What is the primary effect of the 'Vibration' massage technique?

To apply pressure to the muscles
To shake the skin lightly
To enhance blood circulation
To relieve tension in muscles

The correct answer is: To shake the skin lightly

The primary effect of the 'Vibration' massage technique is to shake the skin lightly. This technique involves quick, rhythmic movements that create a vibrating sensation, which can stimulate the nerves and encourage relaxation. Vibration is often used to increase the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids just beneath the skin, enhancing the overall experience of the massage. While it can contribute to improving circulation and may indirectly help relieve muscle tension, the defining characteristic of this technique is its ability to provide that light shaking effect on the skin, making it distinct from other massage techniques that apply firmer pressure or focus more directly on deep muscular relief.
