The Basics Of Giving A Back Massage Raleigh

By Anita Ortega


The back is known to be the most stressed out part of the body simply because it is the part that holds all of the other body parts like the head, the arms, and the legs together. It is because of this that while doing everyday routines like standing, walking or sitting, the back takes a real beating. It is because of this that one would need a regular back massage Raleigh if he leads an active lifestyle.

Now when one starts massaging a person, he has to make sure that the receiver and himself are both in the right positions to be massaged. Now the position of the receiver is basically on his front with the arms and legs relaxed. The one massaging on the other hand, has to kneel right beside the one receiving.

Now the first thing that the one massaging should do would be to start with the base of the neck. Now before the session even begins, one has to first make sure that he places his right hand on the base of the neck and the other on the base of the spine. From there, he should just hold that position for a while.

After doing that little warm up, one may now put some oil on the body of the receiver and start with everything. Now the very first place to start would be the area that is just above the bottom which is somewhere in the gut or stomach area. Now the one massaging has to use his whole hands to massage that part with the fingers pointing upward.

Once that is already done, then the next part that one should aim for would be the part right above the gut which is the part that contains the rib cage. For this part, he should use his thumbs to rub the area of the back around the spine. Now it is here that he may actually start applying some pressure.

After finishing that part, then one may move up slowly to the back muscles located in the upper part right below the shoulders. Now one has to make sure that he would hit the right pressure points because this is what will cure the back. Now the amount of pressure he puts will be depending on how much stress the receiver has.

Once that is done, slowly move up to the shoulder region and start concentrating on this area. Now do take note that this is where all the stress is which means this is where the muscles bunch up. So one has to make sure that he is very precise when it comes to pressing the points here so that he may unblock the clogs.

Now the last part to concentrate on would be the neck. Now this is also the part where the receiver relaxes the most as massaging this part is the most relaxing of all the parts here. Once one is done massaging the neck, he should then rub the entire back for a little while and finish up.
