Effleurage and Pettrissage
Effleurage is the smooth gliding over the skin. This technique can aid in the release of endorphines and many people like myself can find this smooth gliding to be the best part of the massage experience.
Pettrissage is the grasping lifting and pressing of the skin away from the bone. It can benefit blood flow and honestly, can be a little painful, but if you need it, the pain feels right.
