How To Give A Relaxing Massage
Massage is more common in the Developed World now than it ever has been before. In fact, it is becoming a normal part of life like it is in the East. If you want to get more from your massage, you have to know a few things first.
The first thing to do is create the correct ambiance. It is best to give or have a massage in a warm (but not hot), airy room. The lighting should be subdued, but not dingy and you can use aromatherapy or scented candles to provide a relaxing aroma. You may play soothing ambient music, but it is not necessary.
If you are giving an oil massage, leave the oil to reach room temperature for a while before you begin. There are many oils, but jojoba, lavender or almond oils are popular.
You can give a massage on a robust table, a massage bed or on the floor (but not on a standard bed). It has to be done on a firm base, but you can lay on a few blankets, if you like. It can be done indoors or outside in the garden (my favourite).
Massage can be carried out naked or in a swimming costume, it depends on the person's personality and where you are giving the massage. Rub oil onto your hands or deep heat cream directly onto the person. Begin with the feet and move up the leg to the bottom in three phases. Do one leg at a time.
Massage the back from the neck down towards the bottom. Begin on the spine and smooth outwards. Repeat three times. Then move to the side of the person and draw the skin towards you. Knead the bottom with the fingers of a clenched fist for more power.
Tell the client to roll over and then do what you did to the legs to the arms and hands. Pull the fingers and bend them both front and back. Endeavour to make them click. Then move back to the feet and legs and start again
The chest is a sensitive region for women, but you can massage the chest of a male as you did their back. Be gentle with the stomach, but smooth the flash outwards from the centre and down towards the sides. Massage the hips and pelvis, avoiding the genitals with strangers.
Move to the head. Massage the scalp without oil, although you may use oil or Tiger Balm on the temples. Use oil on the neck and place slices of cucumber on top of the eyes if you like. Rub moisturizer into the cheeks, nose and chin. Rub the temples with your finger tips in circular motions.
Lastly, the customer can sit up and you can massage the back of the neck and the shoulders again. Ask the person to move his head around in wide circles three to five times. After the massage, the client will almost certainly appreciate 10-15 minutes rest, so just leave them in peace.
