Step-by-Step Body Massage Guide

1. Create an Atmosphere

Create a warm and calm room.

Ask the person about their preferred pressure (light, medium, firm).

Make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

2. Start with the back (10 to 15 minutes)

The person lies on their stomach.

Warm the oil in your hands before applying.

Gently stroke from the lower back to the shoulders.

Knead: Gently lift and roll the muscles with your palms.

Make small circles along the spine with your thumbs (never press directly on them).

3. Shoulders and Neck (5 to 7 minutes)

Gently press and knead the trapezius muscles (where the shoulders and neck meet).

Use your fingertips to make circular motions at the base of the skull.

Avoid excessive pressure on the neck; maintain gentle pressure.

4. Arms and Hands (5 minutes each)

Massage from the shoulder toward the hand using long strokes.

Gently knead the biceps and forearms.

Stretch your fingers, massage the palms, and massage each finger individually.

5. Legs and Feet (10 to 15 minutes)

Start with long strokes from the ankle to the thigh.

Knead the calves and thighs with your palms and thumbs.

Focus on the feet: Press the arch of the foot with your thumbs and gently rotate each toe.

6. Front of the body (optional)

If appropriate and the person feels comfortable, massage the chest, arms, and legs from the front using the same techniques.

Continue to cover yourself with towels for added privacy and warmth.

7. Finish gently

Finish with gentle circular motions all over the body.

Let the person rest for a few minutes after the massage.

Tips for a successful massage

Communication: Always check if the pressure is comfortable.

Move slowly: Calm, steady movements are more relaxing.

Use all your hands: Palms, thumbs, and forearms can reduce fatigue.

Stay relaxed: If you are calm, your massage will be more enjoyable.

Avoid injuries: Do not massage open wounds, swollen areas, or injuries.
