(STRIPPING STROKES) are the application of very slow and deep gliding pressure along the lengh of the muscle fibers. stripping strokes release and elongate tightened muscle and fascia, flush the muscles with fresh blood, and erase trigger points.
(CROSS FIBER FRICTION) is usually performed on tendons and done across the grain. cross fiber friction creates a healing response in the tissues treated, aswell as releases adhesions and helps form healthy scar tissue.
(STATIC PRESSURE) is an excellent way to release sensitive areas. static pressure numbs the area, creates a flushing of blood, and helps to eliminate trigger points.
(STATIC PRESSURE w/movement) helps to release the tissue even more effectively, especially on the small forarm muscles.
(STRETCHES) help to reset the muscles proprioceptive sence, reminding the muscle that it's now able to lengthen more. streching after the massage helps to make the work longer lasting.
