Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng | | Japanese term or phrase: 緩急をつける | From a massage chair explanation, found in these two sentences:
「叩打法」で、動作に強弱の緩急をつけながら、固まった筋肉をほぐし身体をならしていきます。
腰全体を刺激するために、巧打法で平均毎秒６回程度、緩急をつけながらほぐしていきます。 |
| | | English translation:to vary the speed/pace/strength | Explanation:
In the context of first sentence, 緩急 seems to mean "strength."
As to the second sentence, I think it can be interpreted as any one of the three.

I think "動作に強弱の緩急をつけながら" is a strange expression. I would say "動作に強弱の変化をつけながら."
