OPI ProSpa Massage TechniquesA masterful massage can transform the ordinary pedicure into an extraordinary experience. In fact, the massage may become the primary reason a client schedules regular manicure and pedicure appointments. And, that is a good reason not to short-change your client on this important part of the service! The OPI Massage utilizes a variety of techniques, including Effleurage, Kneading, and Acupressure.

effleurage kneadingEffleurage is the most basic of massage techniques, and is often used as a linking movement between other techniques, allowing the therapist to always maintain contact with the client as they smoothly transition. This should always be used at the beginning of a massage helps warm the body up, stimulates blood supply to the tissues worked, relaxes muscle fibers and muscular tension, spreads oil or lotion, and relaxes the client.

Kneading is a technique where the skin and underlying muscles are rotated in a circular motion, working out tension and held muscular patterns. This motion brings much needed circulation to tight areas – as a muscle is compressed, stagnant blood is forced out of the area, and new blood and lymph rushes in once the area is released. In pedicure and manicure services this technique is ideal for palms, top of forearms and bottoms of feet.

acupressureAcupressure is a form of alternative medicine that uses the fingers to gradually press key healing points in the body. When points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote circulation of blood to aid in healing.

According to the principles of reflexology (fig. a), each of the body’s organs have corresponding reflex points on the feet and hands. Applying pressure to these points increases circulation, re-energizes and reduces stress. For foot and hand massages, there are a few pressure points to focus on that can provide relief within the time constraints of a manicure or pedicure service.

Before you begin:

n do not perform massage if client is diabetic, has high blood pressure, varicose veins or phlebitis

n ask you client if they have any problems with her feet requiring special attention or consideration

n do not perform acupressure techniques on clients who are pregnant

n be sure client’s entire leg is supported during the massage, particularly the ankle and knee

n maintain contact throughout the massage

OPI ProSpa Manicure MassageProvide your clients with an unforgettable manicure service by following the OPI ProSpa Manicure Massage step by step. Customize the duration of the massage based on the level of service.

step 1: effleurageMassage hands and wrists using effleurage strokes to distribute lotion evenly. The movement is a relatively slow, smooth, continuous linear stroke using the palm of your hand. Place your fingers together relax your hands and wrists, and with sustained gentle pressure, follow the contour of the hand and arm. Support the client’s hand with one hand and stroke the top of the hand from the fingertips to elbow. Use slow continuous strokes increasing pressure slightly when moving toward the wrist. Rotate your working hand under the wrist and stroke back toward finger tips. Alternate hands while maintaining continuous contact for 6 strokes.

Most of the pressure is coming through the palm of your hand, not fingers, so keep fingers relaxed yet firm through the movement. Contact is maintained throughout the sequence, and can easily blend into another technique.

1

step 2: kneadingTo perform kneading, use thumbs, enforced fingers, heels of hands, or full hands. With a slow, rhythmic motion, press down on a muscle (directly on a bone can be very painful), rolling it away from the bone it is attached to, and then towards it. Begin kneading the palm of the hand to stimulate circulation. Using your thumbs press down into the center of the palm and with a slow rhythmic motion, roll in opposite directions toward the sides of the hand. Knead the forearm using both hands. With one hand, press your thumb to the top of the forearm and roll toward the side of the forearm while simultaneously using your fingers to knead the underside of the arm. Start at the wrist and alternate hands to move up toward the elbow and then back down to the wrists. This is a more effective way (compared to effleurage) of stimulating circulation of blood and lymph to the area and working out old tension patterns.

2

step 3: acupressureTo reduce muscle tension and relieve stress that can happen due to overuse of cell phones and lap tops, use your thumb(s) to press into the webbing between the thumb and index finger. Slowly “sink” into the pressure point and hold for approximately 10 seconds. Release slowly. Continue using acupressure to relieve stress and tension. Following the same method, apply pressure to the crease of the wrist, just inside the edge of the wrist bone and hold for 10 seconds. Release slowly and repeat on the other hand.

3

PRO TIPMuch like a baker works with dough, you can go as superficially or as deeply as the client likes, compressing, moving, and releasing the area.

PRO TIPTo perform acupressure, it is more effective if the skin is already warmed up with a massage – even a minute or two of effleurage and kneading make a difference. Going directly into acupressure can often feel uncomfortable to the client.

SERVICES | 24 MASSAGE |

OPI ProSpa Pedicure MassageProvide your clients with ultimate relaxation by following the OPI ProSpa Pedicure Massage step by step. Customize the duration of the massage based on the level of service.

1

step 1: effleurageSupport the client’s foot with one hand and stroke the middle of the calf. Place your fingers together relax your hands and wrists, and with sustained gentle pressure, follow the contour of the foot and leg. Often you want to apply more pressure while moving up the leg of the client, and a little less when moving toward the feet - this helps with blood and lymph flow. Most of the pressure is coming through the palm of your hand, not fingers, so keep fingers relaxed yet firm through the movement. Use slow continuous strokes increasing pressure slightly when moving up the top of the leg. Rotate your working hand under the leg and stroke the calf back toward the ankle. Alternate hands while maintaining continuous contact for 6 strokes. Contact is maintained throughout the sequence, and can easily blend into another technique.

2

step 2: kneadingBegin kneading the foot to stimulate circulation. Using your thumbs press down into the bottom of the foot and with a slow rhythmic motion, roll in opposite directions toward the sides of the foot. Start at the heel and move up to the ball of the foot, then reverse. Knead the calf using both hands. Place your thumbs on top of the leg to anchor your hands while simultaneously using your fingers to knead the muscle on the underside of the calf. Start at the ankle and alternate hands to move up toward the knee and then back down to the ankle.Continue for 40 seconds.

3

step 3: acupressureTo reduce muscle tension, relieve stress and provide relief for general foot pain caused by poor fitting shoes and/or high heels, place your thumb between the first and second toe behind the top knuckle. With your other hand place your thumb on the inside instep of the foot right below where a bunion would be (or is) and slowly “sink” into the pressure points. Hold for approximately 10 seconds. Release slowly. Following the same method, grip the foot and use both thumbs to apply pressure under the ball of the foot in the center, hold for 10 seconds. Release slowly and repeat on the other foot.

PRO TIPIt is common in pedicures to overuse this technique and in some salons this is the only technique used during the entire service. Make sure you use this technique as a start, transition and end – your clients will notice the difference.
