How to do a proper body massage? What are the benefits?
Benefits of massaging across the muscle fibers
This sort of massage is highly excellent for releasing stiff muscles and
a stressed mind.
You do this massage by stroking or holding across the direction of the
muscle fibers or across tendons.
You take one region after the other. You begin by massaging each part
softly, superficially, and slow to warm up, and then proceed by rubbing
deeper, harder, and more rapidly.
According to the size and characteristics of the area you treat, you can
utilize different forms of manipulation.
You can use a few fingers at a tiny region, or to reach deep into a
tight spot You can rub with all your fingertips or with the palm of your hand
at wider regions.
To generate a harsher effect, you can use your finger knuckles.
Benefits of massaging along the muscle fibers
This form of massage will deliver the following effects: Stiffness will
be decreased or healed, and the muscles will increase in mobility. The muscles
will have greater blood supply and drainage.
The muscles will obtain a better outflow of tissue fluids into the lymph
system, and consequently swollen muscles will normalize. These benefits will in
turn make weary muscles quickly regain excellent condition.
By this massage you stroke in the direction of the muscle fibers, and
always in the direction of the bloodstream towards the heart.
Also now you take one region after the other but attempt to reach the
complete length of a muscle or muscle group with each stroke.

superficially, and slow to warm up, and then progress by massaging deeper,
firmer, and slightly quicker.

your fingertips, with all your fingers, or grasp around a muscle or muscle
group with your fingers.
Massage using an electric device
Most electric massage gadgets are vibrating up and down. This vibration
mainly delivers the same impact as the massage over the muscle fibers.
If you additionally stroke with
the device head along the muscle in the direction of the bloodstream towards
the heart, you will simultaneously also obtain the effects of longitudinal
massage.
Massage combined with stretching
The results of the massage can be boosted by also extending the limbs
and body parts of the individual you work on. Stretch in the normal movement
directions of the limb or body components until you reach some resistance.
Do not extend hard to reach beyond the resistance point. However, just
keeping the limb some time at the resistance point can frequently cause the
limb to relax, and then you can move some way farther.
How hard should you perform the massage?
Tired and tight muscles are typically sore and hurting. Working in a soft spot will always create some transitory discomfort.
However, if you employ the proper degree of firmness, the result of the
massage should provide an immediate relief of pain and tenderness when you
have completed working at a place.
You should never work so hard that the pain is felt practically
intolerable, or so hard that discomfort stays after the massage is over. If you
do so, you might injure or worsen previously existing tissue damage.
To acquire the proper firmness you should observe the reactions of the
person you work with and listen to his opinions. You should also never massage an area with a definite irritation or a distinct injury.
Use of massage oils
By using massage oil or ointment to the region you work at, you ease
the massage job and boost the results of the massage. Your fingertips glide
more smoothly upon the skin covering the region.
The blood flow of the skin and muscles will be stimulated. You obtain a
seductive and thrilling aroma in the region and in the air. Ingredients in the
oil will relieve muscle soreness and pain.
According to the content of the
massage oil, there will be varied stimulating effects upon the muscles, for
example, faster regeneration of weary or wounded muscle tissue.
Massage for mutual pleasure
You can employ each of the two primary approaches, but you allow the
enjoyment of the person you massage to dictate the technique, the region you rub, and the firmness of the massage. Usually lightly stroking and caressing will be
the ideal method.
Also, your own pleasure shall determine. Do not work so hard that you
feel tired out yourself, and the person that you offer the massage should be
eager to reward you by performing the same courtesy to you.
