Things You'll Need:
- Bed or massage table
- Person receiving massage
- Body oil, if needed
-
Step 1
Have the person lay front-side-down on a soft and steady surface. Being in a comfortable position for the massage will make it a more enjoyable experience.
-
Step 2
Focus on the main spots, such as the head, neck, shoulders and back. These parts of the body carry a lot of tension and feel the greatest relief.
-
Step 3
Stand beside the person and begin by using your hands in a circular motion to massage bilateral sides of the head. Apply slight pressure all around the head and behind the ears.
-
Step 4
Run your hands down to the person's neck. Perform an oval-shape motion with your fingers around the sides of the neck. Focus on the base of the skull where some headaches begin.
-
Step 5
Slide your hands down to the person’s shoulders. Grip both of the shoulders and begin massaging with a bread-kneading motion.
-
Step 6
Glide palms down to the back region. Apply some pressure in a circular motion on the lower back and work your way up to the area around the shoulder blades.
-
Step 7
Offer to repeat the massage on any areas that are still tense.
