Required Equipment for Therapeutic Back Massage:

1. Warm, quiet, relaxed environment.
2. Firm comfortable surface such as a (firm) bed, massage table or floor mat.
3. Massage Oil. Baby oil will do fine for a starter.
4. Towels: to lie on, and also to cover the body.
5. Cushions or pillows.
Massage Tips:
1. Massage oil decreases the friction created on the skin and prevents the pulling of hairs. Don't use too much: The less oil, the greater the friction and the deeper the pressure.
2. Use slower movements for a soothing or calming response.
3. When applying pressure with finger or thumb, provide support with the other fingers and thumbs. Otherwise you will wear your thumbs out!
