Welcome to our quick and effective Shiatsu Massage tutorial for Lower Back Tension Relief! In just 8 minutes, youâll learn a series of simple movements designed to release tension in your lower back, enhance flexibility, and promote deep relaxation. Perfect for anyone seeking relief from lower back pain, hip tightness, or stress.
In this video, you’ll learn:
- Bus Driver Movement: his action helps to loosen the hip area, release tension, and enhance flexibility. It also sets a relaxed tone for the session by promoting circulation and preparing the body for deeper movement.
- Knee to Chest: Move into the first knee to chest stretch, which targets the lower back and hips. This movement alleviates tension and promotes flexibility, helping to relax the entire body.
- Happiest Baby: In this movement, your partner applies gentle pressure to the glute area while positioning your feet on their shoulders. This technique effectively releases tightness in the hips and encourages deep relaxation.
- Knee to Chest (Variation): For a deeper stretch, this variation involves placing your chest on your partnerâs legs while applying gentle pressure to their chest with your hands. It helps further release tension in the hips and lower back.
- Sacral Float: By placing your leg under your partner’s legs and crossing them, you can gently push down to lift their hips. This movement helps release tension in the sacral area and promotes overall relaxation of the lower back and pelvis.
- Butterfly Position: After the Sacral Float, transition your partner into the Butterfly Position. This opens the hips and allows for a gentle stretch in the groin and inner thighs.
- Alternating Legs: In this step, alternate your partner’s legs while internally rotating the hips. This enhances flexibility and releases tension in the hip area.
- Finishing Touches: Conclude the session with three gentle brushes along the legs to promote circulation, providing a calming and soothing finish to the massage.
These simple yet effective steps are designed for anyone, whether youâre a beginner or experienced in massage techniques. No special equipment is neededâjust your hands and a comfortable place to sit or lie down.
