A more intense massage using deeper penetrating strokes, direct pressure or cross tissue frictions.
When there is chronic (ongoing) muscle tension or injury, bands of rigid tension form in the muscles, tendons and ligaments, causing pain, limited movement and inflamation. Tissues can also tense up due to a nearby injury.
The body repairs injured tissue in a haphazard manner, leaving fibres in the tissue misaligned, causing a blockage in the affected tissue.
Using cross tissue frictions, breaks the scar tissue down and allows the re-aligning the muscle fibres.
