Stroking.
As a rule, it is with this reception that any therapy session begins. When performing the reception, the palm of the masseur moves slowly and freely over the patient's skin, while the intensity of the effect is low. It is used at the beginning of the procedure and at the very end to complete it.
The main purpose of the reception is to warm up the skin and the upper surface of the muscles and prepare for a deeper and more intense effect. In addition, the technique eliminates pain syndrome, calms the nervous system, improves lymph outflow. At the same time, the work of the sebaceous glands and the respiration of the skin are activated.
Rubbing.
As a rule, the use of rubbing in massage follows stroking and involves a greater intensity of impact. It is performed with the edge of the palm, knuckles and thumbs. Rubbing can be superficial, deep, forceps-like, spiral, comb-like.
The main purpose of the reception is to affect the deep layers of the skin and muscles. It helps to dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow, as well as saturate tissues with oxygen. In addition, rubbing accelerates the processes of resorption of deposits, scars and excess fluid. The technique helps to recover from injuries and diseases of the joints, neuralgia and neuritis. Because in this way the sensitivity of the nerve endings increases.
Petrissage.
The kneading technique involves a greater intensity of impact than those described above. As a rule, it is used immediately after rubbing and performed with the surface of the palms, fingers and fingertips. The main areas of impact: back, collar area, limbs.
The purpose of kneading is to capture and knead deeply located tissues. As a result, blood circulation in the muscles improves, the outflow of lymph and blood in the veins. During the session, the mobility of tissues improves. Kneading usually takes more than half the time of the procedure.
