Learning Self-Massage Tachniques

Does your wife have a birthday coming up? If that's the case, you are smart to be thinking of what you will do to make it a very special day. Maybe you learned that one year when you inadvertently forgot your wife's birthday. Or, maybe somebody like your mother or your aunt has drilled into you that wives love special treatment on their birthdays.

Do you already have your wife's birthday planned? It might be that you are still looking for ideas to make her day a lovely and memorable one. If that's the case, from arranging for massage therapy services to planning an additional gift, here are some ideas that might help you.

​Massage Therapy Services - If you have had a massage in the past, you already know how unbelievably wonderful they are. If you haven't had a massage, just know that a gift of massage therapy will be one of the nicest gifts you will ever give your wife.

When she goes to the facility where she'll get her massage, she will be greeted cordially and then she might fill out a questionnaire that will help the massage therapist know what kind of massage would be best for her. Then she'll be led to a small room where there will probably be soft lighting and soothing music already playing. The therapist will more than likely ask your wife if she wants a relaxation massage or a massage to relieve specific aches in her muscles. 

Ahead of time, find out if there are specialty massages. For example, your wife might love a hot rock massage. No matter the type of massage your wife gets, it is likely that therapeutic oils will be used in the massage. For example, lavender oil might be used to help her to relax.

An Additional Gift - Remember that you are focusing on pampering your wife on her birthday. However, you should help her to see that you want her to feel special every single day of the year. For example, you can give her a coupon book that promises you'll give her a foot rub anytime she's extra tired. Give her hand and body lotions that have nutrients in them to soften and heal her skin. 

Of course, most women also love something to open on their birthday, right? With that in mind, consider giving your wife a book of poetry, a brand new pillow, and a soft, luxurious throw.
