Im hoping this topic fits here...A bit at
least... Well my boyfriends job includes
alot of heavy weight lifting and his back
always hurts from it. He has asked me to
massage his back several times and I tried
my best.. But I actually have no clue
what im doing..Lol does anyone know what I
should pay attention to to make it better
lol I asked him how he wanted it but he
said the way I do it is just
fine...Charity talk
lol

I would believe him and continue to do it
just the way you are. Most massage
therapists have studied many of the
techniques over a long time to know how to
concentrate on just one place in the back.
You are probably doing a better job then
them because you are doing his whole back
and not too deep either. I know when my
pt guy has him massage guy work on my back
he goes so deep that I feel like puking
because of all the lactic acid released
into my bloodstream.

See,i like a good,deep, massage and have
only found one person who is not afraid to
go that deep.The lactic acid being
released is a good thing,getting rid of
the excess.Just be sure to drink lots of
water to help flush it out.Get a massage
book to help you with your technique,but
if he likes it the way you do it,keep it
up!Patty
