In this text, we will try to bring you some secret massages and help you successfully and effectively massage another person, for example – a partner massage.
1. Prerequisites for a successful partner massage
Massage does not have to involve great preparation, nor knowledge. But, one of the conditions for your endeavor to be more successful, is the atmosphere. Make sure that the room is tidy and noise-free. In addition, relaxing music and mutual mood can greatly contribute to the effects of your massage as well as possible. scented candles.
2. Nobody likes friction
Your hands may be gentle and well-groomed, but that doesn’t mean you have to prove it to your partner by rubbing and pressing “dry”. Choose the appropriate oil, with a pleasant smell. Before starting the massage, warm it by rubbing it with your hands. Only then start massaging.

Where and how to start? In front of you is the endless surface of your partner’s back. We assume that he, like most people, moves a little and often feels tension in his neck.

Slowly lower your fists down your neck and massage When you feel a tingling sensation in your fingertips, you can be sure that your partner has also felt the effect, but in the form of relaxation.
4. Pay attention to the strength of the pressure
If your partner writhes under your pressure as if he wants to run away – he doesn’t like what you’re doing. It hurts. So pay attention to the pressure you apply when massaging. Ask your partner how he feels.

Once you have mastered the smaller areas on your body, it is time to move on to your back. Place your hands on both sides of your spine. Lower them from the neck to the hips, and then repeat the same, gathering the fists into fists. Press harder in the upper body. After that, loosen the grip and go down the spine.
If you feel a nodule (lactic acid), stop at that point. Use strong, circular movements of your fingers to cross the knot, and try to “break” it. You can even pinch that part.
