Secrets of a Great Message
You dont't have to be in bed to give each other a terrific massage. "Loving touch can happen
anywhere, anytime,"says Celenia Rettger, of the American Message Therapy Association, who likes giving her husband a back rub while they watch watch TV with the kids.Her best tip:
Use your hands, not your fingers. "Many people make the mistake of moving their fingers around too much, and that's what causes hand fatigue," she says. "instead use the palm or heel of your hands. Lean into the muscle, using your body weight. Don't knead." For a deeper, more intimate massage, have him undress and lie on the floor (the bed too soft). Be careful not to press on the spine, which can hurt. To really learn the magic touch , encourge gentle feedback.
