How should scalp massage be performed?

  1. With quick and varying pressure

  2. Using the palms only

  3. With continuous, even motion and pressure

  4. In a random pattern

The correct answer is: With continuous, even motion and pressure

Scalp massage should be performed with continuous, even motion and pressure to ensure an effective treatment. Option A, using quick and varying pressure, may be uncomfortable and ineffective in reaching deeper layers of tissue. Option B, using only the palms, may not provide adequate coverage of the entire scalp. Option D, using a random pattern, may not address specific areas that may benefit from targeted pressure. Therefore, option C is the most suitable approach for scalp massage.
