Home massage for the whole body

For each of us, massage is a very useful procedure. Today it can be called a part of our daily life. Therefore, everyone needs to master a few simple massage techniques. Home massage will help you achieve the desired result with simple and effective techniques.

The main benefit of a home massage is relaxation, so that during the procedure the partner can completely relax and feel comfortable. With complete relaxation, the massage will be more effective.

Execution Features

To perform the procedure correctly, certain conditions must be met.

Working surface

The surface on which the massage will be performed must be hard. A table or floor is suitable for this. When performing a massage on the floor, you can lay out several towels or a blanket to make your partner comfortable. The room temperature should be warm and comfortable. The lighting is best soft for greater relaxation. When massaging your back, place a pillow under your chest; when working on the front of your legs, place a pillow under your knees.

Massage Oil

You can make your own massage oil. To do this, you need to take any plant-based oil, for example, sweet almond oil, and add a few drops of any essential oils. This ratio will be extremely effective for massage. Alternatively, olive oil or regular talcum powder will do.

The prepared massage oil should always be at your fingertips so that you can use it at any time. Before use, warm the oil in your hands and then apply to your body. If you are performing a full body massage, do not lubricate the entire body with oil at once, but only the massaged area.

Contact

It is important to maintain energetic contact with your partner. Try to be in the same mood. Not only the partner should be completely relaxed and calm, but also the massage therapist himself. Your hands should be as relaxed as possible, your breathing should be even, your posture should be straight. If you need to increase the pressure during the massage, use your body weight, applying full pressure without straining your fingers.

Partner massage

With the help of a massage procedure, you can strengthen your relationship with your partner, establish spiritual intimacy, share your feelings, and relieve tension. For the procedure to be most effective, you need to be well prepared for the massage. Here are some tips:

1. The massage must be carried out on a hard surface; a bed is not suitable for this. It is best to perform the procedure on the floor.
2. Clothes should be loose and should not restrict your movements. You should feel comfortable and comfortable.
3. Make sure your partner is warm and comfortable.
4. You must be completely focused on the massage. If you don't know how to massage properly, start with soft strokes, gradually moving to overstressed areas.
5. Never pour the oil directly onto the body; it should first be warmed in your hand and used as needed.
6. Massage techniques should be soft and rhythmic. Balance the force of pressure based on your partner’s reaction.
7. All movements should be directed towards the heart.
8. You cannot perform a massage if a person has infectious skin diseases, inflammation, chronic diseases, or pregnancy.

The “pulling” technique is the main one in this massage. We represent the direction of movement.

Back massage is one of the most effective ways to relax. A properly performed massage will relieve tension and fatigue that has accumulated throughout the day.
