you will have two ridges of muscle that run just outboard of the spine.
These ridges are where you should concentrate your attention.
When
pressing up the back start at the very, very base of the spine (even as low as
the upper buttock). Apply pressure with the heel of each hand. Lean forward as
you press. Slide your hands
along the ridges of muscle from the very base of the spine until you reach the
shoulder blades.
In
contrast to the circulation stroke, don't bring your hands back along the far
outside of the back. Bring them back just outboard of where you just massaged.
You will know when you are doing
this stroke properly. Your partner will moan with delight.
At least ten strokes are
appropriate here. Your partner will probably ask for more. Entertain them with
different variations (small circles as you glide up the spine, use your thumbs
in place of the heel of your hand, scratch their back as you return to the base
of the spine, use your imagination).
Using your thumbs you can concentrate on the muscle tissue just outboard
of the spine. You can glide up these muscles best if you use a liberal amount
of massage oil. Small circular strokes
in this area feel absolutely divine.
We pretty much can guarantee that anyone – woman or man – will love a
foot massage. But massaging the foot
involves more than just kneading the foot.
Our feet take a beating in daily life. Who wouldn't
want to lie down at the end of the day and receive a foot massage? Our dogs are
tired.
The first stroke in a good foot
massage is called a circulation stroke. The name implies that it increase blood
