Vibrations are a massage technique in which tissues are
pressed and released in an "up and down" movement. This often takes the
form of a fine trembling movement applied using the palmar surfaces or
just some of the finger tips of either or both hands.
This is not one of the most common massage movements but is used as and
when appropriate. Its effects can include soothing irritated nerves,
loosening scar tissue, relaxing muscles in the forearm, and stimulating
circulation and glandular activity. (Specific benefits of vibrations
depend on where on the body they are applied.)
If in doubt about the safety of a movement don't perform
it - seek advice from a tutor or medical professional.
