Describe effleurage and when would it be used?
Effleurage: Gliding strokes with the palms, thumbs and/or fingertips
http://physioworks.com.au/FAQRetrieve.aspx?ID=40342
by a linking movement therapist contact to client
while smoothly transferring from one movement
or area of the body to the next. (can't do in contra-indicated )
A slow, smoothly movement and stroke using
the flat of the hand. The fingers hold together and
moulded to the contour of client body. The fingers preceed
the palm of the hand as ist is moved along the body, and
they do apply some pressure by palm of the hand of therapist
The amount of pressure differ between the outward and return strokes - more pressure applied toward heart.
The speed of motion remain steady throughout the sequence
The movement is repeated several times over the same area on the body include: relaxation, stimulating the nerves, the blood supply, cleansing the skin, relaxing muscle fibres, reducing muscle tension.

Describe frictions and when would it be used?
Cross-fiber friction is friction that goes against the direction of the muscle fibers, it is used often in Sports Massage. The benefits of friction are to address a joint, to reduce swelling, to bring blood to the areas of dry, stringy muscles and to rub soreness away.
touchofhealthmassage.com/swedish.shtml
Friction massage is typically done using the ball of the thumb or a pointed object. It is a deep pressure massage done in small circular movements to penetrate deep tissues. The technique involves pressing on the tissue and rubbing it back and forth over the underlying muscle. This helps loosen knots in muscles, increases blood flow and relieves pain. A common example is massaging the muscles on either side of the spine.
This deep tissue massage is good for relieving very tired or sore muscles. As a result, it is often used with athletes after a competition.
Do not use this technique over the kidneys or the back of the knee. If you have questions, always consult a physician before using.

Describe kneading and when would it be used?Kneading can be performed in different ways and is described by the part of a hand used to accomplish the massage, eg thumb kneading and palm kneading. The pressure used must vary according to the purpose of the massage and the bulk of the tissues under treatment. The rhythm and rate of the movement are equally important as the pressure is applied intermittently.

Describe petrissage and when would it be used
Petrissage: Kneading movements with the hands, thumbs and/or fingers
A m technique in the group of petrissage movements
involve compressing soft tissues (such as skin and muscle tissue) against each other and against the underlying bones
A circular technique by which the skin and its underlying structures are moved in a circular rotating motion on the underlying structures (e.g. of muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones). Tissue is lifted and rolled away from the bone, and then back towards the bone with a squeezing compressive action
using different parts of the therapists hand and fingers depending on the area of the body that is being kneaded.
Other variations on this technique also depend on the area that is being worked
Petrissage movement such as kneading should not be applied in:
any inflamed areas (appendicitis)
in cases of hernia
during pregnancy, or
intensively over recent muscle strains or scars.

Describe longitudinal gliding strokes and when would it be used?
Longitudinal gliding is a basic but effective massage technique administered in the direction of the blood flow. It aids the fluid dispersion from the injury site, and thus helps reduce inflammation and swelling. It is also very useful in relaxing tight muscles.
http://physioworks.com.au/FAQRetrieve.aspx?ID=40342
Describe compressions and when would it be used
Compression Massage
Rhythmic compression into muscles used to create a deep hyperaemia and softening effect in the tissues. It is generally used as a warm-up for deeper, more specific massage work. Sports massage utilises compression massage.

Describe tapotement and when would it be used
is and equivalent term to percussion but more technical include:
cupping
hacking
plucking
pounding
pummelling and
tapping
Tapotement movements may be applied to the fleshy parts of the body, e.g buttocks, but are movements should not be used as indicated below:
not directly over bony pertuberances
not over surface (superficial) nerves
not over paralysed muscles
not during pregnancy
A tapotement movement usually takes the form of rapid movements, from the wrists in which the body is struck with soft blows from each hand alternately. The differences between the percussion techniques listed above includes the part of therapist's hands used to strike the client and the action used
Tapotement movements are generally performed for relatively short but eve sequences/durations over specific areas of the body. They may then be continued over an adjacent area or smoothly followed by a different tapotement techniques or other m manipulation. These movement hard or aggressive or continued for too long in one area because to do so may not be comfortable for the client and stimulate the skin, muscles or nerves in that area.
Tapotement can stimulating the skin or muscle reflexes. However, these techniques are taught as part of courses in Swedish m and may be omitted altogether from some holistic and aromatherapy m routines. Therapists generally select techniques appropriate to achieve the purpose of any particular treatment, as discussed during the consultation preceeding the treatment.

Describe vibrations and when would it be used?
Vibration: Oscillatory movements that shake or vibrate the body Vibrations are a m technique in which tissues of the body are pressed and released in an 'up' and 'down' movement. This often takes the form of a fine trembling movement applied using the palmar surfaces or just some of the finger of the finger tips of either or both hands
This is not one of the most common m movements
The effects of m vibrations can include:
soothing irritated nerves
loosening scar tissue
relaxing muscles in the forearm
stimulatin circulaion (e.g. systemic blood circulation, also circulation in animals)
stimulating glandular activity
The specific benefits of the m technique of vibrations depend on where on the body they are applied
