Answer: (1) Effleurage techniques slide or glide over the skin with smooth, continuous motion (e.g., basic sliding effleurage and nerve strokes). (2) Petrissage techniques lift, wring, or squeeze soft tissues (e.g., basic two-handed kneading and compressions). (3) Friction techniques rub one surface over another repeatedly (e.g., superficial warming friction and deep cross-fiber friction). (4) Tapotement techniques are rapid percussive movements (e.g., hacking and cupping). (5) Vibration techniques cause oscillating, quivering, or trembling motion (e.g., fine vibration with fingertips and coarse vibration by shaking a muscle). (6) Touch without movement is defined by touch but no visible motion (e.g., passive touch and holding).
