1. Nirvana Blossom. Place three fingers on the mid back next to the spine and then open out to the hips away from the spine. This is a great deep tissue technique, especially when the second hand is placed on top of the first hand, because this technique gets into the hard to access intercostals. After mastering this technique, you will get positive results with it on other regions of the body.
