BACK AND SHOULDER MASSAGE
A back and shoulder massage is a form of bodywork that focuses on the muscles, joints and bones of the back, neck and shoulder regions which is a problem spot for most people. The massage therapist uses his or her finger pressure along with the hands and elbows to manipulate the soft tissue of the muscles and joints in these areas. It is usually accompanied by light or medium pressure, which can be increased or decreased depending on the client's sensitivity tolerance. The back and shoulder massage may also incorporate the use of herbal cream or herbal hot compress ball to achieve better results.
The Benefits of Back And Shoulder Massage
A back and shoulder massage is most often performed while the client is lying face-down on a massage table, although some therapists may use chairs or other forms of therapy furniture. The massage therapist's hands are the key tools in this type of massage. The therapist typically begins by rubbing the back in broad, circular motions to loosen up any stiff or vulnerable areas before moving on to more specific movements. The therapist may also apply pressure to certain points along the spine to help ease pain and stress.
