Is there anything special about the massage techniques in SPA?
The massage techniques in SPA do have many unique features! Different massage techniques have different effects and sensations. Let me introduce a few to you:Rowing: This is a long push method, starting from the center of the body, pushing upwards to the top, and then rowing back to the starting point along both sides of the body with both hands. It is often applied to large, elongated areas such as the back and legs, and is often used as the starting and ending movements of massage, allowing you to feel relaxed and stretched throughout your body.
Long push: Aromatic massage often uses this method. Place your hands together on your body and slowly slide forward, releasing stable force through your palms and soles. It is particularly suitable for larger areas such as the back, entire legs, or arms, and can effectively promote blood circulation.
Short push: This method is also a common technique in aromatherapy massage, which involves alternating the forward movement of both hands and pushing forward by about 2 hand lengths. It is commonly used in small areas such as calves, thighs, and shoulders to enhance the massage effect on the muscles in that area.
Finger pressure: The thumb is opened at a right angle to the four fingers, which are supported on the body and pressed by the thumb. It is commonly used on both sides of the spine, the arms, the midline of the legs, and other positions to slowly press and move upwards at a fixed point, which can help relieve tense muscles and nerves.
Gently rub: the action of holding the torso or shoulders with the thumb and four fingers, and pushing up and down to rub. It is commonly used for local massage, but gradually completes the entire area, such as the trunk and abdomen, allowing you to feel warm and soothing.
In addition, in SPA massage, there are various techniques such as classic Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, hot stone massage, aromatherapy massage, sports massage, Thai massage, etc., each with its own unique characteristics and suitable audience. If you are interested in a certain technique or want to choose a suitable SPA project based on your own needs, I can provide you with more detailed introduction and recommendations.
