      • Know how to place tissue on full stretch
      • Confident of overall benefit
    • Rules
      • Single out tissue and exact location
      • Perpendicular to fibers
      • Fingers and skin move simultaneously to avoid injury
    • Apllications
      • About 1 min- just within Px tolerance
      • Can return several times
      • Finish with longitudinal stroke/ passive stretch
      • Can finish by icing site

    • Separates adhesion between muscles
    • Breaks down scar tissue
    • Stimulate vasodilation
    • Realign new scar tissue
