of Tapotement: “Pincement is performed using the fingertips.”)

“Ok thank you. Let’s see how Pincement is done.”

(Students will observe the demonstration and will repeat, alternately with their partner.)

“You are all fast learner! That’s amazing! We are done now with the five basic strokes of Swedish massage.”

“Thank you Mam!”
