WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

What do I need to know about a back massage?

A back massage increases blood flow to the skin and muscles. It helps ease pain and stiffness. A back massage can help prevent problems, such as skin breakdown or pressure sores.

How do I give a back massage?

You can use lotion, cocoa butter, oil, or lanolin for a massage.

  • Put a small amount of warm lotion or oil on your hands. Rub your hands together so the lotion is spread evenly on your hands.
  • Move your hands slowly during the massage to help the person relax.
  • Start massaging the back at the lower back. Move your hands upward on both sides of the spine all the way to the shoulders.
  • Make a circular motion as you move your hands upward. Press a bit more firmly with your thumbs as you make the circles.
  • Move across the shoulders and start moving down the upper arms. Use less pressure as you move downward.
  • Ask if you are applying too much or too little pressure as you massage. Ask the person to tell you if he feels pain in any area. Do not massage a painful area, or massage it very gently.
  • Apply more lotion on your hands as needed.
