• Some essential oils to use are organic coconut oil, grape seed oil, jojoba oil, or almond oil. There are also a variety of expensive and signature scent massage oils on the market to choose from.

Apply essential oils evenly around the back area. The main technique applied when applying oil to the back is the "gentle massage" technique, evenly rubbing the warmed essential oil in the palm of the hand gently over the massaged person's back. Hand moves to slide long, gently, evenly.

• Use both hands and start at the back of the person being massaged and move upwards. Always move up in the direction of the person's heart (where blood is circulating) as you apply force. Then gently move your hand down to the outer part of your back. Maintain this movement and do not apply pressure as you bring your hands down to the outside of your back.
• Repeat this technique for 3 to 5 minutes while gradually increasing from mild to moderate force to warm your back muscles.
• Don't forget to do this for both the shoulder and neck area.

Use a technique with gentle circular movements and more force than a gentle massage. You can imagine this technique with the movements of rounding and pressing to help better blood circulation.

• This method can use the hand, finger, or even the knuckle with short circular motions.
• Should start rounding from the waist is the center, not from the shoulders. This will help you to be less tired.
• Massage over the entire back for 2 to 5 minutes. You can alternate between the light massage techniques and the circular and press techniques to diversify the techniques.
• Due to lack of professional training, you should only create mild to moderate force when using circular and squeeze movements.

Using percussion technique (also known as clapping technique) is a combination of short and repeated bumps on parts of the hand. You can bring your hands together in a cup shape, your fingertips to pinch a point, or you can also use the flat part of your knuckles to do the clapping action. These movements have a stimulating and compressive effect on body tissue.

• Keep your wrists soft and flexible when applying fast-moving clapping. Make sure you are not applying excessive force.
• Apply this technique for 2 to 3 minutes on the entire back.

Use muscle lifting techniques. To do this, squeeze your fingers and hold your hand so that your thumb is free (like a crayfish shape). Use force for twisting and lifting movements. Alternate hands with movements such as "wipers".

• Move up and down the back about 2-3 times.

Using propeller technique. Stand at one end of the massage table. Place the thumbs on the head of the person being massaged so that they are directly below the neck and sides of the spine. Perform "propeller" movements with the thumb extended, gently pushing down the lower back so that the angle of pressure is placed in the direction of the toes being massaged rather than the angle going straight to the ground. . Apply pressure alternately on two thumbs, moving from the top of the back toward the hips.

• Make sure you are massaging the muscles on both sides of your spine, not just directly on the spine. Massage your spine can be uncomfortable, even dangerous if you don't have proper training.

Use twisting technique. Return to the masseuse's direction. Touch the side of the side far away from you with one hand. The other hand is on this side of the hip. With essential oil movement, pull one hand toward you and the other away; in the center, the muscles slide in opposite directions. Repeat this movement up the back until you reach the shoulders, then back down again. Repeat this 3 times.

Advice

• Advise the person to slowly get up. After being massaged, people often forget about the previous feeling of relaxation and only feel dizzy, or even fall on the floor.
• Each person has a different resistance to pressure, make sure to ask how the person feels before you do any stronger movements, and only as much as necessary. One sign that you are overpowering is that when you press, the muscles contract. If your client insists that your movements are painless, encourage them to relax to avoid damaging their muscles. Never be reluctant to perform movements that are too much for your body to bear.
• Use lighter force when moving toward the head and more force when moving down to the hips.
• Try to keep your hands active on the person being massaged to create a feeling of continuity and evenly apply the massage oil. Let your hands move in the movement of the massage oil without stopping.
• Use mild to moderate strength training if you've never taken a formal massage course. If you are interested in massages and are serious about getting to know them, check out the reputable massage centers near the area. Or even if you don't want to study full-time like a licensed massage therapist, many centers offer weekend massage training courses to teach you how to do the basic techniques one by one. safe way.
• Once you've finished massaging, you can put a towel over the person's back and hands and pat gently to absorb most of the essential oils. Otherwise, the excess oil will get on their clothes.
• If massage time is limited, place a clock by to keep up with the progress.
• The body lotion works as well as a massage essential oil.
