There are certain technologies of massage by means of a bath broom. Each of them provides for certain movements and its own order of actions. Let's get acquainted with the most popular of them.

The correct order of such installation will consist of the following actions:

• begin to work from the feet and slowly move to the head;
• To work with the hands, move from the hands to the shoulders, in the course of the movement from the feet to the head;
• It is also possible to move vice versa, and then a broom will need to be lightly beaten on the sides of the body.

Let's take a closer look at this method:

• the broom should be lifted so that it warms up;
• then it should be quickly put to the body of the steaming person and with the other hand press the object (for this you must wear a mitten) literally for 4-6 seconds;
• the beginning always comes from the feet;
• More attention should be paid to the lumbar area, neck, shoulders.

This type of massage is realized by means of sharp and tough strokes with a whisk. The amplitude should be up to 1 meter. This is one of the most efficient techniques if the bath attendant works with two whigs at the same time.

The procedure is as follows:

• After stroking and stroking, 2 brooms will need to be applied to the lumbar area and spread in 2 directions - to the head and legs;
• This method will need to be repeated about 4-5 times, and then the person should lie on his back, and the same actions will need to be performed on the other half of the body.

Let's see how to act in this massage:

• with a broom it is necessary to grasp the warmed steam, raising it to the ceiling;
• while making the strokes, the heat should be redirected towards the person you will be massaging, only slightly touching the skin;
• start the work, as in the previous cases, with the feet and move slowly to the feet, buttocks, lumbar zone and so on up to the cervical shoulder girdle.

Must be intense. Can be done in different directions.

Should take at least 3-4 minutes.

Many users who have not previously encountered bath massage with a broom, ask a reasonable question: what is the duration of such a procedure? As a rule, all bathing operations take users about 1-2 hours, but the massage takes much less time. In rare cases, it takes more than half an hour. For each of the techniques, 2 to 4 minutes are allocated.

To steam in the bath with a broom should be correct. Many users often make many mistakes in this seemingly simple matter. Let's learn more about these mistakes.

• Many people mistakenly believe that it is necessary to steam with a broom until there are characteristic red spots on the body. In fact, you can not do this. If you notice such redness, it indicates that the body has overheated and there is a violation of blood circulation. In the process of steaming the skin should be pink, and if there are spots the procedure must be stopped immediately.
• It is also a mistake that users take with them to the bath with a single broom. According to the rules there should be at least 2, for example, from oak and birch. This is the only way you can get the maximum effect of the hot steam.
• Sometimes people forget that each broom before using should be thoroughly steamed in boiling water, and then hold it in cold water just 5 minutes.
• Before you visit the steam room, you should not apply grooming cosmetics, makeup or creams. All of these compositions will inevitably clog pores. They can be applied, but only after visiting the sauna and massaging with a whisk.
• You should never steam or massage by force. It is always necessary to listen to your own body. If you find it too difficult to breathe, dizzy, or lose energy, it's best not to waste time and leave the room immediately.
• After leaving the steam room, you should not immediately go about your business - this is one of the most common mistakes. You need to wait until the pressure and with it the temperature returns to normal.
• Sometimes bath attendants are in too much of a hurry when massaging with a broom. They act hurriedly, abruptly, chaotically. In fact, these procedures should be characterized by gradualness and correct movements. Only then the massage will be the best, but not only an unpleasant and painful experience.
• It happens sometimes that massage lovers forget about time limits and ask the bath attendant to work with a whisk once and again. This should not be done. It is strongly not recommended to massage more than 25-30 minutes.
• Do not visit the steam room without a special headgear. Unfortunately, many users make this mistake by neglecting the safety rules. The lack of a headgear can cause a person to get heat stroke. If there is no felt cap, it can be constructed from a towel.
• The main mistake of bath visitors is to drink alcohol and then go to the steam room. This is a strong stress to the blood vessels. The consequences of drinking alcohol in the bath can be tragic.
• After leaving the steam room, most users try to lie down. This should not be done. It is better to walk for a while and only then lie down, sit down or take a half-sitting position. It is also not recommended to move too quickly and sharply after the steam bath and massage. Give the body a good rest, because the heart and blood vessels have already suffered a serious load.
