How to perform a preventive full body massage

Massage is a procedure that can be used to cure a number of diseases and improve physical and psychological well-being. The essence of preventive massage is that the patient does not have to be sick or suffer from any illness in order to feel the effect of the procedure. Preventive massage can be performed at any time to prevent the development of diseases and stressful situations.

All a person should feel from a massage is lightness, relaxation and pleasant touches. All techniques and movements that will be proposed for implementation are intended only for preventive purposes and cannot replace therapeutic massage. The main goal is to relieve stress and tension.

Stress and tension will disappear from the first minute

Self-massage

Self-massage is a type of massage that can be performed at any free minute. This massage is also beneficial for the body, like other types. Many people don’t even think about the fact that when they rub a stiff shoulder or a wrinkle on their forehead, they perform a small self-massage. Take note and perform the techniques throughout the day. By the evening you will feel the fatigue and tension disappear.

Shoulders and face

Let's consider the technique of preventive massage in the area of ​​the shoulders and face. It is in the shoulders and neck that a lot of tension accumulates at the end of the working day. Regular massaging of this area will avoid overstrain and give the muscles the opportunity to rest. So let's begin:

1. Squeeze and begin to knead your shoulder with your hand. Then repeat the same with the other shoulder.
2. Moving on to the face: use your fingertips to make several circular movements, starting from the chin area and smoothly move upward. If your arms are tired, lie on the floor and perform this technique while lying down.

Hand massage

Hands are subject to a lot of stress because they are the most overworked part of the body. Regular hand massage will bring great benefits. In particular, massage should be performed by those people who work at the computer. Among other things, hands are a tool that needs careful care and attention.

1. We begin the procedure by pinching the gap between each finger in turn. This technique will improve blood circulation and relieve accumulated tension.
2. After kneading, you need to gently pull each finger. The purpose of this technique is to stretch the tendons.
3. Using your thumb and index finger, stretch each finger of your other hand. Then do the same technique with the other hand.
4. Finally, use your thumb to make circular movements on your other hand. The movements must be deep enough.
