Describe an abdominal massage specifying the direction of application as well as specific techniques

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Abdominal massage is performed in a clockwise direction. Start by applying lubricant to the area with effleurage moving clockwise. Follow with fingertip vibration in the same pattern. Apply gentle undulating compression of the area with the palm of the hand. Follow with circular effleurage, then horizontal stroking around the waist (between lower ribs and pelvis), and finish with passive touch with the palm of the hand on the belly.
