To give a woman a full body massage, focus on creating a relaxing and comfortable environment and using techniques that address tension in key muscle groups.
Creating a Relaxing Environment
- Set the Mood: Dim the lights, play soft music, and ensure the room is warm and comfortable.
- Prepare the Supplies: Have clean towels, massage oil or lotion, and pillows readily available.
- Communicate: Ask about any areas of discomfort or sensitivity before you begin. This is crucial for ensuring her comfort and enjoyment.
Massage Techniques & Body Areas
-
Starting Position: Have her lie face down (prone) on the massage table or a comfortable surface.
-
Neck and Shoulders:
- Kneading: Use your fingertips and thumbs to knead the muscles in her neck and shoulders, working out any knots or tension.
- Circular Motions: Apply gentle, circular motions to further relax the area.
-
Back:
- Effleurage: Use long, sweeping strokes from the neck down to the lower back, applying gentle pressure. This helps warm up the muscles.
- Petrissage: Incorporate kneading, rolling, and lifting motions to release deeper tension. Focus on the muscles along the spine and shoulder blades.
- Thumb Pressure: Use your thumbs to apply pressure along the spine, avoiding direct pressure on the bones.
-
Arms:
- Effleurage: Use long, flowing strokes from the shoulder to the wrist.
- Kneading: Gently knead the muscles in the upper and lower arm.
- Hand Massage: Pay attention to the hands, massaging each finger and the palm of the hand.
-
Legs:
- Effleurage: Use long, upward strokes from the ankles to the thighs.
- Kneading: Knead the calf muscles and the muscles in the thighs.
- Foot Massage: Hold her foot in one hand and use your thumb to massage the sole, paying attention to the arch and heel. Gently pull and rotate each toe.

Legs (Front): Repeat the same leg massage techniques as before, focusing on the front of the thighs and shins.
-
Arms (Front): Repeat arm massage techniques.

Chest and Abdomen: This area requires extra care and discretion.
