What is the light, continuous-stroking massage movement applied with fingers and palms in a slow and rhythmic manner?

Effleurage
Friction
Petrissage
Tapotement

The correct answer is: Effleurage

Effleurage is the correct answer because it refers to a light, continuous-stroking massage movement applied with fingers and palms in a slow and rhythmic manner. This technique is commonly used at the beginning and end of a massage session to help relax the client and prepare the body for deeper work. Friction, Petrissage, and Tapotement are not the correct answers because they refer to different massage techniques. Friction involves deep, circular movements applied with the fingers or palm. Petrissage involves lifting, squeezing, and kneading the muscles. Tapotement refers to a rapid, rhythmic percussion movement using the hands.
