Neck Massage Therapy Guide

If you have a wife or woman in your life that has neck or back tightness, you may want to take a look at this neck massage therapy guide. This guide will take you step by step into learning the basic neck massage therapy step to provide her with some stress relief and muscle relaxing. Neck massage is the most basic and easier way to relieve the stress and tension from the body.

1. The first step is to begin to make her comfortable so that she can relax as much as possible before you begin. Have her put on a nice, comfy non-constricting robe. Make sure she is in a comfortable chair, put her feet up and even make her her favorite drink.
2. Gently begin by rubbing the thumbs on the neck in a circular motion close to the hair line. Work your way slowly down the neck and then back up again, adding just a touch more pressure with each pass. Slowly work your way into the shoulder area. Again, apply slightly more pressure the longer you massage the area. This circular motion helps loosen up tight muscles and relax.
3. Placing your finger tips on her shoulders, begin in the shoulder blade area and push your thumbs up towards her neck in sweeping motion. Repeat adding more pressure each time. Add as much pressure as she likes.
4. Mix it up with some helpers for your neck massage therapy. Warm some essential oils to use on your neck massage. She will appreciate the silky feeling and the gentle smell the oil gives off. It can make your hands flow more freely against her skin.
