Massage focus areas

The picture above illustrates the areas that hold the most tension in the average client. Tightness of each of these muscles can cause; lordosis, femoral internal rotation, tibial lateral rotation, hunched neck ( gothic shoulders) and forward head posture to name a few.

Deep and sustained pressure must be used to relax the muscles and bring blood to them allowing the muscle to decontract.

IT Band- gliding along the IT band in supine or sidelying can be done in either direction.
