You should avoid massaging the front of the neck, specifically the sides of the throat.
Here's why:
- Sensitive Area: The front of the neck houses critical structures like the carotid arteries and jugular veins.
- Carotid Arteries: These arteries supply blood to the brain. Applying pressure could potentially disrupt blood flow.
- Jugular Veins: These veins carry blood back to the heart. Compressing them can impede blood flow to the heart.
- Potential Risks: Applying pressure to these areas can be dangerous.
Therefore, focus massage techniques on the back and sides of the neck, avoiding the sensitive areas in the front.
