Petrissage is used in massage for its:

Soothing effects
Relaxing effects
Invigorating effects
Magnetic effects

The correct answer is: Invigorating effects

Petrissage is a massage technique that is specifically used for its invigorating effects. This technique involves kneading, pressing, and rolling the muscles to help improve blood flow and stimulate the nerve endings. Option A and B are incorrect as soothing and relaxing effects are often associated with a different massage technique called effleurage. Option D is incorrect as magnetic effects have not been scientifically proven to aid in massage therapy. Though petrissage does have some therapeutic benefits, it is not typically used for its healing or magnetic properties. Option C, invigorating effects, best describes the intended purpose of petrissage.
