Swedish Massage Strokes For the Legs, Feet, and Abdomen
1.  Front of legs:        
        a.  Effleurage up calf to thigh - applying oil.
        b.  Petrissage over calf, knee, and thigh.  Work thigh in 3 parts - inside, center, outside.
        c.  Circular friction “Fulling” - over tibialis anterior and front of thigh.
        d.  Wringing - effleurage over calf up to thigh and do wringing of the thigh muscles.
        e.  Deep effleurage - create a “V” with your hands and work over calf and thigh.
        f.  Vibration - using both hands shake the quadriceps muscles.
        g.  End with effleurage.

2.  Tops of feet:        
        a.  Friction - thumb strokes along the length of the foot.
        b.  Cross-friction - thumb strokes across the top of the foot.
        c.  Circular friction - broad gentle circles over the top of the foot and around ankles.
        d.  Toe circles - end by massaging each toe individually from base to tip.
        e.  Kidney 1 (acupressure)/ Solar plexus area (reflexology) - it is comforting  and relaxing to  end by holding this point on both feet for a moment before moving on.

3.  Abdomen:  Practitioner is positioned at client’s right side.
        Note:  When doing abdominal work on a female client, you always drape the breast area with a towel or folded sheet.
1.  Passive touch -  before undraping the abdomen, place both hands on the abdomen for a moment of passive touch.
2.  Belly circles - apply oil while making clockwise circles with flat open hands, following the flow of the large intestine.
3.  Wringing - place your hands on either side of their abdomen and wring your hands across, back and forth.
4.  Petrissage - use open flat hands across the abdomen in an undulating, wavelike motion.  Roll from the heel of the hands to the fingertips.  The rhythmic compressions help to stimulate the internal organs.
7.  Pelvic Rock - place one hand on client’s shoulder and the other over the opposite ASIS (hip bone).
Keep a firm contact on the shoulder as you gently rock the pelvis approx. 10-15 times.  Repeat on the other side.
