Friction massage

In this section you will find a unique overview of some Cyriax transverse deep friction massage techniques used in soft tissue therapy. Every friction massage technique is illustrated with a photo and the technical/practical details are described extensively. A USB stick containing 7.36 GB of film material illustrating all Cyriax techniques can be purchased on line. The films also cover, besides the friction massage techniques, other conservative treatment techniques such as all manipulation and mobilisation techniques of the extremities and the spine. Have a look at a recent study on the application of deep transverse friction massage in France...
