Beating, slapping and pounding techniques are performed on  the areas of the body with larger muscles; like thighs or buttocks. Compared to percussion techniques, Beating and pounding produce profound effects on the target area of the body. This technique helps in stimulating blood circulation to an area, reducing and softening areas of adipose tissue and increasing tone of the muscle. The fast movement of these techniques stimulates capillarisation of the blood. The increase in the production of the amount of capillaries in the blood is known as capillarisation. If there are more calories in the blood the oxygen and blood  reaches the muscle quicker and faster.

This technique also stimulates nerves and improves sensation,  even when there is loss of nerve power.
