The phases of the massage against cellulite
A professional will recognize the type of cellulite you are affected by and act accordingly. Keep in mind that there are different anti-cellulite massage techniques, different phases and ways of proceeding, depending on the person.
Usually everything starts with the "touch", that is a light rubbing whereby the palm of your hand slips on the part affected by the cellulite and you proceed lightly with the fingertips. The movement is always in the direction of the heart for the legs. This technique is typical of manual lymph drainage.
The "friction" is a subsequent technique, which involves a superficial movement whereby the fingertips exert a certain pressure on the skin so as to slide the skin on the underlying tissues.
Follows the " vibration", a massage whereby the hand rests on the affected area and pressure is transmitted together with imperceptible oscillations or vibrations to the tissues.
The "percussion" is a more energetic technique still, made with the knuckles of the hands held in a fist, tapping with varying intensity the areas affected by cellulite.
Then there is the "kneading", so you grab with your two hands, between your thumbs and fingers a large fold of skin and muscles and making it roll between your fingers, just like you do with the pizza dough or Finally, the "S" maneuver is carried out by grasping with both hands, between the thumbs and the fingers, a large fold of skin and muscle, which is pushed with one hand in one direction and with the other in opposite direction, like an S note.
