Any tips on massage techniques? : )?

[sweetsupplies85]

Ok so my hubby and I decided this year for valentine's day to gift eachother crafty gifts. I made him something, but I was thinking of something different to give him in addition...so the past couple days I've been reading about massages, and different techniques. Does anybody have any suggestions on good legitimate websites/books for me to do some more research? I'm a quick learner, and I am just looking for some good suggestions / tips. If anyone has any to share I'd love to hear them! Thanks

I don't know what you can learn from the little snippets of the video - but if you hear a term in there like effleurage - do a youtube search for it - that should give you some rough ideas...

And trust me, any guy will appreciate long slow strokes with medium pressure with some gentle kneeding. Just make sure to use a space heater or some means to keep the room warm enough...or provide a drape (blanket etc) to cover the areas you aren't working on - nothing wrecks a good massage like being cold. And be sure to play some soft instrumental music...

Edit: sorry, on my computer the films dont appear to work the way they used to - stick with a youtube search - there is some good stuff there
