Effleurage

Effleurage is the classic opening movement in Swedish and holistic massage, which the therapist uses to acclimatise their client’s body for the treatment.  

 

Effleurage is characterised by its smooth flowing movements of light pressure, concentrating on the skin and the superficial level.
