Effleurage
Effleurage is a fundamental massage technique characterized by long, gentle, and smooth stroking movements. The term “Effleurage” originates from French and means “to stroke” or “to glide.” This technique is often used at the beginning and end of a massage to relax muscles, stimulate blood circulation, and provide a calming effect on the nervous system.
During Effleurage, gentle pressure is applied with the palms or fingertips, typically in the direction of the heart to support lymphatic drainage. The intensity can vary depending on the type of massage – from light and relaxing to deeper strokes for greater tissue stimulation.
Effleurage is used in various massage styles, including Swedish massage, wellness massage, and lymphatic drainage. It helps release muscle tension, prepares the body for deeper massage techniques, and creates a profound sense of relaxation and well-being.
