Do You Suffer From Tired Hands? Learn This Simple Treatment and Give Them Relief!
Whether you have practice esthetics for many years or are new to esthetics, learning new massage movements is like adding spices to your recipe. These specialty techniques will be enjoyed by both you and your clients. Each of the face and neck movements are independent movements that you can select and incorporate based on the client’s skin and your personal preferences.
A good massage is like a dance choreographed between you and your client. Fluidity, continuity, and suitability for the client are key components. To build your skills, practice these movements and start blending them into the massage you have already learned. Vary the massage slightly from time to time for your client so you do not become totally predictable. Your client may comment that he or she especially enjoys a specific movement, which you can note and include in every treatment the client receives.
Also, be advised that adding new massage movements does not mean you have to learn a new massage. You just master the new movements and incorporate them at logical points in your current massage, where they flow smoothly and rhythmically.
Performing Facial Pressure Point Massage
Facial Pressure point massage is based on the ancient art of Shiatsu massage, a form of physical therapy for the body. This technique originated in Japan and involves the application of pressure to acupuncture points throughout the body. Acupuncture is the Chinese practice based on the belief that the body is made of energy pathways that connect to various organs and parts of the body. A person’s health is influenced by this flow of energy. When the flow of this energy is insufficient, unbalance, or interrupted, it can adversely affect the health of that organ and potentially the entire body. While acupuncture has a long history, there is less scientific documentation on the effects of Shiatsu.
The Advantage for Estheticians Is That Shiatsu Is Easiter To Lean and Safer to Incorporate
Shiatsu is easy to learn, it requires no special equipment, supplies, or oils, and can be performed as often as once a day. It is easily incorporated into any facial treatment at any time in the facial treatment, however, it is usually recommended as the final close of your regular massage or in place of regular massage.
