Which massage technique is characterized by soft, continuous stroking movements?

  1. Effleurage

  2. Petrissage

  3. Tapotement

  4. Vibration

The correct answer is: Effleurage

Effleurage is the correct answer because it is the massage technique characterized by soft, continuous stroking movements. This technique involves using the fingertips or palms to glide over the skin in a rhythmic and gentle manner. Effleurage is commonly used at the beginning and end of a massage session to relax the client and warm up the muscles. Petrissage involves kneading and squeezing the muscles, Tapotement consists of rhythmic tapping or percussion movements, and Vibration involves shaking or vibrating movements. While these techniques have their own benefits, they are not characterized by the soft, continuous stroking movements that define effleurage.
