@moveu: Muscle Scraping. 😵💫 Let’s get this out of the way first—here we are showing a scraping technique to break up adhesions/scar tissue and encourage the healing process by tenderizing the area and promoting blood flow. Influenced by Gua Sha? 💆🏼♀️Yes! 😌 Backed by science? Depends on who you ask/believe. 🤔 Regardless of its origin or whether or not it is “proven”, we’ve known many to experience relief with this technique. But it doesn’t feel the best at first and @Coach Ty may or may not have lost some leg hair in the filming of this video. 🫠 For the IT band, Dr. Mike is starting just above the knee, maintaining a 45 degree angle 📐 and even pressure as he glides the tool up the muscle moving into the TFL and the Iliac Crest. He also shows a technique of using smaller strokes 🤏and describes pausing in an area where you feel knots or adhesions and spending a little extra time on the area. ⏰ Maybe you will experience a little extra mobility and comfort, maybe you’ll hate it. You won’t know until you try it! Scrape away! 💥 PS. The scrapper Doc Mike is using is linked in out favorites page!❗️Link in bio for more information! #musclescrapping #guasha #scartissue #muscle #anatomyart #painfree
