4 Establish contact at the sacrum and occiput, and relax. Effleurage the whole back to apply oil, warm, and soften (3-6 times). Each effleurage of the whole back should be done from the head of the table. It should start at upper trapezius and go to the drape (include the sacrum), with a return stroke along lateral ribs and axilla, around deltoids and up to occiput.

5 While effleuraging down the back, transition to the side, and begin to pull and wring up the opposite side, up to and including the shoulder girdle. Return to the head of the table and effleurage the whole back. Repeat starting from the opposite side of the table.

6 Move to side, face up table and support client s shoulder girdle with your outside hand. Apply circular effleurage up medial to the scapula, out over the top, and down posterior axilla also effleurage out the scapula (medial to lateral). Move arm to hang over the edge (elbow at 90 ) and apply lubricant to the arms. Facing down the table, knead back of neck and upper trapezius. Facing up the table, knead deltoids and triceps. Return arm to table and full down the arm and squeeze the hand.

7 Using your down-table hand on top of the other, deep effleurage up from the low back, medial to the scapula, over the top of the shoulder, and continue down the arm and hand. Standing at the head facing down the table, compress your thumb tips into upper trapezius move the skin and superficial fascia towards the ceiling, then towards the table, with moderate pressure into the deeper layers. Work your way from base of neck to acromion process.

14 Standing at the head facing down the table, do alternating thumb circles across the erectors bilaterally down to the sacrum. Continue thumb circles to the bottom of the sacrum and cover sacrum with thumb work. Return up to the neck with a rocking, raking motion.

15 Repeat thumb circles and return, OR: Apply unilateral thumb circles lateral to spine on each side, including sacrum and iliac crest. Moving to side, apply figure eight stroke over lumbar area, sacrum, and upper gluteals. Standing at the head, apply alternating effleurage to both sides of the back.
