MASSAGE A FRICTION.
For my own part, I cannot see the use of this expression, as
the movement is certainly a kneading one, and thus only a
modification of petrissage.
The movement is the same as petrissage, with the thumb
alone, or with one or more of the fingers, but they are put at a
greater—generally right—angle towards the part worked upon
Fig. 18.
(fig. 18); the circular or elliptical movement is smaller, and the
pressure more equal throughout, as we wish simply by mechanical
force to reduce thickenings and depositions, Effleurage follows
on it, or is given alternately with the friction.
Massage friction is chiefly had recourse to for organized
exudations or hardened depositions, which we find round joints,
such as the ankle, wrist, knee, etc., and for thickening of
tendons.
