Spanish term or phrase: movimiento de arrastre
This comes up twice in a document relating to massage/acupressure I am not sure what the correct term is especially as arrastrar has so many meanings. It is in a section on back massage.

1)
Trabajar los laterales de la columna vertebral a modo de digitopresion:
Presiones de digitopuntura de manera simultanea en ambos lados de la columna en sentido ascendente y descendente.
***Movimientos de arrastre*** con los pulgares en horizontal, partiendo de la columna hacia el lateral.

2)
Situados en un lateral del cliente se realiza un ***movimiento de arrastre*** con los pulgares en los laterales del esternón alternando los dedos. Primero en sentido ascendente y despues descendente.

I am hoping there is a massage/acupressure expert out there who can help. TIA

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Neil I know its not esoteric but there didn't seem to be a massage section! I couldn't find any dragging involved with acupressure which is why I put this query up.
