The wording of awesome.club tested all the tips and recommends that, in practice, you perform the movements quickly.

Turn off your cell phone and anything else that might interrupt your relaxation. Prepare the place in a way that makes it pleasant for you and for the other. All you need is quiet music, candles, massage oils and some warm towels. The towels will be used to successively cover the areas of the body that have already been massaged.

The legs accumulate a lot of stress. Therefore, when massaging this part of the body, gently squeeze the entire surface, so as not to cause discomfort. You can gently pull on each of your toes.

After the foot, make gentle movements across the entire back of the surface, avoiding the depression found under the kneecap: this part should not be massaged. Move up from the tibia to the thigh, rubbing and lightly squeezing the muscle. When you finish the first leg, cover it with the towel and move on to the other leg.

After the legs, continue gently to the lower back, remembering not to put too much pressure on this area. Stretch the entire area, making wide movements in the muscle. Go to the top and perform movements from the spine towards the ribs, keeping your palms perpendicular to each other. After that, you can continue with discontinuous movements with your fingers over the entire surface of the back, including the shoulders, which should be pressed with the thumbs, but without exaggeration.

Position the massaged person’s arms at the sides of the body, and press the hands across its surface, paying special attention to the forearm muscles. The movement should be smooth and deep. After that, hold the person’s hand and massage the entire thumb. Make small movements in a circular fashion. Don’t forget to pull each finger and massage it.

Ask the person to lie on their back. With your thumbs, start the massage along the hair growth line, where you can even lightly scratch the skin. Stretch the pinna with your thumbs and index fingers, but don’t keep it stretched for too long. Place your hands on the face of the person being massaged, so that your thumbs gently massage the forehead, eyebrows and the space between them. Complete this procedure with gentle movements around the temples.

Massage is not recommended in the following cases:

Skin lesions and large signs Spinal problems (hernias, scoliosis, etc.) Impaired blood clotting Thrombosis and blood vessel problems Osteoporosis, oncology, diabetes (thinning of the skin) other serious illnesses Fever

Before starting the massage, pour oil on your hands, without applying it directly on the back, hands or legs of the person being massaged For basic movements, use the base of the palm of the hand; for more sensitive points, it is better to use the rest of the palm Do not press on the bones, and massage along the muscles Keep a slow rhythm Do not forget to dedicate the same time to each part of the body worked
