Reflexology massage 3

Now work on the arms hands and fingers, massaging gently, with light pressure. Work one arm at a time for better results. Hold your partner’s wrist and lift the entire arm off the mat. Now use your hand to massage the back of the forearm, triples and over the shoulders and moving onto the opposite side. Take each finger at a time, pull them softly and slide then from knuckles to nails.

Use kneading motions when massaging the thighs and legs, working up to the feet and toes. Wrap both hands around the foot and apply pressure to the sole using your thumb. Put emphasis on the arch of the foot because a lot of tension accumulates in this area. Message the ball and heel of the foot. Grab each toe and give gentle pull. Provide long relaxing strokes to the legs from the calf to the upper thigh. Apply kneading pressure on the calf and then move on to the thigh.

Turn him/her over and start massaging the chest and stomach area with soft motions of the finger. Massage the face, temple, forehead and cheeks gently by using your fingers, see to it that the oil does not get into the eyes. Gently massage the top of the scalp by applying soft pressure with your thumbs. Use the fingertips to massage the temples in slow circular motion. Use your thumbs and forefinger to massage the folds and ear lobes.

Never rush through the massage. Work slowly and gently on each body part by giving long, slow and smooth strokes so that it turns into a relaxing and luxurious experience.

Finish off by wiping off the excess oil with a clean towel. A relaxing olive oil body massage is best finished off with a rejuvenating hot bath.
