Zhitface has the best answer in so far as you're going to get a quick answer to this. To elaborate on something he brought up and a couple things he didn't mention:
4.)always go from broad to smaller surfaces. Start with the palms (thenar eminence is your best tool, spread and separate muscles, move to forearm, and transition through an entire stroke from the fingers, ulna, to the elbow if you are going to use them. Youh can use the elbow to apply static pressure after you've done a few stroke s to a knot - but that is trigger point therapy, don't think of that as neuromuscular. I tend to find that the side of Palm and fingers is more than sufficient for that pointed pressure. Finally - save your thumbs. You'll have to use them to fit some crevices of the body, but 9/10 times there is a much better option that will give you a natural fit.
This is only the surface. I highly recommend reading art Riggs to begin to understand deep tissue and neuro work - this book is an easy read and has great pictures. You can only gain so much about an entire system of massage from tips here.
