Do You Wish to Be Better at Giving Back Massage?

by Anthony C. Brady

Everybody would like to get a massage but not everybody feels comfortable giving them to somebody. The possibility of causing hurt to another person is a very real concern. Also, it's possible to feel afraid that the massage may not be good enough. We get scared that the other person won't appreciate what we are trying to do. Thankfully, it is absolutely possible to learn how to give a fantastic massage every time you wish to do so. Here's information on how you too can give anyone an impressive back massage.

To start, see to it that the person is comfortable while lying down. They have to be laying down on a surface that is both firm and soft. If you don't don't own a massage table, you could try them on the bed. If you have the person on the floor, provide them with some soft towels or blankets to lay down...or even invest in a comfortable mat. If the massage-ee prefers to keep his or her shirt on, be sure that the shirt is made of a softer material to prevent accidental scraping and friction build up.

Start with the standard rub. Slowly, and using the entire flat side of both of your hands, rub up from the lower back area and toward the neck. This rub should have at least some pressure in it but don't try to use your full massage pressure yet. Start at the base of the person's back and then glide your hands up the back then across the shoulders and then back down the back. As you keep doing this, make your loops smaller and smaller so that you can be sure to cover the entire back.

Using the heels of your hands offers you a great way to offer fantastic and pointed pressure. Using the heels of your palms to apply pressure, start working in little circles at the base of the back on either side of the backbone and then work those tiny circles out toward the person's sides, up a little bit and then back across to the spinal column and upward until you have massaged the entire back area.

Try sitting on one side of the individual who is receiving your massage. Next, putting one hand on top of yor other hand, push into the back using your fingers. Begin at the spine and push steadily and with good pressure across the back away from the spine and then gently sort of slide your hands back across the back toward the backbone and move upwards. Repeat as you massage up the back and then repeat on the person's other side.

Massage 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. Knead each tiny node at least five times to produce some friction before moving on to the next. Massage your way all the way up one side of the spinal column and then repeat the same thing on the other side of the spine.

One of the things to remember as you work through every one of these massage techniques is that it is good to re-relax your person between each portion of the massage you're giving. This means that after using the heels of your hands for specific applied pressure, you must go back to the rub you used at the beginning for a couple of minutes.
