Massage Self Treatment Tips
By Jamie Meade, LMT and owner of Knead It Massage
Massage For Tired Eyes
Great for tired eyes from staring at the
computer-- it brings circulation to the area
and relieves sinus pressure, eye strain, and
headaches.
Close your eyes. Place thumbs under your
eyebrows, starting at the inside corner of
each eye socket. Press and gently move
your thumbs in tiny circles, working slowly
towards the outsides if your eyebrows and
continuing this movement all around your
eyes ending back at the bridge of your
nose. Repeat several times, spending a
little extra time at the indentation of the
inner eye socket, where the bridge of the
nose meets the ridge of the eyebrows- an
especially tender point on many people.
Massage Therapy To Ease Headaches
and Tension
Start by placing your thumb on your cheekbones close to your ears, and use your fingertips to gently apply pressure an rub the
temples (the soft spot between the corner of
your eye and ear).
Using very firm pressure and a tiny circular
motion, gradually move your fingers up
along your forehead, massaging your entire
forehead and scalp as you inch along.
Massage Therapy To Relieve Neck
Tension
While you are sitting, mold your hands
over your shoulders. Exhale while letting
your head drop back, squeeze your fingers
towards your palms, gliding up the muscles
of your back to your shoulders and up your
neck.
gently forward. This will stretch your neck
muscles and those that run down your
back.
Massage Therapy To Loosen Tight
Shoulders
For this one you will need a tennis ball or
another type of rubber ball.
Stand about 18 inches from the wall and go
down into a partial squat position with your
butt against the wall.
Lean forward, place the ball at the top of
your shoulder and start to stand up. Go
slowly-an inch at a time-pressing your
back towards the wall and rolling the ball
down your spine, stopping when you find
a tender spot and press until the pain subsides. If you have a hard time controlling
the ball, I suggest placing it in a sock and
controlling it with your hand hanging it
over your shoulder. Now repeat the other
side.
I hope these helpful tips can help you
relieve tension at home or at work.
