Do You Want to Be Better at Back Massage?9649288

We all want to get massages but many of us are scared to give them. We're frightened of accidentally causing hurt to the other person. We are afraid that we might not help enough. We're scared that they won't like what we are doing. The good news is that it is possible to learn how to give a fantastic massage every time you want to do so. Here's how you too can give anybody an awesome back massage.

First, you need to make sure that the person is comfortable while lying down. The surface on which they are lying down should be firm but soft. there's no need for a table but see if you can have them lie down on the bed. If they are on your floor, place a mat or a few soft blankets or towels so that they will feel more relaxed. If the person would like to keep his or her shirt on, be sure that it is of a soft material so there will be less friction and itching.

Begin with a few simple rubs. Using the enture flat side of your hands, rub gradually up from the lower back toward the neck. Put some pressure into this rub but dont start with the full on massage yet. Begin at the lower back and slide your hands upwards, along either side of the backbone toward the neck then across the shoulders and back down the back. Work on making the loops smaller as you do this step again so that the entire back can get loosened up.

Try to use the heels of your hands to generate some good and direct pressure. Work the heels of your palms in little circles beginning in the middle of the base of the back and then working out toward the sides and then upwards and back in until you've massaged the entire back.

Try to sit on one of the sides of the person you are massaging. Then, with your one hand on top of yor other hand, thrust into the back with your fingers. Begin at the spinal column and dig in steadily while moving your hands away from the spinal column and across the back then gently slide your hands back across the back toward the backbone. Repeat while you work your way up the back and then repeat the process on the other side.

Rub the spinal column. Begin at the base of the back and work up each of the sausage-y muscles on each side of the spinal column with your fingers or your thumbs. Massage each little node at least five times to generate some friction before moving on to the next. Massage one side of the back and then the other.

One of the things to keep in mind as you work through every one of these massage techniques is that it is best to re-relax your person between each portion of the massage you're giving. For instance, after after each massage technique, perform the basic rub we talked about at the  beginning of  the article for  a few minutes.top article,  top article.
