What is body massage and how does it differ from classical massage

Body massage can not be considered a simple procedure for kneading muscles and giving tone to the whole body. His appointment is much deeper and is aimed not only at certain parts of the body, but also to achieve a relaxed spiritual state. To better understand the technique of body massage and learn how to do it yourself, first of all you need to get acquainted with its origin.

A bit of history

This technique was first used in ancient India and China. But then these services were available only to men. Fortunately, women can enjoy such a massage nowadays.

In fact, body massage was a kind of preparation for bringing a man to the right state before sexual intercourse, because both Chinese and ancient Indians are known for appreciating the erotic "spending free time."

• The man relaxed in a society of seductive masseuse dancers, and after the session was often in their arms
• A mandatory condition is the use of various aroma oils, not only for the massage itself, but also for fumigation of the room
• For example, jasmine promotes relaxation. Sandalwood stimulates sexual ability, and cedar also repels mosquitoes and flies

Engineering and milestones

It would seem that there can be a complex massage in body massage? As can be seen from the title, not only the hands but also other parts of the body are involved in the process. Although, as it turned out, this is not quite true.

1. Preparatory stage (gong-fu). Its main goal is to prepare the patient for the procedure and give him complete relaxation. Often, an oil massage is performed, and the specialist rubs selected oils into the skin with soft hand movements that roll like waves. The main thing is that the movements are soft and rhythmic.
2. The next stage is called "Tao". This is a kind of continuation of the first part, but the movements of the hands become slower, and the pressure on the body increases.
3. Rubbing (anh-mo). Body rubbing is becoming more intense, but special attention is paid to various erogenous zones.
4. Massage of the abdomen (mo-fu). At this stage, the focus is on the navel. Hands around the area is rubbed or strokes for and counter-clockwise.
5. The final stage. It is he who is considered the culmination moment of the body massage. Stroking begins with different parts of the body: the buttocks, stomach, chest or hair.

Recommendations

If you want to master this technique yourself, you can not do without a special video and a few tips.

• Body massage should be done as gently and gently as possible so that the patient does not become ensnared. The force of pressure is gradually increased, but in the end, we must repeat again the soft and light movements
• The first thing is massaging large parts of the body, with a gradual transition to smaller and erogenous zones
• Hand movements should be directed to the nearest lymph nodes
• The head is massaged from the crown to the clavicles
• We knead the neck from the sacrum upwards
• Torso kneading from chest to armpits
• Straight muscles of the abdomen are massaged from the top down, and oblique - on the contrary
• Legs begin to massage from the feet, gradually moving to the knees, and then to the groin area.

Be sure to take into account that an extremely important role is played by the duration and intensity of the massage. Any movement that is not rhythmic enough and gentle can not only nullify the desired result, but even bring the patient painful sensations. Rough hand movements can lead not only to bruises, but in some cases can even cause muscle tremors, and this is completely unacceptable for body massage, which is considered relaxing.
