What is Efflerage?

  1. Deep tissue massage

  2. Rapid movement

  3. Light continuous stroking with no pressure

  4. Rhythmic tapping

The correct answer is: Light continuous stroking with no pressure

Effleurage is a massage technique that involves light continuous stroking with no pressure. It is typically used as a relaxing and soothing movement at the beginning and end of a massage. Option A, deep tissue massage, involves deeper pressure and is used for targeting deeper muscle layers. Option B, rapid movement, is not an accurate description of effleurage as it involves slow, gentle strokes. Option D, rhythmic tapping, is a different technique called tapotement, which involves a series of light, quick taps used to invigorate the muscles.
