It's obvious that you'd probably like to have a trained massage therapist give you a massage than do it yourself. But if you're like most folks, you don't always have free time or money to go to a massage therapist. Giving yourself a massage is a great alternative, and saving some money at the same time. If you have insurance that covers massages, then you're lucky. But you can still do a simple self massage in between your appointments with your therapist, so you can relax your sore muscles.

The main idea behind a "do it yourself massage" is to rub the common painful areas on your body that a massage therapist would stroke. You probably do some self massing without even thinking about it, by stroking your shoulders after leaning over a keyboard for hours, rubbing your head when you have a headache, or massaging your feet after a long walk. Here are some massage ideas to help you get started.

Back massage: Get a tennis ball and sit in a straight back chair. Put the tennis ball on any sore areas on your back and lean into the chair. Lean your back into the ball. Take ten deep breaths and repeat the process at least two times.

Head massage: Place your hands on your scalp and start massaging in a clockwise motion.Start at your hairline and move back to the nape of your neck. Take deep breaths and massage as you breathe. Remember to change the direction.

Foot massage: Wash your feet and put some lotion or oil on them. Sit on a cozy chair and rest one foot on the thigh of your other leg. Thread the fingers of one hand through the toes of your foot, spreading out your toes. Place the palm of your hand against the bottom of your foot. Rotate the joints of your forefoot back and forth for one minute with the palm of your hand. Repeat with the other foot. Next, hold your ankle with one hand and slowly rotate your foot with the other hand. Make sure to start easy with small circles and make them larger. Switch directions. Repeat with the other foot.

Neck massage: Place your fingers behind your neck, pressing the heels of your palms into your neck on either side of your spinal column. Start moving the heels of your hands up and down gently. Place the fingers of your right hand on the muscle along the left side of your neck just below the base of your skull. Press that muscle, tilt your head to the left, and rub down toward your shoulder. Repeat two times and then switch sides.

Shoulder squeeze: Cross your arms over your chest and grab a shoulder with each hand. Squeeze the shoulders and release five times. Move your hands down your arms, squeeze and release.

How do you make homemade hand/foot print ornaments?

Looking for a simple homemade way to make a hand print/foot print ornament for my 12 week old son.

There are many kits that can be purchased for making 3-D imprints of baby feet/hands, but here are some links with ways to make them yourself**:

http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+baby+handprint+footprint+clay+plaster

You should be able to use various clay-like substances as well as plaster. Those would generally be divded up into water-based "air-dry" clays and oil-based "polymer clays."

There are many types of air-dry clay, some of which can be made at home. They range from poor quality (in terms of handling and smoothness, etc.) to very good quality, and are usually "paper" based or grain/flour based.
Purchased ones would range from PlayDoh at the low end, to Creative Paperclay or Crayola's Air Dry Clay at the higher end, as well as some "mineral" based air-dry clays that you may not often see in a craft or art supply store.
Homemade air-dry clays would be primarily grain-based ones like "salt dough" clay and "bread clay." (Salt dough would be a bit easier to make a lot of, but bread clay captures a bit more detail.

http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+bread+clay

http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+salt+dough+clay )

Keep in mind that all air-dry clays must be sealed to protect them from humidity, and the grain-based ones sealed against hungry bugs during storage as well. Air-dry clays will also shrink a bit (up to 30% depending on type, etc).

If desired, air-dry clays can be colored by mixing various pigments into them before shapin (acrylic paints are probably the most commonly used), or they can also be painted afterward.

Polymer clays on the other hand can't be made at home, and require a short bake in a low-heat home oven to cure. They won't shrink at all (except perhaps *thin* sheets that are really *long,* say 12" or so, if baked without a backing).
Polymer clays can be made much thinner than air-dry clays and still stay strong (except for the 3 lines of polymer clay called original Sculpey, SuperSculpey flesh, and Sculpey III, which should be backed with something strong after baking since they're more brittle than all the other lines of polymer clay).

** be careful though of some things you read... for example, there are inaccuracies in this paragraph from one of those links:
. . ."You can also purchase your own clay. Make sure it’s the kind that dries hard, such as polymer air-dry clay by makers such as Creative Paper Clay, La Doll or Premier. A company called Makins produces air-dry clay in an array of colors! You can also paint most clays after they dry. I’ve found that clay that air-dries doesn’t tend to shrink or shift like baked clay might. Popular brands such as Sculpey and Fimo are typically baked in an oven." . . .

One thing to think about though for making "ornaments" from these prints is that most of these clays would be heavy by the time you used enough of the clay to create a hand or foot print, and would tend to bend most xmas tree limbs.
Lighter-weight versions could be made these ways though:
...using a paper-based clay (Creative Paperclay, Celluclay, Crayola Air Dry Clay)
...using a thinner sheet of polymer clay
...using the polymer clay called "Ultralight"
...using a thinner sheet of any clay then backing it with something lightweight, rigid and strong

Or, you could do something else for the ornaments with your baby's prints, using 2-D versions instead of 3-D... e.g., "stamping" prints onto cardstock then hanging those (or make cards or bookmarks, etc, with them), stamping them onto fabric then using for aprons, t-shirts, placemats, etc.

For some of those, you wouldn't have to repeatedly stamp your baby's foot onto something. You could instead just photocopy (color or bw) the best ones onto cardstock, then use the copies as ornaments, bookmarks, cards, etc.

Also, if you *scanned* the print you'd made, you'd then have the option of reducing the image size (could then print or print then photocopy for permanence). If you reduced the image, you could even put many of images into one final image that you could then use as an ornament, background for a photo, etc.
Photocopying can also reduce the size of an image but is a bit more fiddly and more expensive (but it does use toner so is waterproof, where most inkjet inks aren't permanent... you'd want to give a couple of sprays of acrylic sealer to those, or cover with clear adhesive plastic from the office supply store or grocery store for shelving, etc.)

I have recently purchased a hand held back massager, and I have no words to express how in love with it I am. At first, I didn't think it would help my back pain. I work in a doctor's office so I'm up and about a lot. Other times I am sitting in a chair making what feels like a million phone calls a day! Who knew a small piece of equipment could sooth my pulsing back pain? Sure, my husband has great hands. Don't get me wrong, I love when he massages me, but there is no better massager then a personal one that you can control to any speed you desire.

I had received a rolling wooden massager for Christmas one year from a Secret Santa gift exchange. My Secret Santa ended up being my best friend. I didn't realize this small thing would work so many wonders! As soon as I opened it, I put it to good use. I made her massage my back in circular and firm motions. I needed a bit more of a push with the massage so, when I got home, my husband applied massage lotion to it and it slid into all the crevices to massage all of my sore spots. It was absolutely amazing!

Since I had been complaining of back pain that same year, my husband actually bought me a Christmas present that I have been using for quite a few years now, a heated shiatsu back massager. This amazing piece of equipment has many features, which include:

• Different options on which part of your back to massage.
• Rollers which go up and down your spine. This really feels like you are at a masseuse.
• Vibrations that really rattle things up!
• With the added heating pad on this device, it has made my sore back feel more loose and flexible!

The perfect thing about this heated massager is that I can sit or lay down to use it. And on top of that, my husband appreciates the fact the he is let off the hook and doesn't have to massage my back every night when I come home from work. Of course, he still massages me, but this personal massager has just hit the spot to many of the trigger zones on my back.

Another nice thing about this massager is that it isn't loud at all. There is only a slight humming sound attached to it. I have been using this massager while I'm surfing the web, watching TV, eating dinner, giving myself a pedicure, and doing my hair and make up! There are a lot of people who suffer from back related injures and pains. This is defiantly a massager everyone should have in their house. In my opinion, it is totally worth it in the end.

Please visit my site for more information before you buy a hand held back massager.

Stress is becoming more prevalent and harmful today yet still too many sufferers are adopting the wrong solutions to counteract the effects. Natural remedies such as massage has not only the beneficial effect of reducing stress but will result in many hidden benefits also.

Amongst the many ways to successfully manage stress, massage is a great way to relieve tension. The benefits of massage therapy are numerous, ranging from promoting relaxation to loosening tight muscles and increasing blood flow through to a natural remedy to that stress created phenomena, headache pain.

In order to break the cycle, action is required and an appointment to see a massage therapist or self massage can assist in reducing your stress levels. What ever therapy you choose, it can help you manage stress by relieving anxiety and tension, promoting relaxation, increasing your energy, improving sleep, reducing muscle soreness, and decreasing pain. It is even possible to self massage if you understand the basic hand movements of the therapy.

Therapeutic massage, such as the Swedish method, is one of the techniques most popular in relieving stress. The Swedish techniques, that are often referred to as a full body massage, involve gentle kneading pressure and long strokes applied to the surface to relieve tension in the muscles and connective tissues. Therapeutic massage will often involve such methods as aromatherapy using massage oils and candles whereby the pleasing aromas can contribute to your stress relief during the therapy session.

A combination of massage techniques can also be helpful in managing stress. Other such techniques that can help relieve stress include deep-tissue massage to release tension from the deeper muscles and connective tissues, trigger point therapy to release muscle spasms from specific areas, and shiatsu to improve the flow of energy ("Qi" or "Ki") in the body by applying firm pressure to specific acupressure points.

Stress is a natural phenomena created by the body in response to the demands of life. Stress helps you face challenges and "stay on top of your game." Stress can be the result of environmental, physical or emotional factors. Although stress is a natural, and necessary part of everyday life, prolonged or chronic stress can lead to damaging health effects, including psychological and emotional disorders, as well as the development of diseases such as cardiovascular disease. Once the stress problems appear endemic, often incorrect and harmful solutions are adopted and can in fact worsen the effects. You have to differentiate between "good" and "bad" stress and then incorporate relieving methods such as massage, be it for the full body or perhaps the back and neck or even just the head area, to ensure your mental and physical state are operating at the optimum.

Discover the secret to heal, improve, relieve, relax, even arouse just with the power of your hands, guaranteed! The beneficial effects of the various massage therapies available are too often ignored as a natural method of easing common ailments. It is not difficult to learn the basics of massage and the rewards are fantastic. Discover how you can harness the power of your hands and be able to massage with confidence at http://www.massagedvd.info

1. If you are injured you need to rest. You also need to apply ice. Give it time to heal before you start in with any exercise routine. When you are ready then start gently with mild stretching and massage.

2. Learn how to stretch your body. This is also called yoga. It takes time and effort to learn how to stretch. Buy books, watch videos, go to classes. Then take time to stretch every day. This is not optional!

3. Get massage. Massage releases tension from tight muscles that are impinging on nerves. Massage is an incredible healing tool that everyone should receive on a regular basis. If you can't afford massage then arrange to trade with someone. Also, self massage is very important. Do self massage daily!

4. Buy a self massage cane. Using this tool is explained on my videos. The Theracane is an excellent brand.

5. Strengthen your muscles with exercise. Go to a local gym. Walk every day. Do crunches. You are in charge of your own life! Health care is 99% on YOU...not a doctor!

6. Support your back! I prefer natural back support products verses foam. (See my "Miracle Back Support" page on my web site) Buckwheat hull back supports are a great way to support your back at work, home or in the car. Don't slouch! Keep your sacrum (tail bone) pressed right into the corner of your seat.

7. Get your work UP. Don't look down all the time! Get your computer, book, knitting or whatever UP so that you don't have to look down.

8. Take regular breaks. Slow down and take time to rest and recover.

9. Have regular sex. Sex makes your back strong and flexible!

10. De-stress. The more wound the mind, the tighter the back. Stress is the biggest factor in most illness. Take time to do breathing exercises, meditate, reflect and don't sweat the small stuff.

" Hold the breathe for a count of four

" Exhale slowly for a count of four

Repeat this breathing pattern 4-7 times and then return to normal breathing.

Self Massage

Performing a self-massage is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to relieve muscle tension. Sure, it won't be as thorough or as practiced as a professional massage, but it has a number of benefits. You have an immediate feedback loop going, so you'll always know if you're going too hard, too soft, or just right. It saves you plenty of money, especially if you perform a small massage daily. And finally it's available to you whenever you need one, and it can be as long and thorough or as short and specific as you require.

Learning self massage isn't even that hard, you just need to get down some basic rubs for each major muscle group. Here's a few to get you started:

To massage your hands, first place your left hand out in front of you with your fingers touching. Using your other hand, begin to massage the fleshy, webby part of your left hand that sits in between your thumb and pointer finger. Massaging it using a circular motion for about twenty to thirty seconds. Now perform on your other hand. Try this motion out on the center of your palm as well and the base of each finger as well.

To massage your forearms, grab them with your opposite hand and work them with a lot of pressure, kneading up and down. Your forearms have a lot of different muscles and muscle groups within them, so they require heavy massage from a variety of angels.

To massage your feet, first sit comfortably and cross one leg over the other. Using both hands, grab hold of the arch of your foot and start pressing it with your thumbs. Try applying pressure in a straight line up and down the inside of your foot. Eventually, start kneading up and down the entire foot. Rub and role your sole, and massage your pads and toes the same way you massaged your hands and fingers.

To massage your calves, just slowly work your way up, from your ankle to your knee, kneading. Try working the back of your calves with a good amount of pressure, as these are densely knotted muscles that perform a lot of work, much like your forearms.

To massage your neck and shoulders, you want to massage each shoulder with the opposite hand- so work your right shoulder with your left hand, and vice versa. Take the bulk of the flesh between your thumb and forefingers and roll it back and forth, and then work it with circular motions. Be sure to get deep in there, and apply additional pressure with your remaining fingers as needed. To finish, apply a lot of pressure squeezing and rubbing as hard as you can. These muscles take on a lot of tension, and require a lot of work to fully loosen up.

To massage your face, a good method is to place your fingers on your face and, while applying pressure, gently rock them up and down, and then back and forth. Squeeze along your eyebrows back and forth, and apply some light pressure to the bridge of your nose. Try out circular motions as well, especially with the palm of your hand. Your face has a lot of muscles, but they tend to be thin and close to the skin, so don't apply the same hard pressure that your shoulders or thighs might require.

And of course, when massaging yourself, make sure you don't overdo it and hurt yourself. Too much pressure can cause all sorts of muscle problems, so do your best to refresh your muscles and then move on to the next group, especially if you perform this every day.

More often than not, I get really bad muscle cramps when I'm done playing my daily game of tennis. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the sport, but I absolutely hate the unbearable achiness I have the next day, sometimes it makes it even hard to play the next day because I'm in so much pain! On a whim a few months ago, I decided to get one of these really nice massagers I saw on HSN (home shopping network) and I'll be honest at first I was a little skeptical if it would work or not. The product was under $115, what could it really do for that amount of money? Once I received the item, I was actually looking forward to using it right away since I was having a terrible muscle spasm that same day. I used the massager for not even ten minutes and the achiness and spasm completely disappeared. These things are fantastic. They are affordable, they actually work, and they are for home use so you know they aren't going to be this heavy piece of machinery you're going to have to lug around the house with you.

These massagers are available just about everywhere. Recently, I just heard of another brand new massager coming out called The Thumper. This item doesn't come out until the beginning of August but honestly, even though I love my massager, I might go buy one of these as well! The Thumper is unlike other massager's, instead of just rubbing the surface of your skin, it actually massages deep into the muscle tissue. Here are a few extra added features that are included with the massager:

Percussive action for a massage that penetrates stiff muscles

Heavy Duty DC motor

20 - 40 Hz of various speed controls

User friendly design contours the fit of your hand and allows for self massages

Interchangeable massage heads (this is fantastic)

I absolutely love the different massage heads as well as the different speeds because then you can almost "choose" how slow or fast as well as how soft or hard you would like the massager to go. Just in case you were wondering there are also several other versions of The Thumper available including Thumper Sport, Thumper Maxi Pro, Thumper Mini Pro 2 and The Thumper Versa. If you would like more information on The Thumper Sport or any other of The Thumper massager's please check out your favorite search engine!

It's always nice to pamper yourself a little. You rely on your hair stylist to give you the perfect cut and color, and your nail technician to keep your nails looking beautiful, but why not treat your body from head to toe with a day spa?

"What can I expect when I go to a day spa?" you ask?

Well, let's have a look right now at what you can expect so that you can decide whether it's time to go for one, or whether one was long overdue! Your spa visit will include a facial, a vichi shower treatment or something similar, a massage, a manicure, a haircut and style. If that sounds like an very busy day with little time to relax, don't worry, you'll be jelly by the end of the day!

Let's have a look at a day at the spa, step by step.

You arrive a few minutes early where a friendly receptionist escorts you into a change room where you're greeted with a warm and fluffy rob and a pair of slippers too. You're also handed a gown to wear to prepare you to have your facial.

You slip out of your clothes into your robe, and you are already beginning to relax. You are escorted to the spa where you are asked to fill out some questions about products you use, whether you smoke, if you are pregnant, and if you suffer from any medical conditions. When you're done, the technician leads you to the facial room.

You lie on a massage table where the esthetician tucks you in under a soft blanket. Your facial begins. It's soothing, and painless except for the removal of a few blackheads. Your skin will suddenly have a youthful glow when you're done. Then it's off to your vichi shower and massage. You find yourself in a room that's dimly lit and comfortably warm. You are asked to lie on the massage table. Your masseuse will tell you that you can keep yourself as covered, as you want. You'll be gently massaged from head to toe with a body scrub. You'll feel invigorated. The overhead shower will gently rinse you off.

This treatment detoxifies the body and you'll feel absolutely revitalized.

Wait, that wasn't the actual massage, that's now. A warm soft table awaits you. You'll feel the warm body oil against your skin and those magical hands that know just how to make your muscles relax. You'll think you are in heaven. You'll find yourself massaged from top to bottom and of course, you can cover up as desired. You begin to drift off.

When you're done, you are escorted back to the lounge for a cup of herbal tea.

When you're ready you return to change room, get dressed, and next it's off to get your hair done. The hair stylist will be asking what you want in your new haircut. After that, comes your manicure, and when that's done, you'll be gorgeous all over. Your day at the spa is done and you have been pampered from head to toe.

You've never felt more relaxed!

Now that's time well spent!

Relaxation is great for you and your skin, so go for it and get gorgeous!

Where can i go to be naked in public?

Hi,
where can i go to be seen naked in public. I know i can just run outside in the nude, but i want to do it where it is acceptable. Should i go to a gym and go to the locker room so i can shower in the open, or should i go to a spa, or should i get a massage and get naked to to lay on the table?
Please give me some ideas, and perhaps some stories that you have as well?

Any where in public lol

Have you ever noticed that when you are stressed or overworked a massage can work wonders? The problem is that you'll often find that the one place you can't reach yourself is the place that needs massaging the most.

Between the shoulder blades or lower down your back seem to be the worst culprits. Even if you can reach some of the knots like the back of your neck or should you can't apply enough pressure to work out the knots.

This is where trigger point therapy tools come into play. A trigger point therapy tool such as the Body Back Buddy Massage Cane or the Thera Cane Back Massager can allow you to reach the trigger points that you can't reach yourself.

These massage therapy tools have been developed over recent years by chiropractors and massage professionals to allow you to self massage with amazing accuracy and results . You only need to read the reviews on sites such as amazon to see how useful they are. Out of 57 reviews 48 gave the Body Back Buddy 5 stars and 7 gave it 4 stars. Basically these things work and do what they are supposed to do.

These tools have many benefits such as:

They can help to release sore muscle trigger points with shiatsu massage/ pressure massage

They make it easy to reach hard to reach shoulder and back trigger points

They can be beneficial for shiatsu treatment of Fibromyalgia trigger points

Allows you to self treat knotted muscles in your neck and back

They may help to reduce muscle pain by means of direct applied pressure

They can work out knots in hard to reach places.

Massage Therapy tools generally come in two types, collapsible which are great for traveling and the sturdier one piece cane which is perfect for use at home or in the office. The canes are simple to use just locate the area that needs treatment and then apply the cane. No matter where the ache or know you'll always have a ball within reach of just the right area.

If you are looking for an ideal gift for a friend or family member a trigger point therapy tool coupled with a book on shiatsu massage will make the perfect gift this Christmas. Just make sure that before you wrap it up you try it on yourself and then hope that they have bought one for you!
