Studying in more detail the principles of myofascial massage, you should note for yourself the fact that for each area of??the body the procedure has its own subtleties in terms of conduct. Further, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the nuances that will later help you realize a decent level of manipulative effect on certain parts of the body.

Head

Myofascial head massage is carried out in several stages. Initially, it is necessary to work with two hands with open palms in the scalp. The movements should be sufficiently intense and circular. Then you should put your head on your side, and put one hand on top. The thumb should be in front of the ear, and the remaining fingers on the scalp.





Work should be with the hand, which is the opposite side of the head tilt. Actions are also circular with a gentle stroking. After completing the actions on both sides, go to the forehead. Put your hands on the scalp and put your fingers on your forehead. Using the index and middle fingers on the frontal part, and the large fingers on the temporal lobe, intensively shift and extend the skin, sometimes performing light strokes.

Neck

This type of manipulation is carried out directly at the moment when you are processing the lateral parts of the head. During this period, you should put your other hand on your neck and perform deep strokes on it. At the same time, do not forget about the intensive processing of the behind-the-ear space. Movements should be rubbing or circular.

Face

Myofascial facial massage technique is very non-standard. In this case, it all starts at the corners of the mouth, which are carefully worked out by intense circular movements. Next, the fingers must be moved upward, directly to the corners of the mouth. From these points you start smooth movements to the cheekbones and back.


Next, you will need to work out the upper and lower eyelids. To do this, roll the skin away from the outer corner of the eye. The last zone of exposure will be the bridge of the nose. Here you will need to move from it towards the temples and back. To do this, it is better to use stroking or plucking movements.


When performing myofascial facial massage, be sure to move your fingers along the fibers. Also note that all manipulations on the head are implemented at a fast pace.

Body back

Myofascial back massage is a complex technique that is often used only by professionals. You can study it exclusively at specialized courses. Myofascial manipulations with the back are mainly used in case of breast kyphosis., scoliosis, myositis, poor posture and other problems.





As a result, you get the removal of pain and excessive tension from the muscles. In addition, self-regulating processes of the body are launched and general toning is carried out.
