massage jaw

- Work your way down under the check bones, loosen your jaw and now using all your fingers massage the jaw muscles.

massage neck

- Now slide your hands around to the back of your head at the base. Spread your fingers and thumbs as wide as possible and massage the muscles at the base of the neck in small circular motions.
- Continue your head massage up the back of your head, over the top then back across the sides and don’t forget to do behind the ears.
- Using your thumb and index finger, massage the entire ear. Concentrate on the lobe area to relieve sinusitis and stress headaches. Pull the sides of your ears outward and gently up and down and with your index finger press, rotate and release on the tender spot next to your ear where the lobe attaches to your head. Do both ears alternately 10 times.
