Sweet Valentine’s Day massage
Start with a warm bath…maybe accompanied by a glass of sparkling wine or a relaxing infusion. When the body heats up, the massage is particularly effective. Warm up the massage oil in a pot immersed in hot water for a few minutes.
If you suffer from severe back pain or any muscular tensions, we suggest to consult your doctor or physiotherapist before receiving the massage.
Otherwise, it is time to enjoy some gentle pampering!
Follow our instructions:
♥ Pour plenty of massage oil on the palm of your hand and spread it all over the back of your partner.
♥ Start from the tailbone and go up to the shoulders.
♥ Start with a light pressure and then carefully increase it, making sure to avoid any discomfort or pain.
♥ Always massage the back from the bottom upwards. It is important to gently treat the cervical area avoiding potential headaches.
Once you have performed the massage from the tailbone up to the neck, slide your hands back along the spine and go up again, this time applying pressure with both thumbs. Continue the same way up to the shoulders area and slide back with open palms along the sides of the body. Repeat this movement, applying circular pressure with the thumbs along the spine.
Now come to the shoulders, this is where all tensions settle – just spend some more time here. Don’t hesitate to ask where the massage feels particularly good and reduce the pressure of your hands where needed. With gentle movements, loosen the entire area up to the neck. Release the tension in the neck every now and then by sliding your hands down the back again. Loosen the shoulders by shaping an 8 with fluid, criss-crossing movements. Work this part of the body in depth, using your fingertips.
Finally, gently massage the back a few more times – you can now increase the pressure of your hands if it feels good. Finish the massage with movements from the top down to the glutes, or from the bottom up, wrapping the shoulders and then sliding down along the arms and hands.
