How To Give A Great Massage

massage2

Learn the strokes. The most common massage type is a Swedish massage, which uses four different types of strokes to relax and heal the muscles. A full-body massage employs all four techniques:

  • Effleurage is a smooth stroke that relaxes soft muscle tissue. Your hands should glide easily over the surface of the body.
  • Petrissage involves squeezing and rolling the muscle between your hands, which is useful for loosening muscle tension.
  • Friction is the use of deep movements administered with steady pressure in order to cause tissues to rub against one another and stimulate circulation.
  • Tapotement is a staccato tap done with the sides or heels of the hands.

Focus on the muscles, not the bones. When you’re giving a massage, the key is to use your hands to work the muscles in the neck, shoulders, back, arms, legs and feet. Use a gentle touch to locate the soft, fleshy muscles, then knead them with your hands. Never exert pressure on a person’s bones, especially the spine and tailbone. If you’re in doubt about whether a spot is composed of muscle or bone, use a gentle, light touch to stroke it, then move on to another section.

Apply pressure, but not too much. Knead the muscles with your fingers, palms and the heels of your hands. Exert a steady, firm pressure to stimulate circulation and loosen the muscles. Don’t use the weight of your body to push down on a person’s muscles, though; you could end up causing pain or even an injury if you press too hard.

  • When you apply the right amount of pressure, you should be able to feel the muscle move and relax under the skin. The person you’re massaging might utter sounds of relaxation, but he or she should not cry out in pain. If the person complains, ease up.
  • Sometimes it’s difficult to apply even pressure using your hands, especially if you get tired after awhile. Try using a tennis ball instead of your hands. Place the ball against the muscle you’re massaging and use your hand to gently roll it against the body.

Massage slowly. The person you’re massaging should not get the impression that you are in a hurry. Working too quickly makes the massage session less relaxing, and also less effective; you can’t thoroughly massage the muscles if you make quick motions over the surface of the body instead of taking the time to penetrate deeper.

  • Use steady, even strokes as you massage, rather than quick, jerky motions.
  • Divide the total massage time among the body parts you are massaging. For example, if you planned for the massage to take an hour, spend ten minutes on the neck, twenty on the back and shoulders, ten on the arms, ten on the legs, and ten on the feet.

Communicate with the person you’re massaging. Ask him or which muscles feel tense or tight. Tell him or her to let you know if the massage feels painful or uncomfortable in any way, and be sure to respect his or her wishes during this intimate process.

Baby Massages. Beneficial Or Not?

baby

You know what happens: The minute you put your baby down, she cries. Pick her up and, presto — she’s serene and smiley again. If just holding your baby can be so soothing, imagine how she’ll benefit from a full-body massage. In fact, studies have shown that massaging an infant can reduce crying and fussiness, help her sleep more peacefully, and alleviate common wail-inducers like constipation and colic Some say that it even boosts a baby’s ability to fight off germs.

“When you give your baby a massage, you’re actually stimulating her central nervous system,” explains Tiffany Field, PhD, director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine. “That sets off a chain reaction: It makes her brain produce more serotonin, a feel-good chemical, and less cortisol, a hormone that’s secreted in response to stress. As a result, your baby’s heart rate and breathing slow down, and she becomes more relaxed. ”

Giving your infant regular massages is good for his emotional well-being too. “Affectionate touch and rhythmic movement are among the most powerful forms of communication between babies and their parents, so they’re great ways for you to bond,” says K. Mark Sossin, PhD, director of the Parent-Infant Research Nursery at Pace University, in New York City. The payoff of baby massage trickles down to parents. “It’s easy to feel helpless with a newborn but giving him a gentle rubdown can help you feel more in control,” explains Elaine Fogel Schneider, PhD, author of Massaging Your Baby: The Joy of Touch Time. “It will help you learn how to read your baby’s signals and respond better to his unique needs.”

Giving your baby a massage is as simple as it is enjoyable. All you need is 10 to 15 minutes. Pick a time when you’re relaxed and your baby is quiet but alert. (If you try to massage a fussy baby, you may overstimulate him and make him even more unhappy.) Try starting after a diaper change or as part of a bathtime ritual.

Before you begin, make sure the room is warm and quiet. Take off any jewelry that could get in the way, and grab some baby oil. Strip your baby down to his diaper, and then lay him facing up on a soft towel or blanket, with a pillow under his head. Begin by holding your baby’s hands and gently rubbing his palms with your thumbs a few times. When he seems tuned in to you, try these soothing techniques described by Dr. Schneider, starting with your baby’s legs and working your way up his body.

Body Rubs and Massages

Just imagine the soft, soothing feel of healing hands gliding across your tensed up body from your long, stressful week at work. What a rush of relief runs over you as you just lay back and relax and treat yourself to a relaxing massage or body rub. I wondered, Why don’t we do this more often? Why stay stressed when we can get de-stressed so easily? I’m writing to you, because I know where to get the best body rubs and massages out there. I’ve traveled the world, and I know how difficult it can be to find someone who actually knows what they’re doing. It is much easier to say you know what you’re doing, when you really don’t. So, I figured this out for you guys.

Simply speaking, Body Rub USA is probably your best bet to get the best body rub specialist or massage therapist in your city and state, UK, or Canada. Plus when you sign up for the mutual massage exchange program which is only 14.95 per month, you’ll get guaranteed exchanges all month.  I personally believe everyone should get a massage or body rub once a week. Why? It creates a better aura for you, your outlook is a little brighter, and life is a little sweeter.

You may also want to try massage pot if you’re looking for the massage therapist that’s been to school, Almost 95% of the posters here are Liscensed Massage Therapists or CMT’s . i’ve found some great massueses through this site as well.

If you’re looking for providers with trusted body rub reviews, BodyRub.INFO is your source for that. If you scroll down under their listings, people leave reviews on the listings after they’ve been to see the providers.

Craigslist also works, I also check other sections like, community. Sometimes I’ve found the best body rubs in there.

It will re-shape new ideas for you and turn them into reality. facing difficulties in advertising is something we all go through, so don’t get discouraged. I’m about to share some great hints with you to boost your body rub business immensely. Forget about annoying sites that are just in it for your money. Get to the sites that are actually there to help you. The ones that WANT to see you succeed.

For starters, I’d like to talk a little about Body Rub USA. This is a site that specifically deals with body rub and massage advertising. It’s very affordable, and isn’t a rip off site. They actually respond to phone calls and emails. Not to mention, I have gotten a ton of business from this site. It’s a little cleaner than Backpage. And for that, I like it. The quality of the clientele is much higher than normal, and they aren’t lowballers trying to get you to give them a lower price than you tell them. They also have a great bodyrub affiliate program. If you’re new to the business, and have a new website, this is a great way to make some extra money. Personally, I think this is a great way to let your business work for you, while you’re doing a massage or body rub or not even working at all. It’s 100% automatic and I’ve included the link to where you can get  your payments and more.

Massage Pot is designed for massage therapists with training. However, you may also post body rubs, just make sure you state that in your ad and you’re good to go. This is  one of the cleanest sites that I’ve ever come across in the industry and I like it for the simple reason that your clients already know what to expect before coming over.

Get More Successful With Your BodyRub and Massage Ad Posting Immediately

Posting your body rub and massage ads shouldn’t be nearly as complicated as these sites make it seem. However, in my own experience over the last 12 years as an experienced body rub specialist, I’ve found that this is not always the case. I’ve spent countless hours trying to keep my ads up, even when I pay for them. And then i thought, Wow! Why is this so difficult?! I put in my credit card, authorize it to pay, and they still keep taking money off of it two months later when I don’t authorize it. Not only that, they also refuse to put my ad up in the section it belongs. I got tired of it. Fast. It was time to move on and find better sites.

It was time to find sites I could rely on. Sites that would be there and keep my listing up when I needed them to. So, I turned to google and began my research. I began looking for other sites that would possibly list body rubs and massages. One of the first sites I came across was Body Rub USA. I couldn’t believe my good luck. I was skeptical at first. Then I decided to post one ad for 5 days for $10. This isn’t a bad price, I thought. But I wonder if they will actually let me keep this ad up. I used PayPal to pay, since it’s a bit safer and more secure than just throwing your credit card onto a new site. I was estatic! They kept my ad up,plus gave me a couple extra days! I made my money back, over and over again. I will forever be a great fan of this site, and would definitely recommend it to you providers. If you have a website, I’d definitely recommend you give their massage affiliate program a try. It’s well worth the money you get back. Or you don’t even need a website, just get your affiliate link, and begin advertising it.

Massage Pot is another great way to post your massage ads. It’s very clean, and for that fact, I like it. Massage clients already know what to expect when they arrive. There are no gimmicks, catches or anything. Your ad cost on this site is $25 for the entire month. Whereas on BackPage you would be paying anywhere from $5 – $10 per day, so your cost is dramatically cut.

BodyRub.INFO is a cool new way to post body rubs. It is a Fiverr style site, based soley on body rubs and massages. It is 100% FREE to list your body rubs. However, once you sell your services on there, you will need to pay a 30% success fee for using the site. So, personally, I just price my body rub services accordingly and it works. Plus, the good thing is, that not only can your client leave a review on you, you may also leave a review on them. And this way, a safe environment is created. This way, future buyers know if you’re ok. and future providers know if the client is ok. I hope you have found this helpful! Happy posting.

Tired of all the rip off scam sites out there when you’re posting your bodyrub ads? Tired of your card getting abused when you authorize it once and they keep taking money off of it anyhow, over the next few months? Me too! that’s why I decided to share a few secrets with you about where to get your ads up without this happening.

At Body Rubs USA, when you post your body rub ad, your ad ALWAYS goes up, and never gets ghosted. If you pay, you pay and there is no question with them, that you’ll get the service that you paid for. I know this personally, because of my own experience with them. This is far from Backpage, where they will just take your money and never put it up.

They also have an affiliate program you can join and make money off of . If you refer your friend, and they buy an ad, you’ll get 30% of that sale, every single time. This doesn’t just apply to your friends either. You can put it on your own website and then for every hit you get to their website besides they will give you like 10 cents. Here is the statement listed on their affiliate program link:

Top 3 Places To Buy A BodyRub and Massage In America

Are you visiting the United States and you have no idea where to start looking for a body rub or massage? Finding high quality massages/bodyrubs in America can prove to be very difficult, but not entirely impossible, or I wouldn’t be writing to you about it.

There are two things you should keep in mind before getting a body rub or massage in America. #1. Prostitution or manipulation of the genitals is NOT legal. It never was and probably never will be. So my advice to you – Don’t get started. Yes, you may give your provider a massage, as long as there is no touching of the genitals. #2. Things are not always as they appear. A lot of girls on common sites like Backpage or Craigslist don’t use their real photos. They use stock photos from Google, and tell you it’s them, but when you get there, it’s a completely different girl.

Well, I’m here to tell you, it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are the two best possible sites you should know about:

At Body Rub USA, you can find providers in any city and state that you’re in. Thousands of people, and counting, have already signed up to this already popular site. Plus, if you go tot their ads, look underneath and you will see an option to sign up for a monthly bodyrub Mutual Exchange Membership Program. I would recommend this option, especially since you get better, higher quality  treatment with the trusted member option. Plus, it’s not as expensive as you think, it’s actually quite affordable. You can get an entire month for a small fee of $14.95. Once you’ve signed up  for that, there are no upsells or hidden fees within that membership, that’s for the ENTIRE month.

You can also get some great massages by going to BodyRub.INFO. On here, you need to order your services first and then your provider contacts you immediately. I’ve never had an issue where a body rub provider doesn’t contact me, they’ve always been very prompt and on time. and you don’t have to worry about them getting paid before the service, they only get paid when you and them both mark the order as complete and then you can leave a review right on their listing. Which makes them all trusted reviews. There are no free reviews here, this isn’t like yelp where people can just type any old thing without going to the person or place. You must have been able to pay, and already have seen them to be able to leave a review.

The Absolute Most Effective Places To Post Your Body Rubs In Atlanta, GA

Do you find yourself wondering where to post your body rub ads, when they get knocked down or not even posted, even when you pay to have them posted? Do you get tired of getting buried underneath all your competitors within two hours of posting? If I told you, you wouldn’t have to worry about either of those things anymore, for a low price, would you do it? You see, I know just how you can make  money all for the low price of $8, for an ENTIRE month. There’s no catch or hidden agenda. I just happened to run across this gold mine, and decided to share it with you.
On Body Rub USA, when you post in Atlanta, you have an option of a regular ad subscription, monthly for $8. However, the one I really recommend, is the monthly body rub subscription for $14.95. This option gives you the choice of a top ad as well, for an entire month. The reason I said this is the preferable method, is because when you get the top ad, nobody can take that position from you on this site. Plus, it’s the first place people look when getting a body rub for all the number one providers. It is, I think, worth every single penny.

The other site I’m gonna tell you about is BodyRub.INFO. There are no upfront fees, but once you sell your massage service through their site, you have to pay a 30% success fee. So I just personally price my services accordingly and it works out just fine. This is one way you can accept credit cards  and PayPal, if you aren’t already or don’t know how to get started. It sounds complicated, but it really isn’t. I know they treat you right also, because I personally tried it out.

Hopefully this helps you out.

Best Places To Get A Body Rub or Massage In Anaheim, CA

Do you find the dating world mundane, all the same, and just over-all – boring? Maybe you’re looking for just the perfect girl and you don’t know where to find her. Or maybe, you’re just looking for a relaxing evening with a nice girl, and then the idea of a body rub or massage pops into your head and you think to yourself, that’s a great idea. So you pick up the phone, and you’re scrolling through hundreds of girls on Backpage, and ten minutes later you get frustrated because they won’t pick up their phone and when you leave a voicemail, they don’t call you back. Sound familiar? I know exactly how that is. The other thing I always run into a lot are girls that use pics on their ads, aren’t the same girl in the pic when you get there. So, I also know how frustrating this can be.

Maybe you don’t want to spend a lot of money, you just want to spend a little and relax. I know exactly where you can get the best providers for the best rates in town. No upsells and no catches are a must. So, I’m gonna let you guys in on a little secret. The best body rubs and massages, are not found on Backpage. They’re found…..

…..on Body Rub USA! Yep. You read that right. It’s awesome, because on this site, they have a body rub club membership option for you. For a Mutual Touch Exchange VIP membership. This way, you’ll have access to providers, regular members don’t have access to and you’ll be treated royally. There is nothing illegal about giving your provider a massage and she gives you one, as long as no genitals are touched. So, I’ve included a link for you, where you can make sure you get on that special list. It’s only as low as $8.95 per week, with options to upgrade.

My next place I’m going to tell you about is BodyRub.INFO. I think you will appreciate the simplicity and ease of use on this site. If you want to know if someone has been to the provider before, look at their rating. And then look underneath their listing to read their reviews. The great thing about this section is that they’re not just free reviews. Everyone has to pay first, go to service and then they may leave a review. This isn’t just a yelp site, where people leave free massage reviews just for spite. This keeps all the drama creators off. I hope this has been helpful.
