Friction

Friction is a stroke that pokes through the skin and massages the
underlying muscles. While doing friction "put on the skin like a
glove" to reach through it and massage the muscles. Ask the
patient frequently if you are deep enough or if you are too deep.
Always do friction on the opposite side of the spine from where
you are standing. Strokes are usually done in the direction of the
muscle fibers
