What are some tips for giving a good massage?

I’m looking for helpful tips to give a good massage, or leg massage in particular. Anything would be helpful, thank you so much!

Having given a number of massages, I think I can offer a few tips.

A nicely-scented oil or cream is good, especially if the person wanting the massage is tensed up or in pain. Make sure it is warm though: Cold on warm skin can REALLY tense a person up.

Apply pressure, but don’t roll the muscle: That will cause it to knot up.

Don’t put too much pressure on the feet, if that’s where you’re starting: The bones and arches can be delicate. But holding pressure on spots up either side of the achilles’ tendon will help your legs relax.

For a back massage, rub up either side of the spine, and start from low down. That will cause the tension to more or less roll up and out.

I hope that helps!
