In giving a scalp massage, firm rotary movements are given to:

  1. Soften muscular tissues

  2. Slow down blood circulation

  3. Loosen the scalp tissues

  4. Tighten the scalp tissues

The correct answer is: Loosen the scalp tissues

In scalp massage, firm rotary movements are given to loosen the scalp tissues. This helps to increase blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles, promoting relaxation and stimulating hair growth. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the intended effects of scalp massage. Softening, slowing down, or tightening the scalp tissues would not have the same therapeutic benefits as loosening them.
