01

Effleurage: This is a technique which involves oil being applied to the area that is being concentrated on and the therapist using this to glide over the contours of your body. The therapist will usually use the palm of their hand to slide along the body, always in the direction of the heart. The pressure is of low or medium force and constantly applied. The effleurage stroke is a muscle warming technique that supports your relaxation, calms your nerves and improves the circulation of the blood, heart and lymphatic systems.

02

Cross Fiber Friction: Cross Fiber Friction massage breaks down scar tissue and remodels the tissue into more flexible, pliable, and functional, as well as healthy soft tissue. Also known as transverse friction massage, this technique is a deep tissue massage technique performed at the site of injury. The benefits can range from: Helping to break down scar tissue so injuries can heal quickly with fewer long-term side effects, immediate and long-term pain relief & the treating of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

03

Friction: The friction rub is as deep as the Swedish massage gets. By applying the pressure of the therapists weight on the flat of the palms and the pads of the fingers or forearms, the pressure is slowly released. Working on deeper tissues, the movement will be continuously sliding or alternating in circles so that the pressure is spread evenly across the tissue. Although this technique crosses the muscles, the weight is spread through the whole of the hand, unlike in a deep tissue massage where the pressures concentrated through the knuckles.

04

Vibration: The vibration technique is a gentle shaking or trembling of the flesh. This can be completed using either the hand or the fingertips. As the smaller muscles are manipulated in this way, the tension is released. This practice is usually used on the face, along the spinal column and in any other area that is bony or sensitive to firm touch.
