TRY THIS SIMPLE EXERCISE
While standing, lift one leg off the ground and pull your foot back towards your bottom, so your knee is brought into full flexion. Feel how far you can comfortably flex your knee before it starts to feel tight around the front of the joint and the bottom of the thigh.
Next, take a seat and pull your knee into a flexed position, one foot resting on the seat itself. With your fingertips, push into the skin and underlying tissues around your knee joint and massage in small circular movements. Your fingers should not glide on the skin but be deep enough to move skin and underlying tissue around in stretching, massaging movements. Work all around the knee cap and front and sides of the joint.
After 3 or 4 minutes of this, repeat the standing flexion exercise and feel how much freer your knee feels!
We store tension in our bodies. This tension compromises the range and quality of movement in our joints. Regular DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE RESTORES the range and quality of movement. Time and again, happy clients have stood up from the treatment couch and enjoyed a feeling of IMMEDIATE improvement as a result of targetted deep tissue massage.
