Tips on how to give a Back massage
- There are some basic steps that you need to learn in order to give a soothing and adequate Back Massage, which are as follows:
- Lay the person on his stomach on a firm and comfortable surface, such as a massage bed. Be sure that you lay a person in such a place that you easily have the access and can reach across his entire back without having to reach.
- Stand or kneel by his side, placing one of your hands on his lower back and the other hand up between the shoulder blades, over the heart. Then warm up his back by applying pressure with your thumbs along both sides of his spine simultaneously. You should start at the lower back and work your way up to the neck area, rather than the other way around.
- Then use a delicate stroke to apply massage oil, and do this by using one long stroke and slide your palms down either side of the spine to the pelvis, then scoop your hands out around his hips and back up the sides to the shoulder blades. Remember to keep constant contact with the back, and always glide your hands rather than remove completely when you are moving to another area.
- You should especially work on areas that feel hard or tight, as these are called knots and working out these will immediately make the person feel calmer more relaxed. Use your fingertips; always perform clockwise circular friction along the muscles that are close to the spine and around the shoulder blades, as these are usually the areas with maximum tension. Don't forget to rotate the arms gently and regularly, one at a time, in order to help loosen the shoulder joints and enhance blood flow.
- There are large numbers of benefits that can be gained from a Back Massage, such as relaxation, increased body awareness, improved circulation, and improved lymphatic drainage for release of toxins. However, while you are giving a Back Massage, you must remember, not to put any direct pressure on the spine, and to avoid any broken skin, blisters, or areas of possible infection.
