A. Introduction
Assalamualaikum
and a very good morning to all of you. My name is Nadirah and today as decided,
I am going to do a light massage as my demonstrative speech. As to why I chose
this, it is something which I am really good at. Not to boast but back at home, my
parents, after a long tiring day at workplace, will always ask for my
assistance. I usually do the
massage for about 30 minutes at minimum?
B. Tie to audience
However, the massage which I am going to show you is not
that long. It is a simpler one and you do not need to know those crucial points
such as where to press, you just do it to your own liking. A fancy name
for it is the Swedish Massage. It promotes relaxation. It relieves the
knots and the tense muscles in your body, which the main cause of it is most
probably college stuffs. This massage is
done by applying long gliding strokes or circular motion, which is very easy, I
assure you.

C. Credibility material
Why would you trust me? Let’s just say that I have been
doing this since forever, and if, you still cannot believe me, you can ask
about the effectiveness from my model later on, when I have finished my demonstrative
speech. Upon this, I would like to call her out, please.
D. Thesis and preview
Today, I will show you how to do a light massage as the
name suggest it!
Transition : Okay,
let us start!
II. Body
A. Main point 1: Rules.
1. There are certain
rules that you must follow before you start giving a massage.
2. Firstly, you must
have you, the person giving the massage and another person who will be receiving
it, my model here.
3. Secondly, you choose
between these two methods. You use either your fingertips or your palm. In my
case, the fingertips because I have small hands. I will be using the circular
motion which I will show you later. It is easier for me, the energy is focused
on the tips of my fingers thus enhancing the pressure applied. But, if you
decided to use your palm, it is okay either way. The difference is that you
focus your energy on your palm and spread it.
4. Last but not least,
you do not push too hard. Just accordingly to the preferences of the person you
are giving the massage.
Transition : Now , we
should proceed to the process. The first one is to.....
B. Main point 2
: Massage the shoulder blades.
1. You start by
massaging from the base of the neck which is here to the end of the shoulders
which is here. What I meant by using circular motion is, you do it using both
thumbs while the other fingers act as anchors to hold onto the shoulder firmly.
2. So, you start. After that,
you do it the same way but reversely. Starting from the end of the shoulders to
the base of the neck.
Transition : Next, we move on to....
C. Main point 3 :
Massage the neck.
1. For the neck, you
start from the base and go upwards, still in circular motion. You do it slowly
because the neck is more sensitive than the shoulder. You would not want to
hurt somebody accidentally right? You do it exactly like the way I show you.
2. After you reach
somewhere just below the skull which is right here, you linger there for a bit
and put a little bit more pressure than before.
3. After you deemed it
is enough, you start massaging downwards to the base of the neck again, still
in circular motion.
Transition : We have come to the last part which is.....
D. Main point 4 : Massaging
the shoulder blades again. Simply follow the same steps and we have an addition
at the end.
1. You start by
massaging from the base of the neck which is here to the end of the shoulders
which is here. Let me remind you, do it using both thumbs while the other
fingers act as anchors to hold onto the shoulder firmly.
2. So, you start. After that,
you do it the same way but reversely. Starting from the end of the shoulders to
the base of the neck.
3. Not long before it
ends, you massage the shoulder again from the base of the neck to the end of
the shoulders. However, you do not stop there. You continue massaging till the
end of your model’s hand just like this. For the hands, you do not need to do
it in circular motions, putting pressures along the hands would be sufficient.
III. Conclusion.
A. Breaklight
And that is how it
ends.
B. Summaries
What I just demonstrated was how to do a simple light massage involving only
the shoulders, neck and the hands.
C. Tie back the audience
Now
you know how to do it. After this, you can try and experiment back at college
with your friends. I guarantee that you will be surprised of how expert you are
in giving a massage.
D. Concluding memorable remarks.
Before
I end this, I would like to say thank you especially to my model for her help. Without
her, I cannot demonstrate. If you still find the result of you giving massage
to others unsatisfying, you can seek me for assistance or you can simply ask me
to give you some of my magic! Thank you for listening.
