Massage to Promote the Neck and Chest Region


1.  Rub the back of the neck: use the tips of the index, middle and ring fingers to push the back of the neck and shoulder, along both sides of the spinal column, from the bottom of skull to as far as you can go, about 10 times.
2.  Knead the back of the shoulder: use the middle fingertip to knead forcefully on the opposite shoulder, over and alongside the upper chest vertebra; repeat this procedure 30 times.
3.  Clap the back of the shoulder: make one hand into a half fist and clap the back of the shoulder on the opposite side, 10 times on each side.
4.  Beat the neck: make one hand into a fist and beat the middle of the back of the opposite shoulder (Gb21), 20-30 times on each side.
5.  Rotate the shoulder: the upper body is in an upright position; fully abduct the upper arms and flex the elbows, rotate the shoulders as much as possible to stimulate the inter-scapular region.

This massage helps to alleviate neck and chest problems.
