What type of movement does the friction massage technique involve?

  1. Soft continuous stroking movement

  2. Rapid shaking movement

  3. Rubbing movement, chucking, rolling, wringing

  4. Fast tapping patting movement

The correct answer is: Rubbing movement, chucking, rolling, wringing

The friction massage technique involves rubbing movement, chucking, rolling, and wringing. This technique aims to create friction on the skin, which can help increase circulation and break down adhesions in the tissues. This type of movement is more focused and intense compared to soft continuous stroking or rapid shaking movements. Fast tapping or patting movements are typically associated with tapotement techniques, which are not used in friction massage.
