26. DIFFERENT
VARIATIONS OF
EFFLUERAGE

27. One-Handed Raking
- To use the raking technique,
the fingers should be together
or apart moving in one
direction.
- The purpose of this is to check
the proper alignment of
muscles.

28. One-Handed Ironing
- A deep one-handed effleurage
often done with the forearm,
knuckle, fist or palm of the hand.
The deeper the glide the slower the
move.
- The techniques calms the nervous
system when done slowly.

29. One-Handed Circular
- It can be performed around the
shoulder, hip, knee and abdomen. It
relaxes and prepares an area for
deeper stroke.

30. Two-Handed Heart
- Performed up and down for
the back in a heart shape up
the leg or up the arm. It
increases blood and lymph
circulation and relaxes the
client.

31. Two-Handed Circular
- One hand may be placed next to
or on top of the other hand.
- This technique relieves insomnia.

32. Alternate Hand Raking
- The index and middle finger
forming the letter V may be
placed on either side of the
other without losing contact
with the client.

33. Alternate Hand (Circular/Sun Moon)
- It can be performed as one-
hand circles a region and the
other hand move behind the
first in a half circle or a
crescent shape.

effleurage, feather-light like
finger tracing over the skin used
as a finishing stroke in massage
therapy and is typically done at
the end of massaging a body
segment and at the completion
of the massage.
