What is a relaxing and smoothing massage movement known as?

Petrissage
Effleurage
Tapotement
Vibration

The correct answer is: Effleurage

Effleurage is a type of massage movement that is known for its relaxing and smoothing effects. It involves long, gliding strokes that are used to gently massage the muscles and promote relaxation. While the other options listed may also be used in massage, they do not specifically refer to a relaxing and smoothing movement. Petrissage, for example, involves kneading and squeezing of the muscles, Tapotement consists of light and rapid tapping, and Vibration uses shaking or trembling motions. While these techniques may have benefits in a massage, they are not typically associated with providing a relaxing and smoothing effect.
