The Basics Of Giving A Back Massage Raleigh

By Anita Ortega


Whenever people would stress out their body because of work or just moving around too much, the body part that will be most affected would actually be the back which would contain the spine. Now if a person moves around a lot like rushing to work or is simply stressed out all the time, the muscles in his back will really take it bad. Now probably one of the best ways to treat a really bad back is to have a good back massage Raleigh.

Of course when massaging this area, the first thing to think about would be the position of the masseur or masseuse and the one being massaged. Now the one being massaged should lay on his front with his arms and legs down. The masseur or masseuse will have to acquire a kneeling position beside the receiver.

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.

From that area, move the hands upward still in a circular motion until it reaches the rib cage area. From there, massage the area of the back that is very near the spine. Now it is always better to use the thumbs to handle this part because the thumbs are more precise than the entire hand.

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.

From there, he may now go to the shoulder area. Now one should stay in the shoulder area rather longer than the other parts because this is where all the stress is located. If one would feel that there is a tight muscle lump on the shoulders of the receiver, he should work on loosening those lumps as they are muscle cramps.

Now the last part of this process would be massaging the neck area. Now this produces more of a relaxing effect on the receiver as the neck has nerves that would induce relaxation. From there, quickly rub all parts of the back and finish up.
