Back Massage Technique, Tip 3:
Effleurage using reinforced Fingers
(Smaller area of contact, so deeper again – see diagram). Stand on the opposite side to the one that you are working on. I suggest you stand on the right side first. Push with the flats of your fingers (one hand on top of the other) away from the center line, then glide back toward the spine. Start at the lower back, and work up to the upper back (five minutes).
Back Massage Technique, Tip 4:
Stripping, using the Reinforced thumb
Glide with deep sustained pressure up the full length of the “sausage shaped” muscles either side of the spine (see diagram). Back off the pressure a little as you cover the neck. Move slowly and deliberately, feeling for knots or sensitive spots as you glide from lower to upper back. Three times each side; alternate with a couple of minutes of effleurage (techniques one to three above), and repeat the stripping.
Back Massage Technique, Tip 5:
Frictions, using the Reinforced Middle Finger:
Firm deep movements either side of each spinous process. Start to the side of the lower spine and move upward. Apply 5 frictions at each spot – more if over a sore spot.
