What Is a Gliding Body Massage? A Gentle At-Home Guide

A gliding massage uses long, light, rhythmic strokes over oiled skin. It's the soothing style most people picture when they think of a spa massage.

How it feels

Slow and calming. The pressure is light to moderate, and the rhythm matters more than the force.

How to do it at home

  1. Warm a few drops of body oil in your hands.
  2. Start at the ankle and glide slowly up to the knee, then knee to hip.
  3. On the arms, glide from wrist to shoulder.
  4. On the stomach, use slow circles.
  5. Repeat each stroke five to ten times.

Using a tool

A gliding massager like LymphPro™ holds the stroke steady so your hands don't tire. Pair it with GlowOil™.

Safety

Keep it gentle and comfortable. Avoid broken or irritated skin. If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor first.
