Learn How To Give A Massage Is Next Step From Self Massage

When experiencing everyday aches and pains, adopting the knowledge of how to give

a massage and using self massage techniques, you are acknowledging one of the easiest and most effective methods available for instant healing. And as soon as you can give relief to your own muscle ailments, you will be able to use your skills on others to bring about welcome relief.

It has to be recognised that the human touch has powerful properties and its effectiveness can be witnessed by the simple rubbing of the skin when pain is felt, with a soothing feeling becoming almost instantly experienced. Through the use of self massage techniques, benefits such as the soothing and relaxation of muscles, improvements in the body's blood circulation and digestive system are to be gained. And it is important to remember that it is not just physical but psychological benefits as well to be gained through the creation of the feeling of well being and relaxation.

The three areas of the body that can be worked on through self massage are the hands, feet and shoulders. The techniques for self massage on the hands include using the palm of one hand to glide over the other, squeezing and stroking palms and fingers plus pulling each finger at the base and tip. It is important not to leave out circular motions through the use of the thumb on both the palm and back of the hand.

Don't ignore the important of concentrating attention on the feet as many incidences of back pain originate from what seems like an incidental foot ailment. The simple techniques for effective self massaging the feet are very similar to that of the hands. Using the thumb to put pressure on the soles of the foot is a good method for releasing tight muscles. It is important not to miss out on the ankles where the techniques of sliding up and down with the hand and pressure point movements with the thumb are beneficial.

Through the self massaging of the shoulders, you can assist in reducing the incidences of a stiff neck, painful shoulders where movement is restricted and the suffering from headaches. The massage techniques involve using stroking movements around the curve of each shoulder plus concentrating on the area of the back of the head and then ensuring that this is continued all the way to the elbows. Remember to ensure completion of this routine by then using a stroking action to the face and front of the neck, shoulders and arms.

Once you have practised self massage techniques, it is fairly easy to use them on another person though to be technically proficient, it is important to further increase your knowledge of how to give a massage by studying and practising the techniques for defined areas of the body. It won't take long before you notice that you have the skill to make a positive contribution for healing the muscular pain and weariness of others.
