MALU LUJAN: Okay. So we are going to just do a little work on this side of the body. So we have her laying on her left side, and we are going to work on her right side. And I am going to use a little bit oil. And you'll notice that her arm is up over her head. This right here, just her being in this position is therapeutic, because it is stretching out a part of the body that gets a little bit tensed. So I am just doing some long strokes up the length of the side and up into her arm and over to the hip. The other thing that feels wonderful is squeezing and kneading. And you can go up into somebody's armpit if they are not to ticklish. I am sorry if I am making you giggle. We are making her laugh. Okay. So that is squeezing and kneading. And sometimes where you are standing makes it easier for you to work. I find this position a little bit better for me, and you can go into the hip area and back up. And you can also work on the arms from here too. So those are some techniques to work on the side of the body.
