Massage demonstration from educator Clare Riddell @pressurepointtraining4535 Techniques Demonstrated in This Massage Video: Criss-Cross Effleurage Palmar Effleurage Circles Palmar Kneading General Kneading Skin Rolling Forearm Effleurage Lateral Elbow Glides Cam and Spindle Technique Transverse Stroke Sustained Pressure (Trigger Point Technique) Lengthening Technique Lateral Release Myofascial Stretch Pelvic Rocking In this video, you will learn a series of professional massage therapy techniques used to reduce muscle tension, improve soft tissue mobility, and support recovery from musculoskeletal discomfort. These hands-on methods are commonly used by physiotherapists, massage therapists, and manual therapy practitioners to improve circulation, decrease pain, and restore normal tissue movement. The demonstration includes a range of foundational and advanced soft tissue techniques such as effleurage, kneading, skin rolling, myofascial stretching, trigger point pressure, and mobilising movements. Each technique targets different layers of muscle and fascia to help release tight tissue, improve flexibility, and promote relaxation. Techniques like criss-cross effleurage and palmar kneading are often used to warm up tissues and increase blood flow. Deeper techniques such as transverse strokes, sustained trigger point pressure, and lateral elbow glides can help address localized muscle tightness and trigger points. Myofascial stretch and pelvic rocking are used to encourage tissue lengthening, relaxation, and improved movement. This video is designed for physiotherapy students, massage therapists, manual therapists, and healthcare professionals who want to expand their soft tissue treatment skills. It may also be helpful for anyone interested in understanding how therapeutic massage techniques are applied in clinical practice. If you are learning manual therapy, this demonstration provides a clear overview of multiple massage techniques that can be incorporated into treatment sessions for back, pelvic, and soft tissue dysfunction. Topics covered include: massage therapy techniques, soft tissue therapy, physiotherapy massage techniques, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, manual therapy methods, deep tissue massage techniques, and therapeutic massage for muscle tension.
