Massage techniques

1) Effleurage
* Long gentle strokes
* Slow, continuous, smooth, strokes
* Using a flat hand often with fingers interlocked
* Contact is maintained
* Many benefits include:
* Warms up the muscle
* Stimulating the nerves in the tissues worked
* Stimulating blood supply to the tissues worked

* Relaxing muscle fibres
* Reducing muscle tension
2) Petrissage
* Compressing soft tissue against each other or other structures around
* Slow and rhythmic movements using one or both hands
* Kneading, wringing, lifting and rolling
* Many benefits include:

* Improving muscle tone
* Improving the elimination of waste products from tissues, and
* The breakdown of adipose tissue

3) Stripping
* Performed after and apart of petrissage
* Using slow deep movements going along the muscle
* Finding tender areas of the muscle
* Can be performed with fingers, thumps, elbow or arm
* Circular frictions and transverse friction
* Gradual increase in pressure
* Can be used post injury, on scar tissue or to treat acute pain
* Often used on muscles, tendons and fascia
