Massage Therapy: A Step By Step Guide


Chest Massage:

As you work around the body, change your position so that you are comfortable.Involve your whole body-whether standing or sitting, use the floor as a lever to help you and let your body move in the same rhythm as the strokes you are creating.

Massage Steps:
1.Using the fingertips, work in between the upper ribs, stroking from the center of the chest outward.Repeat three or four times, moving down to the next rib with each repeat.
2.Using small overlapping circles, massage down over the breastbone and sweep down over the ribcage and back up the sides of the body.
3.Starting at the bottom of the ribcage, use a pulling motion up each side of the body.Repeat on the other side.
4.To finish, place both hands on upper chest, pointing outward and toward the shoulders, and pressing a little, glide hands firmly out and off the shoulders.
