According to the Mayo Clinic, doctors have used prostate massage for years to relieve the symptoms of prostatitis. Some men also use prostate massage as a sexual technique to achieve prolonged and intense orgasms. There are several techniques for prostate massage, including internal and external massage and assisted massage--with a device. No matter what the reason or method, it's important to do the massage correctly to avoid injury or damage to the prostate.
Internal Massage
Wash your hands before the massage, and trim your fingernails to avoid scratching the delicate rectal tissues. Void your bladder and bowels beforehand. During the massage, wear close-fitting rubber gloves and use a water-based lubricant. Rubber gloves are more sanitary and cause less friction than bare fingers. Lie in a position that is comfortable for you and allows easy access to your prostate. For some, lying prone with the knees drawn up works well. Other men have success working from a side-lying position, or on their knees. Insert your finger into your anus slowly, and allow the muscles to adjust. Do not rush the process, as this may cause discomfort. Locate the prostate by crooking your finger toward the front wall of the abdomen. The prostate should feel like a walnut-size ball. The center of the prostate is very sensitive, so massage only the sides of the organ. During the massage, you may experience an erection and even ejaculation--both responses are perfectly natural. Be sure to relax and breathe.
External Massage
Many men are uncomfortable with the thought of internal prostate massage and may prefer the external method. As with the internal massage, wash your hands and trim your nails beforehand. You can access the prostate through the perineum, the strip of skin between the scrotum and anus. The prostate and the perineum are both very sensitive, so press gently and use the pads of your fingers, not the tips. There is a small "seam" that runs the length of the perineum. Use this as your guideline and move your fingers, back and forth, over the seam. If you feel pain or discomfort, decrease the pressure. You may experience an erection or ejaculation, both of which are normal responses.
Assisted Massage
There are prostate massage devices on the market. The nice thing about these devices is that many are hands-free--a great benefit for those who have trouble reaching their anus or perineum. The Aneros is an internal device that uses the sphincter muscles to massage the prostate. The Prostate Cradle is an external device that massages the perineum. Men have also used pencils and rounded drumsticks; however, these items are not designed to go inside the human body and may cause damage. If you are considering using an aid, use one that is specifically designed for prostate massage.
While ayurvedic massage therapy does not generally provide a complete therapeutic cure, it does help the organism to receive nutrient material from within the body and to expel toxins. Certain ailments related to the muscles, ligaments and nervous system can be completely healed through good ayurvedic massage therapy. In diseases caused by deranged vata, massage therapy can also be the only remedy. In diseases caused by deranged pitta and kapha, ayurvedic massage therapy compliments other healing methods.
In ayurvedic massage therapy, the practisioner mostly works with the knowledge of the marmas or indian pressure points.
Ayurvedic massage therapy is an ideal remedy for pain. The figure below show parts of the head as they relate to other body parts and/or symptoms of diseases :
Tension and infections of the gums and teeth.
Overacidity (pain of the eyeball).
Gastritis (pain of the eye socket).
Inflammation of the stomach.
Ulcers
Disorders of the intestines.
Disorders of the fallopian tubes.
Kidney disorders.
Disorders of urinary tract.
Neuralgia.
Formation of cataract.
Disorders of the brain and the spinal nerves.
Ayurvedic massage therapy on these areas can at the least help the rest of the medical treatment to succeed.
Ayurvedic massage therapy can be a real cure in case of arthritis, rheumatism, neurasthenia, high or low blood pressure, sciatica, paralysis, polio and insomnia. In all these cases, the massage practisioner should however also prescribe specific medication, changes in daily habits, excercises, etc..
In ayurvedic massage, massage tables are rarely used. Instead of using a massage table, the massage practitioners create a massage mat, usually by placing a reed mat upon an indian-style futon, a cotton mattress. The massage mat made of reeds prevents oil from dripping upon the futon below. A massage cushion is also rarely used - the head is usually not supported. Massage chairs can be used for massages given in the sitting position (shoulders, arms, haed) in case patients are not comfortable in a cross-legged sitting position on the massage bed.

I had been battling a cold off and on all winter. Like all mankind, I hate going to the doctor, so I decided to see what traditional Chinese massage could do for me.
With cupping, the practitioner uses various shaped cups that suction onto the back, drawing out the body’s toxins. The cups are left on for about twenty minutes. I was amazed to see that my upper back, shoulders and arms seemed to be where my cold – and stress – was centered. After a few days, the bruises were gone and admittedly, my cold seemed to lessen in degree, but not vanish entirely. Perhaps a few more trips to the spa are in order...
Definition:
Placement of small jars or cups on the skin. A vacuum is created traditionally by inserting a burning cotton ball into the jar, waiting for it the flame to die – meaning all air is used up – an quickly placing it on the skin. Modern cups are equipped with a device where the therapist pumps the air out after the cup is placed on the back.
Cures:
Cupping is used to cure the common cold, flu, stomach ailments and rheumatism.
Technique:
The treatment is best when combined with a traditional Chinese or oil massage. After the body is relaxed, the cups are placed at different points along the shoulders, upper arms and down the back on either side of the spine.
What Does It Feel Like?:
When the cups are put on your back there is a tingly sensation as well as a general tightness as the skin is pulled into the vacuum created by the cup. After the first few seconds, there is virtually no pain at all and when the cups are released, there is a lovely relaxing sensation on the skin. Be warned, it looks much worse – anyone who sees your back will think you submitted yourself to some kind of Dark Ages torture. The circular bruising can be a bit tender where the stress points are, but the tenderness does not last and the bruises subside in a few days.
Where to Get the Treatment:
Traditional Chinese medical and massage clinics offer Cupping. Ask your hotel concierge where you might be able to have the treatment while you’re in China. Some hotel spas may even offer it.
Lie the partner on their belly on a firm, comfortable surface (see diagrams below). Make sure you can reach their whole back without straining your own.
Back Massage Technique, Tip 1: Whole Hand Effleurage
Warm the massage oil in your hands, and apply a modest amount (see tips, above ) with whole hand "effleurage" (definition - smooth rhythmic stroking): Use the whole surface of both hands (see diagram). Stroke reasonably firmly upwards from the lower back all the way up to the neck, then (gentler pressure), circle around and back to the lower back region (5 to 10 minutes).
Back Massage Technique, Tip 2: Effleurage using Heel of the Hand
There is a smaller area of contact, so the pressure is deeper. Both hands work in circles - start at the lower back. Move in a circle, first outward, then upward and return to the center. Gradually progress to the upper back (5 minutes).
Back Massage Technique, Tip 3: Effleurage using reinforced Fingers
(Smaller area of contact, so deeper again - see diagram). Stand on the opposite side to the one that you are working on. I suggest you stand on the right side first. Push with the flats of your fingers (one hand on top of the other) away from the center line, then glide back toward the spine. Start at the lower back, and work up to the upper back (five minutes).
Back Massage Technique, Tip 4: Stripping, using the Reinforced thumb
Glide with deep sustained pressure up the full length of the "sausage shaped" muscles either side of the spine (see diagram). Back off the pressure a little as you cover the neck. Move slowly and deliberately, feeling for knots or sensitive spots as you glide from lower to upper back. Three times each side; alternate with a couple of minutes of effleurage (techniques one to three above), and repeat the stripping.
Back Massage Technique, Tip 5: Frictions, using the Reinforced Middle Finger:
Firm deep movements either side of each spinous process. Start to the side of the lower spine and move upward. Apply 5 frictions at each spot - more if over a sore spot.
Back Massage Technique 6: "Effleurage" using Forearms
Apply firm downwards pressure (see diagram), and move the arm closest to the head up to just below the shoulder blades. 6 strokes. For the first stroke, be aware of the possibility of lower back pain
Back Massage Technique, Tip 7: Trigger point release using sustained pressure of the of the reinforced thumb.
Let the patient's pain be your guide. Place your thumb over any tender spots or knots that your patient may have told you about or that you may have felt, and press firmly and with increasing pressure thus: Gradually increase the pressure until the pain is 6 or 7 on a scale of one to ten. Hold that pressure until the pain lowers to about 4/10 (takes about 5 seconds). Immediately (don't stop the pressure), increase again until the pain is 6 to 7 on the scale of 10, and again hold until the pain subsides to 4/10. Repeat step two. This is painful, but you can't do much harm to the patient - quite the reverse: muscle and back pain (upper or lower)may miraculously disappear. Your thumb is more likely to suffer, so make sure that you back it up with the fingers of the other hand, and after each trigger point release, give your thumb a bit of massage too.
Back Massage Technique, Tip 8: Finishing with Effleurage
Apply effleurage (stroking moves) with supported fingers (technique 3 above), then effleurage with the heel of the hand (technique 2 above), then full handed effleurage (technique 1 above). This will enhance the good that you have done with the stripping and trigger point release. Then leave the patient quiet for a few minutes.
Patient Advice:
For the five days after the massage, encourage the patient not to sit, stand still or run, for longer than half an hour at a time; but rather to take a short walking break, and to sip water frequently.

So long as you have an the help of an understanding partner who will give you good feedback, you can quickly learn to apply therapeutic back massage techniques (Swedish Massage: Effleurage and Stripping, Trigger Point Release) that rival those of massage experts.
Required Equipment for Therapeutic Back Massage:
Warm, quiet, relaxed environment.
Firm comfortable surface such as a (firm) bed, massage table or floor mat.
Massage oil decreases the friction created on the skin and prevents the pulling of hairs. Don't use too much: The less oil, the greater the friction and the deeper the pressure.
Use slower movements for a soothing or calming response.
When applying pressure with finger or thumb, provide support with the other fingers and thumbs. Otherwise you will wear your thumbs out!
Massage Patient Comfort:
If the patient is uncomfortable in the lower back, ankles, neck or shoulders, place cushions as required under the whole length of the torso, and/or under the ankles, the shoulders, or the side of the head (diagram right). In pregnancy, the patient can lie on her side. Do not use the massage techniques in this article during pregnancy (not gentle enough). Try the following article at 101lifestyle.com : Massage In Pregnancy: A Step by Step Guide
Cover any parts of the body not being worked on with a warm towel.
Pour the massage oil onto your hands first, and then apply (too cold otherwise!) Once the massage is started, keep a hand on the person at all times, so that there are no surprises.
Avoid direct pressure on bony processes.
(Important!) - Ask the patient for feedback: Are you warm enough? Are you comfortable? How's that feel?
Massage Warnings:
Minimal direct pressure on bony processes.
Avoid broken skin, blisters or areas of possible infection.
