 1. Warm a little oil in your hands. Then with one hand behind the other, smooth the oil on to the front of the leg, starting at the top of the foot and working upto the knee. This movement distributes the oil and soothes and relaxes the whole area.
2. Rub across the front of the leg using both hands to create frictions. This increases the blood circulation to the area and reduces aches and pains.
3. Lift the leg up so the knee is bent. Squeeze and relax rhythmically down the muscles of the calf from knee to ankle. Repeat several times. Put the leg down.
4. Work around the kneecap in little circular motions with both hands. Be careful not to use too much pressure.
5. Now using your thumbs gently slide them around each side of the kneecap.
6. Stretch out your thumbs front your fingers to create an arch. Sweep over the whole knee using alternate hands several times.
7. Now wrap up the lower leg and proceed to the thigh.
