Effleurage is a light, gliding stroke, using the palm of the hand. One hand follows the other in a series of rhythmic, caressing actions. The stroke has a calming and relaxing effect, and also reduces fluid congestion by encouraging the flow of both blood and lymph.

Petrissage involves lifting, pressing and rolling muscles in a movement akin to gently wringing out water from a damp towel. As one hand presses in one direction, there is a counter-pressure from the other hand which pulls in the other direction. The idea is to “milk” muscles of waste products and to stimulate circulation. The speed with which this stroke is applied can make it either calming or invigorating.
