They are soothing, long, sliding strokes in the direction of the lines that begin and end body rub sessions and also serve as a transitional movement from one area to another. Depending on what part of the body is being massaged, it can be done with both hands or one at a time with the palms, knuckles, or fingertips. The main thing is that the hand should be relaxed and go gently over the skin, not pushing it into folds.

Kneading

Kneading during a body rub therapy is called passive muscle exercises because these movements put the same kind of strain on the muscles as exercising. The masseuse grasps, squeezes, lifts and rolls the massaged area. This stage of bodyrub sessions is the most technical, it's used to evaluate the masseuse's training, and kneading has the greatest effect on the muscles. During an erotic or Nuru massage, kneading is carried out along the muscle fibers. Both hands are wrapped around the area to be massaged. The thumbs knead the front area for the masseuse, the others knead the surface behind. Transverse kneading is performed across the course of the muscle. The massaged area is embraced by two hands at some distance. The thumb is set aside. The palms move across the area, "gripping" the muscle. Semicircular kneading during a Nuru massage in Charlotte is done with one hand, with the fingers moving in a circle toward the thumb, gripping the crease, from bottom to top.

Vibration

The hand creates vibrations of varying amplitude and frequency, deeply affecting the skin and nervous system. Weak vibration increases muscle tone, and strong vibration decreases muscle tone. Vibration during an erotic massage in Charlotte helps achieve an analgesic effect, which is important in cases of muscle or back pain. Body rub vibration can be performed with a single finger, several fingers, the palm of the hand or the hand for a deeper impact on the muscles.
