Getting Started:
Hold the OVA Bar comfortably in one or both hands. This tool is forgiving—your intention and pressure determine the effect. Experiment to discover what feels right for your body and goals.
For Facial Massage & Tension Release:
Use the OVA Bar with light to medium pressure, moving in upward and outward strokes across your face. Massage your cheeks, jawline, and temples. The neutral tool glides smoothly, releasing tension while you decide whether you want stimulating or calming effects based on your pressure.
For Lymphatic Drainage (Yin Effect):
Use light, gentle pressure and slow, deliberate strokes. Move from your face down your neck toward your collarbones and lymph nodes. Move along your arms toward your underarms. Move along your legs toward your groin. The light pressure creates a yin calming and draining effect that supports your body's natural detoxification.
For Cellulite & Firming (Yang Effect):
Use firm pressure and more rapid, stimulating strokes. Roll or massage over areas with cellulite (thighs, buttocks, arms) with intentional pressure. The firming technique creates a yang effect that stimulates circulation and breaks up stagnation. Consistency creates visible results over time.
For Stretch Marks:
Use medium pressure and gentle, upward strokes directly over stretch marks. The neutral tool works gradually to soften and improve the appearance. Combine with light pressure for calming effects or firm pressure for stimulation, depending on your preference.
For Body Massage:
Use the OVA Bar anywhere on your body that needs attention—neck, shoulders, back, legs. Light pressure for relaxation and drainage; firm pressure for deep tissue work and activation. The neutral nature of the tool means you're in control of the effect.
For Double-Handed Professional Work:
Hold an OVA Bar in each hand and work symmetrically across your body or your client's body. This synchronized, double-handed technique is deeply relaxing and highly effective. Use matching pressure and strokes on both sides for balanced results.
Daily Ritual:
Use the OVA Bar morning or night depending on your goal. Light pressure in the evening for drainage and relaxation; firmer pressure in the morning for activation and circulation.
Pro Tip:
The OVA Bar is your most adaptable tool. Use it to learn how pressure and technique create different effects. This understanding translates to mastery of all your multireflex tools.
