Tips: How to Give a Massage 

Massage Training Online

1) Have your friend lie down on a comfortable surface. A "massage table" used by professionals works best to avoid strain while working.
2) Use a good massage oil. Make sure it's fresh (not rancid!) Almond oil is a good choice or you can buy a massage oil blend at your local health food store.
Stay away from "baby oil"(mineral oil)
3)Provide a quiet, private space where your friend can relax and let go- soft music, candles can help alot!
4) Always start and end sections of the body with long soothing strokes
3) Work slowly and smoothly, trying to make transitions as smooth as possible.
4) Occasionally ask for feed back, are you working too deep of too light? Then try and keep talk to a minimum so your friend can let go into the relaxation.
5) To learn techniques, you can take a class or buy a Massage Training Video online.
Things to avoid:
Do not give a massage if you or your friend are sick. If in doubt as to whether your friend should be receiving a massage,have them consult their doctor.
Do not massage over a wound.
Do not massage over varicose veins.
Do:
Feel with your hands, not your eyes
Practice staying "grounded" in your body, not your head, feeling your way. Practice coming "from your heart". This simple technique can make a big difference in how the massage feels, to both the receiver and the giver!
