Massage techniques

Begin with gentle effleurage:
• Start with light, gliding strokes to spread the oil and warm up the muscles.
• Use both hands to cover large areas like the back, legs, and arms, moving towards the heart to aid circulation.
Petrissage for muscle kneading:
• After warming up the muscles, use kneading motions to work deeper.
• Focus on areas of tension, moving slowly and applying more pressure to manipulate muscle tissue.
Incorporate friction techniques:
• Use the fingers, thumbs, or palms to create deep, circular movements in areas with knots or tightness.
• This helps to break down adhesions and increase blood flow.
Apply tapotement strokes:
• Gently tap the muscles with the sides of your hands or fingertips.
• This technique is invigorating and helps to stimulate the area.
Use long, slow strokes for integration:
• Return to effleurage, using long, slow strokes to integrate the
work done on the muscles and promote relaxation.
Target specific areas:
Depending on the client’s needs, you might incorporate specialized
techniques such as trigger point therapy, stretching, or myofascial
release to address specific issues.

Wind down gradually
• Slowly reduce the pace and pressure of your strokes to transition the session towards closure.
• Cover the treated areas with a warm towel or blanket to help the client retain heat and comfort.
End with a gentle awakening

• Gently place your hands on the client’s shoulders, arms, or back.
• Quietly inform them that the session has ended and encourage them to take their time getting up.
