The advantages are several; it is available at all times ready to be used for healing and karakia if you want to progress in romiromi.</div> <bR> <div> LEARNING</div> <div> Healing does not have to be confined to the indoors.  </div> <bR> <div> ROMIROMI TABLES</div> <div> If the table is too low, you are likely to finish up with a sore back; if it is too high, you cannot give an effective romiromi. </div> <bR> <div> PREPARATION</div> <div> The following strokes are some of the basic movements in romiromi.</div> <bR> <div> EFFLEURAGE     Light stroking            -</div> <div>                Deep stroking     -</div> <bR> <div> PERTISSAGE     Kneading            -</div> <div>                Picking up            -</div> <div>                Rolling                 -     </div> <div>                Pinching            -</div> <div>                Plucking            -</div> <bR> <div> TAPOTEMENT     Clapping            -</div> <div>                Beating            -</div> <div>                Tapping            -</div> <div>                Hacking            -</div> <div>                Pressure points      -</div> <div>                Rotation                 -</div> <bR> <div> MASSAGE ROUTINES</div> <div> Where to start with romiromi -

descending colon.</div> <bR> <div> <B>REMARKS</B></div> <bR> <div> Advise your turoro not to eat a large meal before romiromi.  An empty bladder is to be preferred for obvious reasons.  If the abdominal muscles are tense, lift the legs slightly by placing a pillow under the knees.</div> <bR> <div> <B>NOTES</B></div> <bR> <div> Laughing provides a splendid internal romiromi.  All the internal organs benefit by it and so do the flabby muscles of the abdomen.  Tension leaves the body as if by magic.  There is no doubt about it: Having a good laugh is a splendid medicine for everyone.</div> <bR> <div> <B>TE UMA (CHEST/BREAST)</B></div> <bR> <div> Females   -  Do not romiromi.  Explanation may be required.</div> <bR> <div> Males   -   Two hands to do criss cross motions.  Do not touch nipples.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>RINGARINGA (ARMS)</B></div> <bR> <div> Divide into two areas.</div> <bR> <div> <B>STROKES</B></div> <bR> <div> -
