If it is too high, the pressure that you need to place on the back might be lesser that what is necessary. As you are standing or kneeling at the bed or floor side rub your hands to make it warm before doing anything. Then place your hands on the edge of the shoulder blades, over the heart and the other on the lower part of the back.

The back is loosen up by placing pressure down the spine’s sides starting from the lower back to the neck. While doing this use your thumb and press in circular motion as you trace the spine’s sides. Effleurage, minor strokes, can be applied to add variation to the rubdown as you level down the oil or lotion on the back. With one long constant stroke slide your palms entirely down both side of the pelvis; scrape from hips and reverse up the surface to the shoulder.

Begin at the spine and slither your palms in opposing courses going outwards to the edges of the back. Beginning at the back’s lowers portion then move up to the shoulders. Softly rub the plump muscular section at the peak of the shoulders, the back’s middle portion as well as the buttocks to loosen off stiff connective tissues or fascia and muscles. Place pressure on the tense region of the back, also known as knot, massaging it with the palms or fingers. Carry out clockwise resistance in circular motion with the tips of your fingers through the muscles which are confined to the spine plus the area of the shoulder blades. Move out the arms around it gently, individually, uniting the joints in the shoulder, which adds to better circulation of the blood.

It lets the tissues that have been tightened for a long time slacken, in turn gives way for the flow of blood to become continuous. This massage is best done with lubricating liquids to minimize friction during the rubdown session. It can be between the choice of a lotion or an oil essential with a relaxing aromatic smell.
