BEGINNER: Place and hold light pressure for 15 to 20 seconds on
tight or stiff areas. Repeat 1 to 2 times per session, or until muscle tissue
relaxes.

tight or stiff areas. Repeat 3 to 4 times per session, or until muscle tissue
relaxes.
- Do not put pressure directly onto bones.
- Do not massage areas of skin irritations or inflammation.
- If bruising or discoloring occurs, this is a sign of too much pressure
and massage should be discontinued immediately. Too much pressure
could cause damage to your tissues.
