Body Massage: 11 Spots You Must Be Careful Of

Body Massage: 11 Spots You Must Be Careful Of

When massaging someone, you must beware of certain body areas. Some are more sensitive and thus, they are classified as danger zones. Although your intention is good, you should always know about which spots or areas to touch and not to touch.

Here's a list of areas of the body you should not massage!

Neck front

This will be your throat area. Never apply any pressure because it is equivalent to choking someone to death. At this area too, there are major arteries and nerves.

Neck sides

It might not be as sensitive as the throat area, but you still have to be careful when doing the sides.

Ear notch

It is situated below your ears and at the jawbone. Don't poke with your fingers because of the existence of facial nerves.

Eyeball

If you don't know already, you should never poke someone in their eyes!

Axilla

The axilla means the armpit. Most people feel ticklish at this area too. Besides, there are nerves, arteries and lymph glands at the armpit too. In short, don't massage the armpit.

Upper inner arm

Don't massage this area. Where is it? It is just below the armpit, the area which is between your biceps and triceps.

Elbow's ulnar notch

Remember when you hit something with your elbow? There is a nerve that cannot be pressured too hard.

Abdomen

This is where all the important organs are. This includes liver, bladder and spleen.

Lower back

Actually, you can massage most areas of the lower back, but never the kidneys. This will be the 2 sides of the lower back.

Femoral triangle

This triangle refers to your groin. You should never apply too much pressure here. Otherwise, you might cut off blood supply to the legs!

Popliteal area

This will be the back of your knee. Likewise, don't apply too much pressure here.
