The breasts of a woman are the symbol of maturity and the ability to nurse a child. It can also affect the confidence and status of a woman in the society base on its size and contour. And because of that, many women are becoming engulfed with the idea of having a good sized bust which is firm for that great sex appeal. Due to this mentality, cosmetic surgery is fast becoming a trend in the business society today.

Massage therapy is perhaps the longest known and used treatment today with the benefits and effects that are similar to the other procedures done for the improvement of the health and physique of a patient. Breast massage is a form of therapeutic massage used mainly for the purpose of improving the health and figure of the breasts. The technique dates back in the ancient times as recorded in documents in the Ayurveda. The ancient people of India and some Asian countries were using the therapy to improve their breast shape and firmness.

Although firm breasts can be acquired with cosmetic surgeries, many women today are still more concerned with the side effects technology can bring to the health. Massage therapy on the breasts can be done in a massage spa or health center. Professional massage therapists are trained to perform therapy sessions related to the treatment and improvement of the breasts. Due to the sensitivity of that area, light massage and gentle motions are used in order to do well instead of damaging the soft and delicate tissues of the breasts. The therapy is effective in making them firmer by improving the health of the Cooper’s ligament. However, in case the patient is uncomfortable with the idea of her breasts being massaged by another person, she can always do the massage therapy on her own. The massage procedure is quite simple to follow and only uses basic massage gliding strokes that are easy to perform.

During the massage therapy, either performed by a therapist or by the patient herself, the chest area should be clean and dry before the application of lubricants such as creams, lotions or massage oil. The mediums used on the skin should be hypoallergenic to avoid causing allergies and irritations especially if the person has sensitive skin type. The massage strokes are generally done with the patient sitting or lying down on a massage table. The massage is done by using the palm and fingers to perform the light massage. The massage begins with the gentle kneading of the breasts while being lifted from the chest. The next step is to work on the fibers of the breasts by scooping them using the fingertips in the lightest clockwise and counterclockwise procedure. Avoid exerting too much pressure to prevent damaging the delicate tissues. Finally, the breast is massaged with the fingertips massaging from the center towards the side in a gentle motion. Repeat all the steps one last time with the same gentle pressure before ending the therapy session. Water therapy is also advisable after a breast massage to help aid the lymphatic flow of the body.
