• The maximum extensively recognized and usually used category of rub down is Swedish rubdown. The Swedish massage techniques range from mild to full of life. Swedish massage makes use of 5 types of strokes. The five primary strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (pass fiber or with the fibers) and vibration/shaking.
