	Four basic massage techniques. In basic effleurage, keep firm contact with the skin as you stroke down your partner's back. In rolling petrissage, push the heel of one hand across your partner's back, while you pull and lift the skin with the fingers of the other. In circular friction, rotate your thumb in small circles on the ropelike tissues of your partner's back. In beating percussion, use a loose fist to gently beat the fleshy areas of the body.
