There are seven major methods of controls in back rub and these are: (1) touch, (2) effleurage (stocking), (3) friction (scouring), (4) petrissage (working), (5) tapotement (percussion), (6) vibration (shaking or trembling), and (7) joint development.
Other flexibility-enhancing techniques

Massage decreases the afferent excitability of the α-motoneurons. A study from our laboratory found that both tapotement and pettrisage massage (41), as well as roller massage techniques, attenuated the Hoffmann (H)-reflex to muscle action potential (M)-wave ratio. Normalizing the H-reflex to the M-wave is an important technical procedure to ensure that any changes in the H-reflex are not due to alterations in the muscle’s membrane action potential, but are actually due to changes in the afferent excitability of the motoneuron. The suppression of the spinal reflex excitability with the H-reflex may be attributed to decreased α-motoneuron excitability and/or increased presynaptic inhibition. A number of other studies have reported H-reflex inhibition with stretching (42–46) as well as massage (47,48). Massage has suppressed the H-reflex by 40–90% in these studies.
Types of Raw Incense

Eucalyptus oils and the branches are also used often in steam and dry air saunas. The eucalyptus oils are either placed over the rocks, or may be used in a tapotement treatment in which eucalyptus branches are tapped (or beaten) over the body. In Russia, it is quite common to find in the bathhouses a ritual in which people take turns beating each other with eucalyptus branches. On occasion, eucalyptus leaves are also used in sweat lodges by Native Americans for treating a fever (Okugawa et al., 1996).
The role of neurasthenia in the formation of the physiotherapy profession
Published in Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2021
With the popularity of physical therapies came the problem of the quality of the therapist, and a number of commentators expressed concerns about the training and standards of the masseuses employed, as the Lancet argued in an Editorial (1895) review of Symons Eccles new text The Practice of Massage: It is, moreover, clear that is is not possible, even with such detailed description as are here given of the methods of “effluerage,” “pétrissage,” “tapotement,” “vibration,” and “massage à friction” to convey to the learner the more or less delicate differences of manipulation that can be imparted by practical demonstration, whilst it is also obvious that the practice, to be thorough and effective, demands no little dexterity and endurance.

In addition to traditional rehabilitation interventions, a high proportion of children with DD also receive complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).7,8 Among CAM, massage is one of the most non-invasive, inexpensive, convenient, and easily achieved interventions. It is believed that massage intervention can improve the health and well-being of children through various types of touch, including passive touch, effleurage, petrissage, friction, and tapotement on the face and body.9

The included studies used different types of massage intervention approaches, including Swedish massage [17], foot reflexology [23–29,31], and non-specific therapeutic massage (techniques for feet, hand, back, and neck massage or effleurage, petrissage, stroking, frictions, vibrations, tapotement, rocking, and shaking) [16,30,32].
