Whichever type of massage you choose, do itit is necessary correctly, observing the basics of massage procedures. It is also very important to choose the right cream or oil: the consistency of these substances should not be too greasy, tk. with greasy lubrication, the hands will only glide over the surface of the skin, and it will be difficult to massage the muscles and activate the blood flow in the legs. A significant amount of oil can be used only with some types of relaxing foot massage.

2

Remember that when a massage "on dry" is performedthe top layer of the epidermis, microtraumas appear due to rubbing of the skin, which can later become infected and then an inflammatory rash will appear. Be sure to consider how long the shaved hair has been shaved - in places of growth after recent shaving there are already small wounds that are easily irritated, so apply moistening oils with light massaging movements.

3

Massage of the legs is done by the current of the lymph, i.e. for the main massaging movements choose the direction from the feet to the groin. Observance of the right direction will help you quickly get rid of edema by activating the blood flow and, consequently, improving metabolic processes in the tissues. Opposite movements can be used only with easy massage and stroking. Transverse deep movements will help to strengthen the muscles of the legs, and superficial lungs "dashed" lead to relaxation of the muscles.

When massage is used 4 types of action -stroking, grinding, kneading and movements, leading to tissue vibration. Stroking allows a person to relax and prepare for a massage. When you are doing a foot massage, in the direction of the lymph flow, stroke with more confident movements, lightly pressing the palm, and in the opposite - only slightly.

In the next stage of the massage, warm up the skin andmuscle by rubbing. Try to use a little moisturizer, then the process of activation of blood flow in the lower limbs will soon become noticeable. Its sign is a slight reddening of the skin, which feels warmer by touch. After rubbing, make several stroking movements. With a relaxing massage alternate rubbing with stroking several times.

In massage therapy, kneading is more often used,those. deeper effect on the muscles. For kneading, use the movements in which the skin is squashed with the underlying tissues, these movements resemble tweaking with the whole hand or kneading the dough. Mashing necessarily alternates with a deep stroking in the direction from the foot to the top, tk. When the massage is activated, metabolism in the tissues, and stroking can improve the peripheral blood flow, in which the cells are saturated with nutrients. From the interstitial fluid, the decay products are more quickly "expelled".

If you perform a massage procedure fora person for the first time, surely he will feel soreness, so the procedure should not be long. Increase the procedure time for each session. If you intend to do 10 massage sessions, from 8 times again shorten the duration.

The last step of the massage procedure is vibration. At this stage, you can gently pat your feet, but the palms should not be flat, but bent in the shape of a dome, the brushes are relaxed, "work" only with elbow joints. The essence of vibration is that in cotton, the force of air striking against the skin activates the bloodstream in the deep muscle layers.
