    Explanation
    Kneading is a massage technique that involves applying pressure and manipulating the muscles and soft tissues in a circular motion. It helps to increase blood flow, relax muscles, and relieve tension. Alternant and intermediate compression refer to the pressure applied during kneading, which helps to break up knots and adhesions in the muscles. Friction and effleurage are other massage techniques that involve different types of movements and pressure. Chucking, on the other hand, is not a massage technique and is unrelated to the given options.
