Ausstreichen (Effleurage) als Einhand-, Hand-über-Hand- sowie zirkelförmigen Streichungen

Effleurage (Streichung; von frz. effleurer [eflœˈʀe] „flüchtig berühren“)
Die Streichung ist der angenehmste und entspannendste Handgriff der Massage. Sie wird vor allem am Anfang zum Verteilen des Öls (oder der Creme) eingesetzt und um die Haut des Patienten an die Hand des Therapeuten zu gewöhnen. Während der Behandlung dient sie als Erholungspause zwischen den stärkeren Griffen. Zum Abschluss der Massage wird die Streichung zur Entspannung der gestressten Muskulatur und Erholung für den Patienten angewendet. Der Rücken des Patienten kann nach der Massage mit Einreibealkohol unter schnellen Streichungen eingerieben werden. Das lockert die Muskulatur und verhindert die Entzündung der Haarwurzel.

Notably, Ling's techniques, having been borrowed by Mezger, are still known by their French names (effleurage (long, gliding strokes), petrissage (lifting and kneading the muscles), friction (firm, deep, circular rubbing movements), tapotement (brisk tapping or percussive movements), and vibration (rapidly shaking or vibrating specific muscles)). Each of these techniques are fundamental elements of Tui na, and had been practiced in China for several thousand years prior.

ef·fleu·rage (ef-lūr-ahzh')
A form of massage consisting of superficial or deep long, unbroken strokes in which the hand conforms the surface and follows the fiber direction of underlying structures.
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/effleurage
Effleurage consists of stroking movements. Stroking movements start and finish a massage routine and also linking in other movements. They are applied with the entire palm surface of the hand and starting with superficial strokes to apply the oil or cream. As the pressure used in superficial stoking is light the direction of the strokes may be towards the heart or away from heart.

Effleurage (stroking)
The hands are passed rhythmically and continuously over a client's skin, in one direction only, with the aim of increasing blood flow in that direction, stretching tissues, relaxing the client and aiding the dispersal of waste products. The word effleurage is derived from French, meaning "to skim". It involves stroking movements of the hands sliding over the skin and is always the first and last technique (as well as being used between other techniques) applied in a massage session. Effleurage may be used with varying tempo and pressure according to the stage of the condition and whatever the desired effect of the massage is.
