Most people give massages by guessing. They push where it seems tight and hope for the best. An actual therapeutic massage — the kind that releases tension, improves circulation, and makes someone melt into the table — requires knowing what you’re doing.
This guide gives you the foundational massage techniques that make the difference between a random back rub and something that genuinely helps.
What’s inside:
- The core massage strokes: effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, and when to use each
- Body mechanics: how to use your body weight instead of just your hands
- Working the most common tension areas: neck, shoulders, back, and feet
- Setup basics: table height, draping, and creating a relaxing environment
- Pressure guidelines: how to find the right pressure without causing pain
- When to avoid massage and what not to do
For partners, caregivers, and curious humans who want to give a massage that actually feels good — not just well-intentioned.
