Techniques

Effleurage – derived from the French word effleurer which translates to “gentle pressure”. It consists of continuous and smooth flowing gliding strokes to warm up the muscle tissue and enhance the relaxation experience.

Petrissage – from the word “petrir” meaning to knead.

Friction – Cross and circular fibre fiction movements help to increase blood flow and tissue mobility.

Tapotement – repeated rhythmical percussion movements to the superficial tissue. The brisk movements stimulate the nerve endings which lead to small muscular contractions, bringing about increase in muscle tone.
