In one, one of the massage techniques that is most common is discussed. This is the technique of effleurage. It is the general technique used in the massage style of Swedish massage which is the most common massage therapy style.

Effluerage is conducted, mostly, with the palm of the hand making long stroking motions. Different amounts of pressure are applied depending upon the part of the body being massaged and the intent of the massage.
