Wringing

Here is the definition of a massage technique that includes the term "wringing" for which I can't find a French equivalent:

petrissage n.

French for kneading. A maneuveur of massage. It has many variants: pressing, squeezing, rolling, wringing, etc. Also known as kneading.

My translation:

pétrissage n.m.

Manœuvre de massage à plusieurs variantes: pressage, compression, roulement, essorage?, etc.

Any other suggestions about the translation are welcome.

The source of this is:

EISENBERG, Myron G., Dictionary of Rehabilitation, New-York, Springer Publishing Company, 1995, 375 p.
Personne ne sait?

Cette traduction est difficile, car il y a conflit synonymique en français.
Avant les machines à laver, on lavait les vêtements, draps etc à la main; puis on les roulait en longueur, et on roulait encore et encore pour essorer les dernières gouttes d'eau, avant de les suspendre au soleil... eh ben, c'est ça, wringing, ce geste d'enrouler pour essorer les dernières gouttes.
Oui, mais ici c'est dans un contexte de massage, est-ce que ça fonctionne aussi?

La solution serait peut-être d'éliminer ce terme de la définition en français.
Wringing is a massage technique in the category of petrissage movements.

In general, petrissage movements involve compressing soft tissues (such as skin and muscle tissue) against each other and/or against the underlying bone/s.
In the case of wringing, the soft tissues are compressed against their underlying structures before they are lifted. The lifted tissue is then pulled gently away from the underlying structures using the fingers of one hand, while the thumb of the other hand gently pushes the tissue back towards the underlying structures.
