Key points

  • Warm the area and apply the medium with effleurage before starting petrissage.
  • Tuck the drape out of the way so you can reach the whole muscle group.
  • Face the limb in a squat stance, using your legs to move and your abdominals to support your back.
  • Good posture gives more even pressure as well as protecting you.
  • Oil may suit a hairy client better than lotion because it drags less.
