Answer 2

go look at a book about it, you can pick up some strokes pretty quick. the key is use a good amount of pressure and stay off of bony landmarks such as the spine, scapula, etc. look at an anatomy book, you want to massage the muscles. fyi- lots of lovely spots in the rhomboids, you'll be acting like a pro in no time, but i do suggest you get a professional massage to know what it should feel like, and pick up some tricks.

Answer 3

It's not 1 minute, but 3 minutes, fast enough I hope.

Answer 4

Use the one minute to check out a massage book at your library and follow the instructions and examples.  Don't be afraid to use knuckles and elbows to get deeper penetration.

Answer 5

I always like it when people use the heels of their feet. It's easy for the massager and feels great for the person being massaged on. Also, instead of forcing and pushing with your feel, use your body weight.
