Get the room warm. Have some nice essential oils if possible, rose, lavender, Lang y lang. Mix a few drops of each with some almond oil. Trim your nails, and rub your hands briskly to warm them just before you start.

Make long firm movements all the way up both sides of the spine with you palms spread wrists outwards, fingertips almost touching. Never work directly on top of the spine.

To work more deeply, move your body so that your shoulders are directly over your hands. Try to always work this way.

Basic movements are: flat gliding movements using palms or heels of hands. Kneading using both hands or thumbs. rapid circular movements of flat fingers of one hand to warm an area for a few minutes before working more deeply on it.

Make most of your firm movements running up the body, and lighter movements running back down. Try to always have some contact at all times.

And remember, as long as you stay off the spine itself - it'll all feel good. So.....have fun. Find some vids on youtube to get the gist of it.

Such brilliant advice, thanks so much :)
Plenty to be going on, I will let you know how I fare tomorrow!
