Back Massage Techniques: Using the common effleurage technique of a smooth and rhythmic motion, a back massage can gently relieve pressure on the spine and improve circulation throughout the entire body.

Deep Tissue Massage Techniques: A slow focused and deep pressure applied to any trouble areas can help release toxins and overtime knots that have accumulated due to stress and everyday activities.

Facial Massage Techniques: Facial massage promotes relaxation and relieves tension and the benefits can be felt throughout the entire body. These massages are generally shorter in length to avoid stretching or lengthening the facial muscles. Gentle touch is used to increase circulation and each location is worked softly from the forehead to the chin.

Neck Massage Techniques: The first step involves relaxing the neck and back muscles, to better receive the massage. Gently squeeze or knead the shoulders for about a minute. As you gently squeeze the shoulder, raise the shoulder toward the ears, hold for a few seconds and lower back down. Rub the back of the neck in a circular motion, begin at the base of the neck and work towards the skull.

Body Massage Techniques: Massaging the body can incorporate many different techniques, including deep tissue massage techniques as well as Swedish massage techniques. Basic massage techniques include fan, circular and thumb stroking, basic kneading, circular pressure, static pressure, cat stroking and knuckling.

Any number of massage techniques can be used to improve your quality of life. Receiving a massage will help you reduce stress and increase the flow of oxygen to your body. Giving massages can also be good for the soul as the gentle rhythm of a massage has a calming affect on both the masseuse as well as the one receiving the massage. Back massage, facial massage, neck massage and deep tissue massage techniques can all be used in combination to create a body massage that will get you ready to face the world all over again, almost as if you were reborn.
