CHEST

Massaging the chest has so many nice benefits. Firstly, it is the massage nearest to the heart and lungs encouraging relaxation, blood circulation and oxygen absorption. The techniques are special as they relate directly in name and effect to the heart and the flow of bodily fluids. The heart technique places the shape of the heart on the chest and provides such a beautiful visual. The kiss technique places an X (for a kiss) on the chest and relieves muscle tightness around shoulders that can be caused by tightness in the lungs and chest due to crying or laughing. These techniques support ease of breathing, healthy posture and a healthy circulation of blood and lymph supporting the immune system.

When massaging children, if the breasts are beginning to develop, you can start at the diaphragm along the middle sternum and up toward the shoulders and down the sides, back down to the diaphragm. Kiss technique can also be from the side of diaphragm towards the middle sternum pathway up toward the opposite shoulder.
