WARM YOUR HANDS
AND OIL BEFOREHAND
Before giving a massage, warm your
hands. Cold hands do not feel pleasant on
the body, and they can cause the person
who is receiving the massage to tense up.
Rubbing your hands, using massage oil or
lotion before you start, is all that is needed
to begin with pleasantly warm hands.
Put massage oil into your hands and rub
them together before placing the oil on
the back. Cold oils do not feel good on the
skin, and the massage will not get off to
the best start. It is better to put some oil
on your hands, then spend a bit of time
rubbing them together. Friction gets the
oil to room temperature, and allows you to
get started.
GET A PRENATAL MASSAGE
Prenatal massages are extremely
useful for pregnant mothers dealing with
stress, pains, and hormones. It increases
the blood flow to both you and your
baby, and it allows you to become relaxed.
Women who have prenatal massages tend
to have babies who grow much quicker
than those who do not have any massages
during their pregnancy.
PLAY SOFT BACKGROUND MUSIC
When you get ready to give a massage,
play some soft background music.
The soft music serves to relax the
recipient of the massage. This will help
you optimize the overall quality of your
massage. You’ll be able to work out the
tight muscles better and give a more
effective massage.
Now you know some of what there is
to know about massage. That can relax
you and helps if your life is full of
stress. Use the suggestions here to get a
great massage.
