What Is Cellulite Massage?

www.massage2book.com

Cellulite is a build-up of fat, body fluids and toxic residues trapped in the tissues. In order to release these trapped substances, the vessels that carry lymph and other cleansing fluids must be unclogged so that the waste materials can be flushed out. Massage helps dissolve cellulite, increasing circulation and releasing the trapped fluids and toxins. A daily cellulite massage is easy to do and produces results consistently.

There are  massage movements used to help break down cellulite: stroking, kneading, knuckling, S-formation and wringing.  Wringing, knuckling and S-formation, all forms of kneading, break down and dissolve the cellulite nodes. It is the deep stroking, used at the end of each session, which helps send the wastes loosened by kneading on their way through the system and out of the body. If the deep stroking is omitted or neglected, the value of the entire massage is lost. Light stroking is a long, fluid motion that readies the area for the rest of the massage. 

Knuckling is a crushing movement done in a circular direction with fingers curled so that the knuckles press the skin. If your cellulite is the firm or solid variety, this step should follow light stroking as you will not be able to knead solid cellulite. Deep stroking ends every massage. It is a heavy stroking movement, at full pressure, going in the direction of the heart. This increases blood and lymph circulation, relieves congestion and speeds removal of waste matter from the tissues.
