Strokes Used in Massage Treatments - Massage Techniques

This page has articles that look at different massage strokes or techniques used by a masseur. How to do massage is not mystical, it is quite strait forward but, it does take a lot of training and experience to do them properly. This is why a trained masseuse will give you much more in the way of benefits from a treatment. Strokes are applied to different areas of the body, use different tools (fingers, palms, knuckles) and have different affects. The details included here describe many of these from my experience, training and other well respected authors.
