Chocolate massage

Who among us does not dream of being beautiful and healthy? Of course, everyone wants this. And massage can help achieve this goal. If we talk about the types of massage, there are a lot of them. But among all types of massage, there is one massage that can bring a person, in addition to healing, unprecedented sensual pleasure. The main element of this massage is extremely useful, as it contains a lot of macronutrients, vitamins and, moreover, is very loved by most people, especially children. As you probably already guessed, we are talking about chocolate.

Chocolate massage is a technique, the main purpose of which is to relieve a person of stress and improve the overall health of the body with the help of chocolate. Chocolate massage is a combination of massage techniques, psychotherapy, lymphatic drainage, aromatherapy, masks and other cosmetic procedures aimed at stimulating metabolic processes in the human body. Chocolate massage, according to many masseurs, is the most pleasant massage of all massages created by mankind today.

A chocolate massage is performed based on natural chocolate, or a mixture of cocoa bean powder in combination with coconut oil or cocoa butter. Chocolate massage helps to get rid of cellulite, get rid of negative thoughts and improve mood, normalize blood circulation, makes the skin soft and smooth, rejuvenates the body and returns a person to the world of carefree childhood, helps the body produce endorphins.

The need to adjust the figure and normalize weight;
- The presence of fat deposits in the thighs and abdomen;
- Decreased skin elasticity and firmness;

- General depressed state of a person;

Where can I get chocolate massage mix? The answer to this question is very simple - you can either buy a special spa-chocolate sold in massage and spa-salons, or use ordinary dark chocolate purchased in a store for a chocolate massage. In this case, you should pay special attention to the fact that chocolate should be exactly bitter, since dark chocolate mostly consists of cocoa beans - the main source of nutrients for the skin. In milk chocolate, on the contrary, there are much fewer cocoa beans, and more sugar, which is useless for the skin and the body as a whole. In addition, the mixture for chocolate massage can be prepared independently. The main ingredients in the preparation will be factory-made cocoa powder and coconut oil (walnut, sesame or almond, depending on the preferences of the patient and the desired healing effect).

The chocolate massage procedure consists of two parts. The first part of the procedure is directly a chocolate massage with the application of chocolate paste on the patient's body, and the second part of the procedure is wrapping and relaxation.

Massage of the back of the body. Chocolate massage always begins with the application of a pre-prepared (or purchased) mixture to the area of ​​​​the human body that is supposed to be affected.

The patient lies on his stomach. The mixture is applied, if possible, immediately to the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe body, and not separately. Movements during the massage should be long and smooth, directed along the blood lymph flow. It is recommended to increase the comfort of the patient before applying the massage mixture to preheat it in a water bath. In the process of applying the mixture to the body, it is possible to carry out wave-like massage movements along the spine in order to knead the muscles, which will not only relieve accumulated fatigue, but also prepare the patient's body for massage.

It is wrong to carry out a chocolate massage at a fast pace, because this procedure is performed slowly, the masseur's movements should be slow and measured. In the process of massage, unlike classical massage, the massage therapist makes movements not only through the hands, but also involves the legs and body. The smooth movements of the massage therapist will allow the patient to feel all the benefits of the procedure, which is not available with a sharp chocolate massage. Chocolate massage can be performed by a massage therapist using both hands at the same time, or with each hand separately. Movements are performed from the middle of the back towards the edges of the back, covering the entire back area, or on each side of the back separately. The main goal is to cover the maximum possible area of ​​​​the back during the massage. It is also recommended that the massage therapist carry out the weight-bearing massage by placing one hand on top of the other, which will achieve a closer contact and increase the effectiveness of the massage. Indispensable massage with weights when exposed to the area of ​​the buttocks to effectively combat the problem of cellulite.

It is very important that long smooth movements during the massage are performed by the massage therapist with the help of the legs, without excessive back tension, since any tension of the massage therapist will immediately be transferred to the patient, and the relaxing effect of the massage will be lost. The hands should be extremely relaxed.

After massaging the back area, the masseur proceeds to massage the legs. At the same time, it is recommended to tear off the hands from the patient's body only in exceptional cases, even when moving from massage of one part of the body to another, because breaking contact with the patient's body will negatively affect the overall effect of chocolate massage. Foot massage should also be done smoothly and slowly. This massage is performed at the expense of the massage therapist's legs, in its process, the weight from one leg is transferred to the other. Tilts of the body, accompanying tension in the back area, are not recommended. When massaging the legs, it is recommended to make smooth movements covering the entire body of the patient, and not just the legs themselves. During the massage, stroking movements, which form the basis of chocolate massage, are recommended to be combined with kneading. The wonderful thing is that the direction of movement of the massage therapist's hands is not strictly defined, which gives freedom of action and the ability to concentrate attention during the massage on the areas that need the most impact. The only rule is to perform the most powerful movements in the direction from bottom to top. Particular emphasis is placed on force pressure in places of lymph stagnation in order to carry out lymphatic drainage.

Chocolate massage performed not only with the help of the palms. Often a tangible effect has a massage with the help of the forearm. One of the techniques used by the massage therapist during the massage of the leg area is the “girth ring”, when the masseur, grabbing the lower part of the patient’s leg with his hands connected in the form of a ring, makes a smooth movement towards the upper leg. The hands must be connected, and contact with the patient's body must be maintained. The coverage area should be maximum, up to the transition of exposure to the front of the patient's body. Finger massage, which is widely used in classical massage, is practically not performed in chocolate massage, which is due to the large thickness of the chocolate mixture applied to the patient's body, as a result of which finger massage is not felt and is not effective.

In the process of performing a chocolate massage, slow stroking is often combined with very slow stroking, during which the hands smoothly “float” over the body. It is with very slow smooth movements that it is best to end the massage.

The duration of the massage of the back of the patient's body is from 20 to 30 minutes, after which the massage therapist proceeds to massage the front of the patient's body.

Massage of the front surface of the body, body wrap. The patient is rolled onto his back. The massage begins with the fact that the massage therapist applies the massage mixture to the patient's leg area with wide wrapping movements. The coverage area also includes the patient's feet. It should be remembered that at least one hand should touch the patient's body during the entire massage. Next, the massage mixture is applied with light smooth movements to the abdomen and chest area of ​​the patient. Movements should pass through the entire body of the patient, there should not be areas of the body not covered by the influence.

Massage of the abdomen should be carried out as carefully as possible, without the use of pressure, because the purpose of chocolate massage is not to stimulate the internal organs of a person, but to give a person pleasant sensations from the massage. Circular wrapping movements are most effective. Massage of the lymph node zone is also performed with light stroking movements without excessive pressure. The coverage during the massage of the part of the body closest to the table contributes to the patient's feeling of lightness and security. In the future, it is effective to apply the technique of stroking the patient's legs by wrapping the legs in a ring from the masseur's hands. The girth of the hands should not be hard, but soft (the masseur's fingers should not dig into the patient's skin, the masseur only gently touches the foot with the fingertips). It is also recommended to carry out prolonged kneading of the patient's feet, in combination with light stroking of the feet. Also, circular bilateral stroking of the patient's ankle is considered an excellent technique, performed alternately on each leg. It should be noted that the area around the toes is denser, therefore, in order to effectively influence this area, slightly more rigid circular movements are carried out by means of the massage therapist's fingers.

An excellent technique for massaging the patient's feet is the "entry into the fingers" technique, when the masseur's fingers are inserted between the patient's toes. The movements, as always, are performed smoothly and accurately. After that, stroking is performed on the entire area of ​​the patient's body. Particular attention is again paid to the patient's abdomen: the massage therapist strokes the abdomen from the bottom up, as well as circular stroking, carried out with gentle movements in a clockwise direction. Massage of the sides of the abdomen is performed in the direction from the bottom - up. When performing a chocolate massage, it is recommended not to forget about connecting transitions, i.e. smooth transitions from one part of the body to another. The meaning of this type of transition is that the massage therapist moves from one part of the body to the part of the body next to it, which is very important. So, while working on the leg, the massage therapist can smoothly move on to the impact on the abdomen, from the abdomen he can begin to work out the hand. But you can not make the transition, for example, from the leg immediately to the massage of the hand. This is important because the patient during the entire massage should feel a continuous contact, the massage should not turn into “jumps”. It will not be superfluous to make long smooth passages with your hands over the entire torso of the patient.

Massage of the back and front sides is approximately the same in duration - from 20 to 30 minutes, but for the patient this time flies incredibly quickly, since the chocolate massage pleasantly relaxes the patient, bringing peace of mind and harmony with it. After the patient is completely relaxed and plunged into a light pleasant sleep, the masseur performs a slight rocking of the patient's body from side to side, reminiscent of lulling. The purpose of this technique is to catch the rhythm of the patient's breathing and get into it with lulling movements. And, finally, the last method of chocolate massage is a long stroking with both hands in the direction from bottom to top at a very slow pace.

After the chocolate massage, the patient should rest for a while, feeling all the joy of the massage, after which the entire body of the patient is wrapped in a transparent film and covered with a towel. Then the patient rests, it is also recommended to turn on light relaxing music. To get the complete delight of the patient, he can be treated with a cup of hot chocolate.

In conclusion, it should be summarized that the chocolate massage procedure is truly an excellent means of combating depression and getting a person positive emotions, and is also recommended for all people who take care of their body and the condition of their skin and those who in life so lack warmth, serenity and inner peace.

This procedure is rightfully considered not only health-improving, but also capable of bringing great sensual pleasure. The main element of massage, chocolate, can be not only a delicious treat, but also a product that will improve the condition of the skin and saturate the body with various useful substances.
