There are five specialized techniques used during the therapy:
The Effleurage is the first step into every massage session. The word comes from the French and means translated “ touch volatilely “. This handle is used to distribute massage and relaxation. In petrisage (kneading) the skin and muscles are grasped and kneaded with both hands, which relieves tension and improves blood circulation.
With friction, circular movements are performed with the fingertips specifically on the muscle groups to be treated. This technique is extremely powerful and effective in reducing contractions.
With tapotement (tapping), the edges of the hand, the flat hand or even the fingers are used to make percussive movements. This stimulates the blood circulation in the tissue. The vibration (vibration) has a loosening and cramping effect. Here the masseur places his fingertips on the patient's skin and causes a muscle tremor.
This treatment time is designed for full-body treatment, although pain or sensation may be targeted to specific points in the body it is all connected and thus is a disservice to avoid other areas of the body.
