How to massage the back
1, back massage. Tell the person you want to start. Tell them to let you know whether anything you do is painful or uncomfortable. Part of the reason they feel comfortable is that they trust you. Now is not the time to joke or make suggestive comments.

2. Remind this person to take deep breaths regularly. This will help to relax. Pour massage oil on your palm. Start with about a teaspoon, about a quarter of the size. Rub it with your hands to warm it up before applying it to your body. Good oils are organic coconut oil, grape seed oil, jojoba oil or almond oil. There are many expensive fragrances and special massage oils on the market. You can also try them.

3. sprinkle oil around. The main technique of applying warm oil to a person's back is called outflow, which means "slight friction", and sliding action is used in long and even strokes.

4. With all your hands, start from the back and move upward. When pressing, always face the heart (the direction of blood flow), and then gently put your hand on the outside of your back. When you put your hand down, don't put pressure on it and keep in touch.

5. Repeat this maneuver for 3-5 minutes, gradually increasing from light pressure to medium pressure to warm up the back muscles. Don't forget your shoulders and neck. Use petrissage technology. Petrissage uses a shorter cycle stroke than the outflow pressure. You can think of this as a kneading technique, which uses rolling and squeezing to enhance a deeper cycle.

6. This technology can make short circular motions with palms, fingertips and even knuckles. Exercise should start from the waist, your core, not your shoulders. This will help to prevent you from getting tired.

7. Recite the whole thing for 2-5 minutes. You can alternate between this action and a lighter outflow action to diversify your skills. Without professional training, the squeezing movement can only use light to medium pressure.

8. Apply strokes and strokes. Stroke stroke (also called stroke) is a collection of repeated contact with hands for a short time. You can use your cup-shaped hand, your fingertips gather at a uniform point, or even the plane of your fingers is on the knuckles side of your hand to touch. These movements stimulate and compress tissues.

9. Keep your wrists relaxed, bend your wrists, and pat them with quick movements. This will ensure that you will not exert too much pressure. Take 2-3 minutes to apply these techniques to the whole back. Use muscle lifting techniques. To do this, close your fingers and extend your thumb (in the shape of a lobster claw). Apply pressure in twisting and lifting actions. Keep your hands alternately performing the "wiper" action.

10, move up and down for 2-3 times. Use fanning technology. Put yourself in front of the table. Put your thumb above your back, just below your neck, on both sides of your spine. Push down gently with the thumb extension, so that your pressure is directed at people's feet instead of pushing down the ground. Press either thumb alternately and move down from the top of the back to the patient's buttocks. Make sure you are massaging the muscles on both sides of the spine, not directly massaging the spine itself. Without proper training, chiropractic treatment will be very uncomfortable and dangerous.

1 1, twist. Go back to people. One hand reaches out to the far hip and the other hand is placed near the hip. Smooth movement, with one hand pulling towards you and the other pushing you away; In the middle, they should slide in opposite directions relative to each other. Repeat this action from the back until you reach the shoulder, and then come down. Repeat three times.
