The back is known to be the most stressed out part of the body simply because it is the part that holds all of the other body parts like the head, the arms, and the legs together. It is because of this that while doing everyday routines like standing, walking or sitting, the back takes a real beating. It is because of this that one would need a regular back massage Raleigh if he leads an active lifestyle.

Of course when massaging this area, the first thing to think about would be the position of the masseur or masseuse and the one being massaged. Now the one being massaged should lay on his front with his arms and legs down. The masseur or masseuse will have to acquire a kneeling position beside the receiver.

The very first place to start would be at the lower part of the neck. Now in order to do this, one has to press down on the lower neck area and also the area located right above the buttocks which is the tail of the spine. Now he just has to push it down gently and rub it a little bit just right before the real session would start.

Now after doing that, he should now start by putting a little bit of oil on his stands but must make sure not to spill the oil on the body of the receiver. Now in order to start, he has to apply pressure on the area near the gut which is right above the buttocks. Now move the hands in a circle while applying some pressure on this part.

From that area, move the hands upward still in a circular motion until it reaches the rib cage area. From there, massage the area of the back that is very near the spine. Now it is always better to use the thumbs to handle this part because the thumbs are more precise than the entire hand.

Once that part is done, it is now time to hit the upper back which is the rather harder part to handle. Now for this part, one would have to use his thumbs all the time because he has to precisely hit certain points in the body. He has to make sure to apply the right amount of pressure which is not too weak nor too strong.

Once that is done, slowly move up to the shoulder region and start concentrating on this area. Now do take note that this is where all the stress is which means this is where the muscles bunch up. So one has to make sure that he is very precise when it comes to pressing the points here so that he may unblock the clogs.

The very last part would be to concentrate on the neck area. Now it is here that one has to be extra sensitive and extra careful because the neck is very fragile and cannot take too much pressure from the hands. Once one is done with the neck, run through the entire back quickly to wrap up the session.
