Finally, gently stroke your entire face with your fingers.Leg Massage: If you feel your legs lack slenderness, finger massage can help slim them. Here's how: First, place fingers on the calf muscles and massage upward or downward from the center. Second, gently twist the calf muscles with your fingers, mimicking the motion of wringing out a cloth.Step 3: Place your palms on either side of your knees, with your thumbs resting on the knees. Apply even pressure to the muscles around the thighs while massaging simultaneously.
Meanwhile, what about waist massage techniques for weight loss?
Waist Slimming Massage Methods
Stimulate waist and back acupoints: Key waist points include the Dai Meridian point (located at the top of the eleventh rib, level with the navel) and the Abdominal Clean point (positioned along the line extending downward from the nipple, 3 cm below the navel).Back acupoints include Jingmen (BL13), at the top of the twelfth rib, and Zhishi (BL14), 5 cm below the second lumbar vertebra. Use your thumb and index finger, or middle and ring fingers, to knead, pinch, and press these points and the surrounding muscles.
Massage the waist's Dai Meridian: The Dai Meridian runs along the Dai Meridian point area, marking the narrowest part of the waist. Regularly massaging this meridian effectively reduces waist fat. Use both hands to pinch, knead, press, and lift the Dai Meridian from both front and back directions.
Stimulating abdominal muscles: Applying firm pressure to the rectus abdominis and oblique muscles (located between the ribs and abdomen) can also slim the waist. Use the same techniques as for the Belt Vessel.
Always massage within your comfort level.
