A few of the more common strokes and their effects include:
-
Feather stroking: soothing/sedative (may be ticklish)
Fan stroking: soothing
Circular thumb stroking: loosens tight areas
Kneading: loosens and stimulates
Skin rolling: stimulates
Compression/pressure: breaks down muscular adhesions
- Percussion: stimulates (fast); relaxes (slow)
