FULL BODY MASSAGE FOR MEN

Reasons For Having a Full Body Massage

Massaging will benefit the mental state of the person you work on, the muscular condition, the blood circulation and the lymph drainage.

Arm and hand massaging

  • Useful to relieve the problems that come with the excessive use of arms and hands. This will not only relieve problems with arms and hands, but massage can also solve many problems like poor blood circulation and arthritis.
  • Arm and hand massage can give a soothing and relaxing experience for those looking for instant solutions.

Foot massage techniques

  • Stroking - stimulates circulation and warms the foot.
  • Ankle rotations loosens joints and relaxes feet.
  • With repeated foot massages, any stiffness will begin to recede. This is a particularly good exercise for those of you suffering from arthritis.
  • Toe pulls and squeezes. Toes, like fingers, are quite sensitive to the touch - this massage can be very calming.

Leg massages

  • This stimulates the lymph system and a regular thigh massage enhances the appearance of thighs by preventing cellulite and smoothing them.
  • It is recommended to use natural or herbal oils in the leg massage process. The oils give a soothing effect and make you feel much better. Some of the useable oils are olive oil, avocado oil and almond oil.
  • It is good to apply pressure on the hamstrings and shins with the use of fingertips and by switching the hand positions every few seconds.

Reasons for leg pain

  • Sitting or standing for long hours of the day
  • Hours of running or walking
  • Lifting heavy weights
  • Previous leg injury
  • Lack of healthy diet
  • Arthritis and other various chronic diseases

Neck massages

Neck pain is caused from abnormalities in the soft tissues such as nerves, ligaments and muscles. Men are at great risk for neck pain if they work out regularly, lift weights, play sports or are involved in stunt work, as well as if they lift heavy materials at work or drive or sit in any one position for long period of time.

Inactivity of the body is also considered to be another cause of neck pain. Other causes may include arthritis, osteoporosis and other chronic disorders. Neck massage is extremely beneficial in order to reduce the stiffness in the neck. Due to immobility of the body for many hours, the muscles in the body tend to contract which causes stiffness and sometimes pain. Neck massage benefits are numerous and have been known to relieve neck related problems to a great extent.
