The primary purpose of friction in body treatments is to relax stiff, deeply situated muscles. This technique involves using a back-and-forth motion of the hands on the skin, which helps to increase blood circulation and reduce muscular tension. By applying friction, a therapist can effectively target specific areas of tension in the muscles, promoting relaxation and improving overall muscle function.

While friction may have secondary benefits, such as enhancing circulation and contributing to skin toning or detoxification, its main focus is on the therapeutic relaxation of deeper muscle layers. This helps to alleviate discomfort and stiffness, which is often a primary concern for clients seeking relief from muscle tension.
