Head to Toe Self Massage
Massage is invigorating and you can do it for yourself. Just follow
these easy techniques:
Head:
For a relaxing scalp massage to
drain away the day’s tensions and
leave you feeling relaxed and alert,
place your hands on your scalp at
the roots of your hair. Spread out
your fingers and thumbs to cover as
much area as possible and gently
rotate them in a clockwise
direction. Breath deeply through
your nose to promote good
circulation. Gradually work your
hands all over your scalp from your
hairline to your nape, until it
starts to tingle slightly then
reverse direction.
Face:
You can relax your facial muscles
and help yourself feel more
refreshed with a gentle face
massage. Using your index and second
fingers of each hand, make small
circular movements around your eyes,
across cheeks, forehead and chin.
Cup your cheeks for a minute so that
the warmth of your hands can relax
the tissue. Then repeat the circular
movement, soon you will feel a
glowing relief.
Feet:
Sit in a comfortable position
with your feet resting up on the bed
or on a chair. Working on one foot
at a time, cup your heel with one
hand and with the other make small
circular movements starting with
each toe. Gradually move down to the
ball of your foot and kneed this for
a few minutes then slowly work over
your sole and down to your heel.
