How to Do Shiatsu Massage : How to Do Lumbar Area Shiatsu Massage

I've moved my hands to create a lumbar stretch
here. I'm pushing away with my right hand

here, stretching out this lower-lumbar area.
It's very good if you're partner has any kind

of lower-back pain, which is very common.
Back pain is always about support, feeling

supported. Obviously physically you're supporting
yourself. If you're picking up your child,

it's all registering in your lower back. But,
it also could be an emotional support. If

you're not being supported by you...at work,
or your relationships, a lot of this manifests

itself in lower back pain. So we're slowly
working this area, and I'm using my palm and

my fingertips to slowly work above the sacrum
here. Little circles, little circles, just

opening it up a little bit here. My left hand
is more of a mothering hand, just to be centered

here over the heart chakra. Do you feel that
stretch? Uh-huh. Okay, next we'll move to

working along the spine.
