Which one of the following is NOT a type of back massage?
Soaking
The correct answer is Soaking.
Back massage strokes used in nursing are effleurage (long gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (tapping/percussion), friction and vibration. They relax muscles, improve circulation and prevent pressure sores.
Soaking means immersing a body part in water or solution (e.g., a foot soak); it is a hydrotherapy measure, not a massage stroke.
Short trick: Massage strokes = E-P-T-F-V: Effleurage, Petrissage, Tapotement, Friction, Vibration.
