Massage Strokes
Body massage video & manual $9.95A competent masseuse should use ALL of the following 7 massage strokes so that you fully benefit from her treatment.
It is extremely difficult to verbally explain how a stroke is performed.
If interested in learning the following (or educating your therapist), please refer to our Professional Massage Film or place your order immediately using the link provided.
Massage Stroke 1: Petrissage
The ball of the thumbs are used for this stroke.
- Localized increase in blood flow – Kneading is an even better stroke than Petrissage for this.
- De-congestive – Kneading best in this category but also Cupping
- Aids the interchange of tissue fluids – Kneading is good for this too
- Helps break down adipose tissue – Kneading best
- Soothes
contracted muscle fibres, releases tension and removes adhesions /
nodules – Kneading best in this category then Petrissage

Massage Stroke 2- Effleurage
The most common stroke practised by all massage therapists.
- Movement is made using the flat of the hands pushing blood towards the heart. Unfortunately, many masseuses Effleurage moving in opposite direction to the heart, and they go against natural blood circulation
- Speeds up venous and lymph flow
- Helps induce a sense of euphoria and well-being in the patient
- Relaxing
- Familiarizes the client with the therapist’s hands
- Aids desquamation (removal of dead skin cells)
- Preheats before deeper movements

Massage Stroke 6 - Hacking
This is the most incorrectly performed stroke of all. Most therapist close their fingers to execute this stroke which has nothing to do with hacking and is more in line with the James Bond kill him type of stroke.
When performed properly this strokes sounds a bit like rain falling.
- Improves the tone of muscular tissues
- Is performed on large muscles with a bone immediately underneath

Stroke 7 - Cupping
This is performed with cupped hands contacting the client's body. It is seldom used by therapists which is a shame as its properties are:
- Sucks the blood to the surface of the skin and creates hyperaemia
- Good for the skin
- Good for peripheral nerve endings and subcutaneous tissues
- When done properly, it should sound like a horse trotting
