MASSAGE

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to perform a full body massage:

1. Preparation: Ensure the massage area is clean, quiet, and warm. Set up a massage table or mat, and make sure the client is comfortable, wearing loose clothing.
2. Warm-up: Start with light stroking to warm up the muscles and increase blood flow. This will also help the client relax and feel more comfortable.
3. Back massage: Start with the back, focusing on the muscles between the spine and the shoulder blades. Use long, smooth strokes, kneading, and friction to release tension.
4. Legs and Feet: Move down to the legs, massaging each leg individually. Pay attention to areas like the calf and thigh muscles, which tend to be tense. End with a relaxing foot massage.
5. Arms and Hands: Move up to the arms, starting from the shoulder and working your way down to the fingers. Use circular movements to massage the joints and release tension.
6. Stomach and Chest: Massage the stomach area using circular motions. This helps improve digestion and promotes relaxation. Move to the chest, focusing on the chest muscles and collarbones.
7. Head and Neck: Finish with the head and neck. Massage the scalp using circular motions, and then move down to the neck and jaw.
8. Finish: End the massage by covering the client with a blanket and allowing them to rest for a few minutes.
