Massages do not manipulate:

  1. Circulation

  2. Flexibility

  3. Muscle tone

  4. Relaxation

The correct answer is: Circulation

The focus of the question is on what massages do not manipulate. While circulation is indeed positively influenced by massage techniques, flexibility, muscle tone, and relaxation are also key areas affected by massage therapy. Flexibility is enhanced as massages can help to relax tight muscles and increase the range of motion in the joints. Muscle tone is influenced by massage as it can help to improve muscle function and recovery. Relaxation is one of the primary benefits of massage, reducing stress and promoting overall well-being. Thus, while circulation is influenced by massage, flexibility, muscle tone, and relaxation are more directly manipulated or enhanced during the practice, making circulation the least accurate choice in the context of what massages specifically target for manipulation.
