Consider scented candles or other aromatherapy during massage. The right choices can be incredibly calming. The massage combined with the aroma therapy can make for a super relaxing time.

 

You can make massages even better by using some massaging oils. There are plenty of different essential oils to choose from. Choose an oil with an enjoyable smell and you will find that massages are even more relaxing thanks to the smell of the essential oils and the properties of the oil you chose.

 

A foot massage can be used for more than tired, achy feet. You can search online and find foot maps that show which area of the foot can be massaged to experience relief from a myriad of symptoms throughout your body. For example, pressing on the big toe is known to relieve sinus pain and pressure.

 

If you are suffering from back pain and traditional back massages are not alleviating the pain, try a hand massage. Firmly press into the meaty area between your thumb and index finger and gently massage. This type of massage is especially effective for muscle spasms and pulled back muscles.

 

Understand that the pressure amount that is used during a massage should vary based on the individual. If someone's muscles are knotted, use slow-moving pressure to ease the tension. Even keeping consistent pressure on the knots will release the tension. This is a common technique that is used during a deep tissue type of massage.

 

Help the massage therapist by relaxing your body. Avoid trying to "help" by tensing certain muscles or areas. The massage therapist is well-educated in various ways to maneuver your body parts to achieve the best results from massage, but their work is hindered if you can't relax. Try doing some deep breathing and practice just letting go and trusting the therapist to do a great job.

 

Let your massage therapist know if anything begins to hurt too much. Some massage techniques can cause some discomfort, so you need to be aware of that. Ask the therapist to ease up in certain areas if you find that you are beginning to tense up because something is too painful.

 

Be vocal with your massage therapist.Talking may be the last thing you really want to do during a massage, but it can be the difference between an ok experience and a great one. You need to let the therapist know what areas need work and what techniques work best.

 

Instead of sending yourself or your partner off to a massage clinic, now you know how to give the best massage yourself. Of course you can't do your own, but you can show your partner that he or she can just as easily learn how to give one as well. Get started and show them!
