Cross-Friction Massage

Cross-Friction Massage is a therapeutic technique used to treat injuries and pain in muscles and tendons. It involves applying pressure across the muscle fibers, rather than along them. This method helps to break down scar tissue and improve circulation in the affected area, promoting healing and flexibility. Typically performed by a trained therapist, it can be used for specific injuries, like tendonitis or strains. While it may cause some discomfort during treatment, the goal is to reduce pain and enhance recovery in the long run.
