Relaxing massage: types, effect, massage technique


How does a relaxing massage affect a person?

A general relaxation massage of the whole body helps to relax muscles, eliminate heaviness and fatigue in the legs, remove nervous tension, achieve positive emotions and restore vital energy flows.

This is not only a way to relieve stress after a working day , but also an opportunity to bring your state of mind into harmony with your thoughts and become more resistant to stressful situations. It is the restoration of a positive psychological background that allows you not to fall into nervous disorders, which in turn leads to heart problems.

Relaxing massage has a positive effect :

  • on brain function;
  • peripheral system;
  • improves muscle condition;
  • prevents nervous disorders and related diseases (insomnia, migraines, depression, etc.);
  • activates the circulatory system;
  • improves the functioning of the drainage system of our body by activating lymph, thus enhancing metabolic processes.

The human body is a complex interconnected mechanism, which is why the positive sensations of a relaxation massage have a beneficial effect on the overall health of the entire body.

Positive emotional effects also play a big role. You yourself may have noticed that we often lack pleasant tactile sensations, the usual human warmth of hands. A relaxing massage solves this problem, allowing you to enjoy simple touches and restore a positive background from past nervous shocks.

What is erotic massage?

Classic massage includes various rubbing, pressing, kneading various parts of the body with hands. As for erotic massage, it includes light stroking and kissing.

The technique of intimate massage is known to us from the East. For example, in China, in this way the duration of sexual intercourse was controlled by stimulating certain zones and points. And in India, such touches were carried out along with the application of aromatic essential oils, which additionally aroused both partners.

Indications for massage

Relaxing massage is universal; it can be used by people of all ages, regardless of age and gender. It will be useful to people with problems such as:

  • chronic fatigue;
  • physical tension and high muscle tone;
  • viral colds (acute respiratory infections, acute respiratory viral infections, influenza and others);
  • aging and sagging skin;
  • diseases of the digestive system;
  • diabetes;
  • stress, nervousness and other nervous system disorders

But even such a common and harmless type of massage has its contraindications, under which it should not be performed:

Massage procedure for various types of mastopathy formations

Breast massage is allowed for fibrocystic type of mastopathy. It is the relaxing movements that help release fluid from the bloodstream. If the nature of the seals is fibrous, then the procedure is not prescribed with minor exceptions.

Stress is often a factor in the development of mastopathy, and massage allows you to overcome stress and relax. Thanks to massaging, the body’s nervous system is restored, which entails normalization of hormonal levels, normalization of lymph and blood flow, and tightening of the breast skin.

The sooner the procedure is started if mastopathy is diagnosed, the higher the likelihood of recovery.

Contraindications

  • Oncological diseases. Warming up the skin and increased blood flow can provoke swelling and lead to the progression of the disease.
  • Thrombosis and blood diseases. Increased blood activation increases pressure on the blood vessels, which can lead to blood clots breaking off and clogging blood vessels. The level of coagulation increases, which can also negatively affect the functioning of blood flow through the vessels.
  • Acute stage of infectious diseases and high fever.
  • First trimester of pregnancy. Activation of blood pressure can lead to miscarriage.
  • Inflammation and open wounds on the skin. Working with your hands on inflamed skin can lead to irritation, as well as introduce infection into open areas and spread it throughout the body.
  • Recent surgery. The body needs strength to restore and heal wounds, so you shouldn’t put extra strain on the body.
  • Chronic or acute stage of osteomyelitis.
  • Manifestation of allergic reactions to cream or oils that are used during the massage procedure.

If there are no contraindications, a relaxing massage can be performed daily. It is better to do this in courses of 10-14 days. After the first sessions you will feel a positive effect: stress resistance and mood will increase, fatigue will go away.

What not to do in erotic massage?

An exciting massage for a woman involves light stroking, which turns into more intense rubbing of the beloved’s body. But all actions must be carried out slowly, carefully, so as not to overload the lymphatic system. And in general, few people like haste, especially girls.

What to avoid:

  • sudden and strong movements;
  • haste;
  • abrupt transitions from one area to another - everything should have a smooth plan of action;
  • It is better not to use various warming ointments and creams;
  • avoid unnecessary conversations - they only distract and do not allow you to concentrate on your feelings;
  • Do not do strong tapping or pinching.

If you just want to excite a girl without leading to intimate caresses, then you should not touch the genital area. In this case, the massage will no longer be exciting, but intimate. It is better if your companion is not only lying on her stomach, but also lying on her back.

In the process of massaging movements, the woman should warm up the emerging desire, this should bring a slight note of excitement. Gradually the level of excitement will increase more and more.

Which areas are best not to touch?

There are areas on a woman's body that are best left untouched. These include:

  • the front of the neck - a woman may experience a feeling or even the so-called effect of suffocation, which almost no one likes;
  • the area under the knees and armpits is ticklish, so such movements will only disrupt the mood;
  • area of ​​the heels and temples - painful sensations may occur;
  • kidney area - causes discomfort;
  • solar plexus area - possible difficulty breathing.

Stimulating these parts of the body can ruin the overall results and mood.

Types of relaxation massage

Relaxation massage can be performed in specialized salons and medical centers, as well as at home. At the same time, masters can use different types, methods and techniques. The most famous and popular include:

Hellenic technology originated in ancient Greece, where flavored oils were actively used. A distinctive feature of this type of relaxing massage is the use of various cosmetics and flavored products (sprays, oils, ethers), with its own specialized products used for each part of the body. For example, coconut oil with the addition of thyme and rosemary , and essential oils from cedar or fir are used for the chest.

The Greek method is characterized by long-term work on each part of the body for approximately 7-12 minutes. This is enough for the muscles to return to normal, and for the applied cosmetics to be absorbed into the skin and give a positive result.

Thanks to this approach, the Hellenic method is considered the best if you want to improve the condition of your skin and relieve psychological stress. This procedure can be safely carried out daily without fear of harming yourself.

Tibetan

The main principle of this technique is viewing and controlling the body as a whole, with an emphasis on acupuncture points. That is why this technique is also called “spot”. To conduct a Tibetan massage, strict adherence to the rules of the procedure is required:

  • The work starts from the top of the head and ends with the soles of the feet.
  • A specialized product is used for each part of the body.
  • The entire session should not last more than 2 hours .

What are the benefits of breast massage?

This procedure stimulates the intensity of blood flow, which increases the tone of the skin of the mammary glands and décolleté. As a result, the bust becomes more toned and youthful. The procedure prevents sagging after weight loss and the formation of stretch marks, eliminates stagnation of lymph and fluid in the ducts, and activates tissue metabolism. Together, this promotes the removal of metabolic products and the supply of necessary nutrients. Breast massage stimulates regeneration processes and local immunity, and prevents the appearance of tumors.

The procedure is recommended during premenopause and the postpartum period. During menstruation, a delicate breast massage reduces increased soreness of the mammary glands, and, in alternation with visceral massage, reduces the severity of pain. During breastfeeding, this manual technique reduces local sensitivity, stimulates the production of mother's milk, prevents stagnation, and promotes pumping. Massaging the nipples makes them easier for the baby to latch on to and facilitate lactation.

The procedure is necessary after mammoplasty - it reduces swelling, reduces the risk of scarring and complications. When carried out regularly, it is possible to promptly palpate existing lumps, which is invaluable for early diagnosis and successful treatment of breast cancer.

Therapeutic breast massage is also performed for a number of indications:

  • mastitis;
  • mastopathy;
  • breast cyst;
  • abnormal secretion from the nipple.

Basic techniques and movements of a relaxing massage

The relaxation technique was specially developed to achieve the main goal - to get rid of nervous and physical tension. For this purpose, various methods of influence have been created using basic movements:

  • Kneading . The impact is carried out with two hands and fingertips with light pressure.
  • Stroking . It is carried out with the palm or edge. Used at the beginning and end of the procedure.
  • Patting . The impact is focused on a specific area of ​​the body, and is carried out through small strikes with the palms.
  • Rubbing . Move your palms over the skin in a zigzag direction.
  • Pinching . The action is carried out on a separate area of ​​​​the skin with a slight pull and slamming.
  • Vibrations . Quick circular movements over the skin with your palms.

Depending on the technique and type of relaxing massage, the set of movements is selected individually .

Self-massage

One of the additional options for improving the skin in this area, its elasticity and contours can be water exposure. It is convenient to carry out as an independent strengthening procedure while taking a shower. To do this, use a defocused stream of water.

Make clockwise circular movements in the abdominal area 3-5 times, then rise up and, using circular or straight-line movements, massage the stream of water under the chest area, stimulating the intercostal muscles, which are responsible for raising it. Then proceed to circular massage of the mammary glands in a clockwise direction.

Do not increase the pressure with a stream of water on this area of ​​the body, as this will only contribute to the formation of new growths and lumps in this sensitive area. Make 5-7 circular movements for each mammary gland, complete the self-massage of the chest with a stream of water using radial movements from the midline at the level of 3-4 ribs (about 12 cm from the hollow of the neck) to the shoulders with straight and zigzag movements with a defocused stream of water.

Repeat movements for each side 3-5 times. This stimulation is most effective when alternating cool and warm water - this additionally increases turgor, improves blood supply to tissues, stimulates metabolic processes and the production of collagen and elastin. At the end of the procedure, perform a gentle but vigorous rubbing with a towel and apply a firming serum or cream to these areas of the body.

Also, daily strengthening care can be supplemented with cryomassage. To do this, prepare ice cubes. This can be either plain water or special frozen herbal infusions. Perform light circular and longitudinal movements in this part according to a pattern similar to a water massage. After this, rub yourself with a towel and apply firming cream.

Also, massage techniques that you can use yourself include the Japanese method. According to the creator of this technique, the size of her own bust without surgical intervention thus increased from size A to F.

The technique is based on the “redistribution” of fat deposits from the arms, back and abdomen to the mammary glands. At the initial stage, “tuning in” to the massage occurs - you visualize the result you expect: an increase in volume, improvement in its shape, restoration of elasticity. Then the self-massage begins: fold your hands into an eastern greeting or prayer gesture, place them in this position in the middle and press on the base of the palm. Count to 8 and move your hands a little to the right and do the same count, then do the same on the left side.

Then raise your arms slightly above your body, clasp the other with one hand, and perform vigorous stroking strokes from the elbow area to the axillary fold and shoulder joint. Do the exercise for 5 minutes for each hand. Then take a lying position.

Perform light kneading of the abdominal area and begin vigorous rolling from the upper abdomen to the chest. The duration of this self-massage is 5 minutes. Can be supplemented with acupressure of the inner thigh. Using your thumbs, perform rhythmic pressure and circular massage of paired points on the inner thigh 1 palm above the knee area. This stimulates the production of estrogen, which will have a positive effect on breast growth.

And a regular activity for optimal results from Japanese massage is sleeping on your back and regularly visualizing your ideal bust.

Relaxation massage technique

Particular emphasis is placed on the calf muscles, where the Achilles tendon passes. An additional area of ​​study is also the feet. Work in this area starts from the heels. First, stroking movements are carried out from the heel along the central part of the foot to the big toe. Then they circle along the back of the foot and return to the heel. Next, each finger is worked on separately. Since there is a large concentration of acupuncture points in this area, there is a targeted effect on certain areas.

Hands

The arm area is massaged in the same way as the legs. The procedure begins from the shoulders and moves down to the elbows. All movements begin with stroking, followed by patting and pinching. Special attention is paid to the hands, with careful work on each finger separately. First, there are light stroking and massaging of the back of the hands, then move on to the palms and fingers.

Results of the procedure

This is one of the few techniques that has a pronounced effect. After just 2-3 visits to the massage therapist, you can notice improvements in the shape and general condition of the mammary glands. However, the aesthetic effect is only part of what modeling breast massage can provide. Manual manipulation of the mammary glands has a number of positive effects:

  • improvement of lymph flow and blood flow;
  • increased overall muscle tone;
  • restoration of the skin;
  • elimination of dead skin cells;
  • reduction of pain during menstruation; increasing skin and muscle elasticity;
  • correction of shape, elimination of asymmetry of the mammary glands;
  • increase in pectoral muscles in volume;
  • reduction of volume in breasts that are too large;
  • elimination of hypersensitivity;
  • stimulation of regeneration after plastic surgery.

We can say that such a massage helps to rejuvenate the pectoral muscles not only externally, but also internally. The result will be healthy skin in the décolleté area, improved well-being and beautiful, toned breasts.

Breast augmentation without surgery

This is possible without surgery or chemicals.
Here, women will be helped not only by a massage for breast enlargement, but also by a special massager, which can be purchased at any beauty center. The reviews and results from a regular massage are truly incredible. The testers felt stimulation and enlargement of the chest muscles, feeling confident in themselves and in their bodies. In addition, you can achieve the desired result in a slightly different way. Scientists conducted research and it turned out that with regular sexual activity, breasts increase by an average of 30%. And this happens due to changes in hormonal levels. So you should not immediately resort to plastic surgery.

Preparatory process

The important point is preparation. This includes expressing milk. You should massage your breasts after milk has been removed from them. Immediately before the procedure, a woman should take a shower, but washing her hands is sufficient.

To achieve maximum effect, use auxiliary products. You can use olive and castor oil. They are hypoallergenic, but care must be taken not to get any oil on the nipples. Thus, there is no need to massage the nipples.

Who is suitable for breast lift with mesothreads?

The non-surgical lifting method is not suitable for all women. The procedure will be effective in eliminating the first degree of mastoptosis, when a small fold appears under the mammary gland. The shape of severely sagging mammary glands can only be restored through surgical excision of excess skin.

Indications for the procedure

  • Prevention of sagging bust due to natural skin aging.
  • Weakly expressed ptosis of breasts of the first and second sizes.
  • The need for slight correction of the shape to give the bust a more aesthetic appearance.

You can undergo the procedure to improve the shape of your breasts with mesothreads as early as 25 years of age. It is better to prevent sagging mammary glands in advance than to later eliminate the consequences of ptosis with plastic surgery.
