Massage Using Reinforced Four Fingers

1. Warm the massage oil by putting the container in a bowl of hot water.

2. Stand on the opposite side of the body that you want to work on in order to have better leverage. Apply a light layer of oil.

3. Place the flats of the fingers of one hand next to the spine on the lower back. Place the fingers of the other hand on top of the first hand. This reinforces the lower hand.

4. Press in and push away from the spine, toward the side. Slide easily back to the starting place.

5. Massage like this about three to four times in each spot, working your way from the bottom of the spine to the top of the spine.

6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 on the other side of the body.

8. Reinforce the middle finger of one hand with the fingers of the other hand.

11. Repeat on the other side of the back.
