Massage Movements Briefly Explained

All hands-on therapies use physical contact as the primary modality. Indeed, it is theis caring human contact that makes massage therapy unique. Here are the following movements briefly explained;

• Gliding is the practive of gliding the hands or forearm over some portion of the body with varying amounts of pressure or contact according to desired results.
• Kneading lifts, squeeze, and presses the muscle tissues.
• Friction refers to a number of massage strokes designed to manipulate soft tissue in such a way that one layer of tissue is moved over or against another.
• Vibration is a continuous trembling or shaking movements delivered by either the practitioner's hand or an electrical apparatus. Vibration may be classified as a type of friction
• Percussion is a rapid striking motion of the practitioner's hands against the surface of the body, using varying amounts of force and hand positions.

Classificaiton of Massage Movements

These are some of the movements that I use in a masssage. The different movements are divided and classified into 6 groups. Each movement the way it's used and delivered determines the quality of a massage; depending on The therapist how he/she uses this movements and when; gives each massage a unique work of art, and as we all know there are so many different types of people out there making each therapist style special and an original Masterpiece.. Here are the following Classifications;

1. Touch: ~Superficial  ~Deep
2. Gliding and Effleurage: ~Superficial ~Deep
3. Kneading movements: ~Kneading or petrissage ~Fulling  ~Skin rolling
4. Friction: ~Circular friction ~Transverse or cross-finger friction ~Compression ~Rolling ~Chucking ~Wringing ~Vibration
5. Percussion movements: ~Hacking ~Cupping ~Slapping ~Tapping ~Beating
6. Joint movements: ~Passive joint movements ~Active joint movements


    The intention with which a massage is given or a technique is applied will greatly influence its effect. Each manipulation is applied in a specific way for a particular purpose. The practice of massage becomes scientific only when the practitioner recognized the purpose and effects of each movements and adapts the treatment according to the client's condition and the desired results. 
    If you would like to experience these movements not just read about them. Contact me and i would be happy to make an appointment with you; Creating and adapting these movements according to your condition and desired results. Thank you for taking the time to read.
