This treatment involves working on deeper layers of muscle tissue, namely, Tendons and Fascia. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body. Hence, it is recommended to people who are comfortable with firmer pressure.Initially, lighter weight is applied to warm up and prepare the muscles. Techniques such as stripping and friction are then used. Stripping includes deep gliding pressure along the length of muscle fibres while friction involves applying pressure across the grain of muscle to release adhesion and realign tissue fibres.
