Any stroke that glides over the skin without attempting to move the muscle beneath. Apply firm even pressure. Effleurage strokes are usually directed toward the heart.
l Is used more than any other stroke l Usually begins and ends each treatment l Used as a bridge between many strokes l Accustoms the patient to the touch of the operator l Allows the operator to search for areas of spasms and soreness l Allows the operator to become familiar with the condition of the patient's muscles l Increases circulation to the skin and more superficial muscles
Bilateral Effleurage
Start at the lower back with one hand on each side of the spine. Go towards the upper back, all the way to the shoulders. While returning to the lower back go along the sides of the back. To give a deeper massage lean your body weight into the massage.

Care of the Hands
The hands are the most valuable tool a massage therapist has. They should be taken care and kept in a presentable manner. The fingernails should be kept short, filled and clean. The hands should be washed before and after each massage so that you don't transfer the diseases from one patient to another. The hands should be warm when you give the massage. Be careful not to do any activities that might give you a blister before you give a massage.
Would you want someone to massage you with dirty hands? Would you want to receive a massage from someone that is scratching you with their long nails?
Posture
Remember to maintain good posture while giving a massage. When your giving 3 or 4 massages a day having good posture makes a difference in the way you'll feel at the end of the day. Stand erect and have your feet spread a part shoulder length. Instead of stooping to give strokes that require you to be closer to the patient (like tapotement & petrissage) spread your legs apart more. Give a massage on a table that is the proper height for you (A good test is to stand erect, arms at your sides, and if the table is about where your palms begin then it is fine.) By following the rules of posture you will keep yourself from needing a massage at the end of the day.
Positioning of the Patient
