Tapotement is Swedish massage technique consisting of rhythmic percussion movements, administered with the edge of the hand, loose fists, cupped hand, or the fingers. Tapotement is performed in a rhythmic way, with fast pace, usually alternating hands.
The term Tapotement comes from the French word "tapoter" which means to tap. Tapotement is very often referred to as massage percussion.
