Los moviemientos del masaje sigue siempre la misma pauta, 5 ***bombeos*** en la misma posición antes de cambiar al siguiente punto.
El ritmo de los ***bombeos*** debe ser cíclico, siempre siguiendo el mismo patrón para cada punto.
5 ***bombeos*** en el punto 1 y en el punto 2.
Es un texto de cosmetica, como realizar un masaje antes/ despues de aplicar productos. 'Pumps' me parece inadecuado, se díria algo como 'taps' or 'touches'?
Gracias

Swedish massage is the style that comes to mind when most people think about massage. It was developed in Stockholm a couple of centuries ago and is the most common and best-known type form of bodywork performed today.
The goal is relaxing then entire body and this is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Additional techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending and stretching. Lotion is often used to reduce friction and stimulate the skin.
