How to Give a Back Massage
A back massage is a fun, special gift to give someone, but you need to know the basics of how to give a good back massage before you try.

Step 2: Get the person ready

Step 3: Apply massage oil
Apply enough massage oil so your hands glide over the surface of the skin, but not too much that it’s a mess. You can always add more if you need it.
Step 4: Begin with long strokes
Begin your back massage with long, slow strokes. Apply light pressure for a few minutes to start. It will help the person relax.
