By Thierry Moore


If you want to give massages, wouldn't you want some solid advice? It is always nice to surprise your partner with a high-quality massage right in your own home. Keep reading to get some more advice about being a great masseuse.

Don't eat right before your massage appointment. It'll leave you bloated and uncomfortable when lying down. Let food fully digest first. Then you'll be able to truly relax.

It is important that the area in which you are giving a massage is not noisy. It will be quite difficult to relax in an area that is full of traffic noise and quarreling neighbors. A massage should be as relaxing as possible. Find a quiet location or schedule a massage at a time where there will be less noise. You'll be glad you did.

Look at the person receiving the massage to determine if you are hitting all the areas that they need addressed. You need to see how they become tense and what their facial reactions are. With practice, your hands will have the ability to read the signals their body is giving you. When the body feels tense, you may be applying too much pressure.

You want to be at your massage appointment a little early. It is not difficult to lose track of the time. You might be late for a massage and if this happens you won't be able to relax. You want to be relaxed and comfortable when you arrive at the massage parlor.

Massage yourself when your muscles feel stiff. Begin by softly thumbing the outer areas of the body. Begin with arms and legs, and work from the bottoms to the tops. Do this in the morning to start your day right. You can also use this technique before you go to bed to relax and get ready for sleep.

If you want to be a good massage therapist, you need to understand it takes some time to really become good. Begin by massaging friends and relatives to get honest and kind feedback on your massage techniques and abilities. As you become more comfortable, you can branch out and practice on other people.

If you're getting massaged and you don't get a foot bath at the spa, do one yourself. You need to make sure that your feet germs are unable to be transmitted to the rest of your body. You can wash your feet in the sink before laying down on the massage table.

You should now impress your partner with your newly found massage techniques. You can arrange one on a special evening after working long hours, or just on a pleasant weekend afternoon. Use what you've learned to benefit from reading this article.
