Bear Walk (Sitting)

Have the receiver sit on the ground cross legged and put the hands on the floor for support. Using the base of the palm walk up the back muscles next to the spine from the lower back to the upper back and come back down. This is a great back stretch and hip opner for the receiver. If the receiver wants to go deeper have them put the hands further on the floor and repeat.

Walk The Back

Sit behind your partner sitting comfortably on the ground. Bring your partner's arms behind and grab each other's wrists tightly. Press the muscles next to the spine with your heels. Walk up and down along the spine. Adjust your sitting position so that you can keep your arms and legs straight for the maximum leverage. Avoid flexing your feet because your shins will get tired quickly. Keep your feet relaxed. Turn your feet out ward. If it gives you more stability.

Walk The Back (Lazy Way)

Have the partner sit on the floor and lean against the table or ottoman. If it's a hard table put a cushion between the body and the table. Sit on the couch and start massaging your partner with your heels. Walk up the back next to the spine. Do not press on the spine. Always avoid the spine and massage the muscles next to the spine. Turn your feet outward for more stability. Glides your heels up the back from the lower back to the upper back. You can also circle on the back muscles. Here I have to slouch more so I can reach the upper back and focus on it. Heels are hard and very useful massage tools.
