Petrissage is a kind of movement used particularly in Swedish massage, as are effleurage, tapotement, friction and percussion. Petrissage takes many different forms, depending on the intention of the therapist, but it is generally defined as kneading, lifting, wringing or squeezing of the skin or superficial muscles.
